Build me an AR.

Been kicking around the idea of getting an AR for awhile. Looking to piece one together. Still working on getting educated on them. That said, I'd like to know what you guys would build on a $1200 budget. Only requirements I have is a 20-24" barrel and bi-pod be included.

 

Thanks!

Optics included at 1200? Why such a long barrel?

 

Anyways, here's a parts list:

 

Gun envy forged lower = 70.00

Aero precision complete upper = 80.00

Cerakote receivers patriot brown = 100.00

Rainier 20 inch barrel = 260.00

CMMG lpk = 75.00

Geissele G2S trigger = 165.00

Geissele 15 inch rail = 260.00

AIM BCG = 80.00

Regular charging handle = 15.00

Troy low pro steel gas block = 35.00

Gas tube = 15.00

Spikes complete buffer system = 80.00

B5 stock in coyote brown = 50.00

B5 grip I'm coyote brown = 30.00

Lancer translucent 20rd mag = 15.00

Harris bipod = 60.00

 

That's 1390.00... But you can run cheaper buffer system and get an ALG trigger to cut a few bucks off with not cerakoting it... You can also knock off another 100 if you get a less expensive rail like something from strike industries.

What do you plan to do with it? How do you see yourself using it? What do you want out of a 20"+ barrel, that a 16" will not do for you?

 

Great question to be asked. I assumed he wanted to do basic bench/table shooting from 400-800 yards.

 

I will say, I have an AR15 with a rifle length gas system and a 20 inch barrel and the recoil is nil. Maybe that's why?!?!

No optics needed at that price, I realize that would most likely compromise on both the build and the optics if that was the case.

That is part of why I want a long barrel. The other reason being that I just love the look of a long barrel AR.

Understood. Well, the build I mentioned should be accurate and look cool while being accurate. I might suggest going down to an 18 inch rainier barrel and a 13 inch geissele rail. Keep in mind if love to help you source/build it. It'd be fun!

Bob has some great suggestions, only thing I would do different is I would do different is the barrel. Unless you are going with the Rainier arms Ultra Match barrels, I would just go with a Wilson combat 18in SPR barrel or a White Oaks 20in service barrel and save your self some money.

Bob, where are you finding the rail for $260? I keep finding it for $360.

ALSO, if you go with an 18 inch barrel the 13 will look the best.

 

Here is the 13 inch DDC Color for 250.00
