I got a basic Mega Lower, Spikes upper w/ Eotech. I'm looking to build a 6.8 with an 18" ss white oak armament Barrel and a 20" ss fluted 5.56.
I got the barrels bolts, one Mega upper/lower match and an geisselle ssa-e trigger. Plan on free floating both, so I still need those and a stocks. Most upper parts are ordered but not everything. But it's enough to get me excited

Do you guys know how how long of gas tubes I need for the WOA 18" and 20" barrels? How about some recommendations on free float hand guards? 18" barrel is a mid length 20" barrel is a rifle length what kind of budget do you have for the FF?...do you want smooth or railed? http://store.troyind.com/TRX_BattleRails_s/51.htm |

Thanks for the input guys.
I got some more questions? 1. Shouldn't the front site be attached to the gas block for better accuracy? I would like to scope both of these guns, as I already have the basic carbine with Eotech and BUIS! I would use both guns for hunting/target shooting and I hunt with a Browning 270 now and since most of my hunting is in Fl and Ga I don't shoot distances greater than a 200 yds. but might shoot targets out much further. The 5.56 for targets/ pigs the 6.8 for deer/targets and my girlfriends xhusband ( did I say that out loud) 2. Scope sugestions? |

Yes ... the farther out the front site (or the more sight radius you have) the more accurate the rifle will be. Scopes are really a personal choice ... I like Night Force (buddy had one) but they are expensive and I don't currently own one  I have used a couple of the Bushnell 3200 and 4200 Elites and they are a really nice scope with really clear glass for the money ... the 6500 I haven't had any experience with but I'm sure they are also pretty nice. I have also used a couple of Leupold's and they are super nice also ... I had a Mark AR 4-12 X 40 AO and it was a nice scope ... the Mark 4's are probably the best Leupold offer but again are pretty pricey.
