I've decided to build myself an AR, and went and bought a Bushmaster lower. Now I need to decide on my upper strategy. I can just order a Bushy upper-half complete, or build one from scratch. I live pretty close to where Noveske is located and his parts look pretty cool but I don't know whether it is worth the premium. How about Bushmaster receiver and parts and a Noveske barrel and suppressor? This is my first build and it doesn't look to complicated. But it looks like if I build it myself I need to worry about headspacing. How big a deal is that? And also, while I'm at it, what is the story on breaking in the barrel? Thank in advance for the help guys. |

what is your budget? projected uses for this AR? Noveske makes top stuff headspacing is not usually an issue, esp w/ new spec stuff; check it if it worries you--it cant hurt bbl break in: i have heard it a couple of ways: start off by breaking it down, cleaning, and lubing then either: one shot, clean--repeat for 100rnds; shoot 200-500 rnds through her and its broken in (both involved different bbls) i just clean, lube and shoot the heck out of em |

I'm trying to keep to a budget of 15-1700. I'm trying to build a close to medium range gun. I'm starting to realize though, that I really need to build 2. One carbine for plinking and to be my SHTF weapon, and one range rifle. So, for the carbine I guess I don't really need the premium barrel. Is it too much to think I'm going to get 100yd accuracy out of a carbine? And if it is possible, is it worth it to go to the Noveske? |
