I've got a Bushie 20" and I want to actually have two rifles: A 16" lightweight carbine A 20" HBAR for CMP matches and long range shooting From a practical and cost perspective, what is my best route? Send the service rifle to have a new trigger and SS barrel with free floating tube, or to buy an upper? For the purposes of costs, I would consider two uppers and one lower. EDIT: Does anyone make a free floaing tupe for 16" shorties? Shorty or mid length, I don't care. |
| You might consider installing a Rock River two stage match trigger in your BM lower. The trigger is predictable, within CMP weight limitations, and because it is a two stage trigger, it is NOT unsafe for use in a defensive role. Then just configure your two uppers the way that you want....Vola! Two guns in one. |

What about the upper? Is it unrealistic or cost prohibitive to convert my 'normal' 20" to a free floating tack driver with SS barrel? Would it be cheaper to sell the upper and buy a nice CMP upper? I'm dreaming about a lightweight 16" lower too, preferrably lightweight. 2MOA would be enough for this plinker. |

Sell a rifle and buy All RRA from (pete in NH) (1 RRA lower with NM trigger for $265) 1 RRA SS DCM upper for $600 1 DCM buttstock weight $25 and 1 Turner hi-power sling $45 This is the cheapest route and will take you all the way to camp perry. I had one of these and it grouped 4/10in at 100yds with iron sights. (prone and with a sling groups averaged an inch at 100yds) otherwise you need NM sights, a NM trigger, a Match grade barrel, buttstock weight, free-float tubed guards, NM handguards, NM sling (add this and it comes to around $900)< when the RRA rifle comes to $960 or so COMPLETE |
