In attempt to build something similar to what I carry as my duty weapon (M4, VITAL-2, Aimpoint M68, Aimpoint 3X, Knights RAS, Grip) and improve upon it, here's what I've planned to put together and a few questions.. * All things in bold are already purchased so I'm stuck with them. Lower Build: Stock: LMT SOPMOD Buffer/Spring: RRA Lower Reciever: RRA Trigger: RRA Match 2-Stage Trigger Guard: MagPul Enhanced Pistol Grip: MagPul MAID Saftey: RRA Ambi Mag Release: Norgon Ambi Upper Build: Upper Reciever: LMT BUIS: Troy Flip-Up Charging Handle: PRI Gas Buster BCG: LMT Enhanced (Auto or Semi???) Barrel: Noveske 14.5 w/ Standard Front Sight Post Comp: KAC M4 QD COMP Hand Guard: LaRue Tactical 7.0 Rail Covers: TangoDown Vertical Grip: TangoDown Optics: Aimpoint M3 (2 MOA) LaRue Cantilever CompM2 (LT129) Aimpoint 3X Undecided on the mount for the 3X Thats about it I think.. Useage for this gun are pretty much everything. Basicly I want to build a universal weapon that serves will in just about any situation. For long range plinking I plan to build a SPR clone. But that'll come once I recover from the build cost of this rifle. Any thoughts/suggestions/comments/ideas/ect..? I'm really having trouble deciding between the Colt M4A1 barrel and the Noveske. I'm sure the Noveske will offer more in the accuracy department especially at extended ranges, which wouldn't hurt since I am building a "short" rifle. I like the idea of still being able to reach out and put a hurting on something if need be. |

Both the Noveske and Colt barrels would be nice but I suggest you check out the BCM 14.5" uppers. You can get one for $400, complete, and they are high pressure tested and MPI'd. You're going to pay that for just a Colt or Noveske barrel. I think the quality of the BCM is right up there with the best and its a better value. Just my 2 cents. |

Awesome stuff.. Thanks for taking the time to share. After some thought and looking at the price difference between the two barrels, I went ahead and ordered my Noveske barrel today. The prices weren't that much different so I wen't with it. Good stuff. And again, Thanks for taking the time. |
