| I just started a build and currently have a Juggernaut Tactical upper and lower receiver. I have just about all the tools I need, but would like to hear some suggestions on a barrel that could be used for hunting (was thinking an 18") and a decent LPK. Thanks |

Hunting what? Is 5.56 even big game legal in your state, or are you going 6.8, .300 BLK, etc? We need a little more background info to be very helpful, although I will say that, unless you plan on shooting at extended ranges, a carbine is fine. I use my 16" AR-10 carbine to slay hogs, but certainly wouldn't want to for a cross canyon shot at an elk (wouldn't use .308 at all for that, but especially not from a short barrel).
Same goes for triggers: What do you desire, and what's your budget? the PSA QMS triggers are great for the price, but won't compete with a $200+ Timney or Geiselle. |
| I would be hunting mainly deer or coyotes and doing a lot of shooting at the range. I would like to get a 556 barrel but use decent 223 rounds for deer, and I realize its a small caliber but where I hunt, I wont be shooting deer more than 100 yards and yes it is legal in my state. and as far as the LPK, I was looking for something decent around 100 dollars or less. |
| I've been very happy with Daniel Defense. I have a 16" 5.56 DD barrel that is spot on. A little more $200 but, in my opinion, it money well spent. We can usually skimp on some parts but bolts and barrels do not fall into these groups. Also, I generally prefer the CMMG LPK. Because the parts are individually packaged, it's easier to pick out exactly which parts are what. |
