Help me build my next ARs

[stephen87]

Okay INGO. I have two AR lowers that need built. One is here, the other is a 2nd generation INGO lower.

Plans for the first: 14.5-14.7" M4 cut, carbine length gas system, with a pinned a welded flash hider. A2 sights with probably a carry handle. I can't figure out what upper to get though. Suggestions?

Plans for the second: I have no idea. I want a fixed stock AR, but not sure what to do with it. Do I want an M16 style? Yes. Do I want an SPR style? Yes. Do I want something that is a little different? Yes. Help me decide INGO.


To answer questions on the first: Yes, it will be pinned and welded. Yes, it will stay in that configuration. I have an SBR already, so I don't plan on SBRing this one. It's probably gonna be a trunk gun to be completely honest. Take it to the range every time I go. I won't be shooting it more than 100 yards for the most part. I want to stay under $700 on this build.

The other: I have no clue. I just know that I want a fixed stock as opposed to three collapsible stock ARs.

BCM has a few nice pinned and welded 14.5 inch uppers. Couple barrel options as well as hand guards. 500$ish with bolt and charging handle. Pin/weld is another 45$. Love mine though it is mid length gas system.

Primary Arms has a sale on ALG triggers until D-Day midnight. The ALG ACT is $59 with promo code DDAY. The QMS is $39, same promo code. $4-5 USPS shipping. Either should fit within your $700 budget and are plenty good for a 100 yd gun.

This is a good choice for a single stage smoothed out combat style trigger. BCM uses ALG ACT triggers in their factory built HSP "The Jack" carbines.

Are you sticking with 5.56, or are you considering other calibers?

 

[stephen87]

I would consider another caliber as well. I've thought about 300 blackout, but Rookie already did that. Dang mods.

I also considered a 6.5 Grendel precision build, but I'm not set on that either. If I did that though, I could do a 6.5 Grendel SPR.

Nope, never got around to it. I'll allow you to get one.

[stephen87]

Thank, I appreciate that.

 

[Rookie]

No problem. I'm the nice mod.

No problem. I'm the nice mod.

That's not what the other mods say...

He hasn't banned me yet and he's willing to pay for my challenge coins.

 

[Rookie]

All the other mods are mean. Unlike me.

[stephen87]

Only problem with the first one is that I really want to go with a carbine length gas system. I want to do a non-NFA M4 replica.
