Believe it or not it held zero even after being moved back and forth almost every day for a year. I just used the quarter or buckle and nothing else. Doesn't need to be too tight. |

What is the consensus on BCGs? Which one are you using in your A4 clone?

I think I am going to put a DD M4 RIS II rail on my rifle. That will FF the barrel, and weigh a little less then the M5. What do you want for your M5? |

Does anyone have any examples of a BUIS other then the Matech or the carry handle being used?

So, after reading through this thread more than twice, I haven't found the answer I'm looking for. Which Government profile barrel brand is the most accurate? If you had your pick of any Gvt profile 1/7 twist barrel, which one would you pick, and why?
|
|
|
If you want pure accuracy, get a match barrel.
Having owned Bushmaster, Saber, and BCM, I am most happy with my BCM A4 upper. Colt barrels are often quite accurate, but I find BCM easier to get and cheaper. I think if you buy BCM, you will find your rifle to be about a 1 MOA gun with good ammo. |
|

I have heard good things on this forum about the Sabre Defence 1/7 CL gov't barrel, which is why I have selected it for my M16A4gery build. It's a tad bit more expensive than the BCM though.

Thanks!

I'm not hating but what's with all the combat pics, inspiration? Cuz, they aren't clones, they are the real deal.

You are correct. That being said, it is nice to see how different units outfit their guns.

If it's a Colt, it's a copy of an original ArmaLite.
I am not LARRYG36. Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting. If your AR10 is marked Geneseo, IL, it's still an AR10 no matter what some people say. |

I've never had an AR that wouldn't shoot 1 MOA with good ammo. Colt, Bushmaster, Sabre, BCM all should be about the same as far as accuracy. It's hard to fins a Colt A4 barrel and Bushmaster uses a standard FSB so my choice for an A4 would be BCM or Sabre. I have a Sabre barreled upper and I have seen a BCM barreled A4 upper. From what I can tell they are about equal. For Lancelot: M16A4s with M68 and 300M KAC BUIS http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y84/120291018/M16a4wM68.jpg?t=1261943029 Is the 3rd ID the only unit in the U.S. Army to get M-16A4's? Evey pic I see of A4's in Army units, it's the "Broken Television" Division. |

As stated I bought a BCM A4ish upper. I forgot the carry handle so I ordered a BCM carry handle. It came today. I gotta say, if you need a carry handle this is the one to get. The thing is beautiful. Range report on or about the 8th.
