I want to build a stock A2 and would like recommendations for which to build. I am more interested in quality over price. Thanks for the input. |

M&A uses wilson barrels and has good prices. [url]http://www.m-aparts.com/[/url] I went Oly and was pleased. But you do not get a chrome lined barrel. Lifetime warranty. great accuracy. [url]http://www.olyarms.com/[/url] Bushy for best quality. and resale. I have the DCM bushy. [url]http://www.bushmaster.com/[/url] I have yet to use J&T so can not give opinion on them. If you want the best and money is not a problem. Armalite is the way to go. [url]http://www.armalite.com/[/url] Or Colt. How about posting a link for J&T. I would like to see what they have. |
| have any of you encountered problems using say, bushmaster lower, oly parts, etc.? is compatiblity generally there for the large defense contract producers? what i want to avoid is buying a lower and parts not fitting, etc. i have no shop set up to deal with such. |

Okay, this is my plan of attack. I want a chrome lined barrel, so I am going with a BM 20" w/ A2 brake. I really like the RRA fit and finish so the rest of the rifle will be their parts. I already have an A2 buttstock and pistol grip I can use. I am hoping Steve at ADCO can cut me a deal on the lower reciever parts kit by crediting me the duplicate parts that come with the 2-stage trigger kit. I think I will end up with one sweet weapon when complete. A complete BM A3 with a 2-stage trigger and brake comes in at $1,260.90 or if I went with an all BM A3 kit 1,104.35, so I am saving major bucks doing it this way. I think I am getting the best available rifle for the money. Thanks for the input everyone.
