Hello everyone.
I think its time for me to start by second build. Some time ago i finished my 603 build and i had couple of parts left over. I didnt believe when people told me that there is no left over parts because its parts for another build 
well i was thinking to do another retro build but i already have one for now so i think i'll build semi target rifle. this is what i had in mind 
thank you to brownells ar builder I'm going to use my "raw" barrel from my parts retro parts kit and i'll keep it white. Its 20" and 1/9. I already have aeroprecision lower with DPMS parts kit. but that is pretty much it for now. I'm building this rifle with pocket change basically. so it will take me a while. One of the parts i'm interested right now is low profile gas block with bipod or bipod mount. do you guys think you can give me a pointer? also i would be happy to hear any input you guys might have! thank you! |

Quoted:
20" varminter kit from J&T and add in a 2 stage trigger. I think that would fit the definition of semi-target build. Add in some glass. I think two stage trigger will way later update. Thank you for the thought! I actually havent even thought about. Quoted:
Next, don't mount the bipod backwards and keep up forward. Oh ok! Thats how brownells put it, but I probably wouldnt know it till I actually buy one :) |

putting a stress point on your barrel will defeat the purpose of the 'free float' handguard.

the bipod should be mounted to the free float tube/rail ok i can see why. so it doesnt add preasure/bend on the barrel. is that right? correct thank you. i didnt think about it but it make sence. |

Great looking rifles! That is what I want mine to look like! Is it a2 stock on it? I have a1 stock that I will use for time being, but then would like to get a fancy one some time later. thank you for sharing a picture! What gas block do you have on it? |

Well I ordered a complete kit at that price from J&T so it included the lower parts kit and stock assembly. I added a bipod stud on the free float. There is another uupgrade option for the low profile gas block, I just got the standard option. If you already have your complete lower then you just need the upper assembly which would be less $$$.
You can also get similar kits/uppers from Palmetto, Model 1, M&A. Plus you have Daniel defense, bravo company, spikes, White Oak and many more if you want something considered to be a little more top tier. However the first 3 plus J&T have good reputations around and I have ordered from all 4 over the years. Might want to just do a little research on the barrel you want on your build. My J&T is 556 chamber, 1:8 twist made by Double Star Corporation. The Palmetto on the right is a stainless 223 wylde chamber 1:8 made by Wilson but I think Palmetto gets their barrels from Wilson and FN. The 223 wylde chamber would be a better choice for a target rifle, not sure if it was an option when I ordered from J&T. |
