Super stoked.
Putting my AR together myself has been very fun, and I think we're definitely going to enjoy it once it's complete
Ended up picking this one:
http://palmettostatearmory.com/inde...mmer-forged-midlength-light-weight-upper.html
Honestly, I couldn't find a better deal in my price range that was packed with as many features as this one has:
16" A2 lightweight profile hammer-forged barrel
Forged 7075-T6 A3 upper receiver
Machine Gun Steel (4140? 4150? honestly, I probably couldn't tell the difference)
5.56 Nato Chamber
1 in 7" twist (good for heavier bullets, which I preferred since I might eventually hunt with this rig)
Double-thick Chrome-lined bore and chamber
M4 feedramps
T-marks
"F" stamped front sight block
Standard A2 flashhider
Full auto bolt carrier, Carpenter 158/MPI Bolt
Just to be clear, too, I added the BCG, the standard M16 charging handle, and FDE MOE handguards to my purchase. I've got all MOE stuff on my lower, and I love it. Looking to keep this carbine as light and fast handling as possible.
Now I've got to figure out which Iron sight I want in the back. I really Like Daniel Defense's, but I'm open to suggestions on that.
