I have decided to build an upper and would like some input on components. I have pretty much decided that I am going to purchase a stripped VLTOR MUR upper (if i can find the darn thing in stock anywhere). Now I just need to decide on what length barrel (16 or 18) with what rate of twist (7 or 8) and should I buy a bolt that was made for that barrel or just buy a match BCG. I think I want to make it a midlength upper but I want to design it for tactical use. I am not only looking for input on length, rate of twist, and so on but would also like to know company names. I know I said I want a tactical platform but I would also like to be able to throw rounds down range to 500m accurately (not talking sub MOA but able to hit a silouhette target). Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Noveske Next question.
I don't think you can build it better or cheaper than he is doing already. If I was stuck on doing it myself: Vltor MUR upper Noveske Recon barrel w/ matched bolt DD lite rail (just because you have to do some fitting to make the LaRue rail work). |
| Accuracy is controlled by the three B's: barrel, bullet, and brass, in that order. Buy a high quality barrel, with a good reputation of being an MOA barrel or under. People who own them, post their groups. Look around. Read as many barrel makers web pages as you can: teach yourself: take your time. You will make the correct decision. |
