Its been a long time since I sold off my last AR--five years (boy time flies). Been doing almost exclusively pistol shooting, some shottie as well. So I'm ready to get back to black. This time, however, I want to build her from the ground up, as opposed to deconstructing an existing rifle and doing some mods to it. I have some ideas in my head, and what I'm starting to picture just might look a little odd as it won't be a particularly purpose built rifle in that I'm not going for a tactical entry weapon, or a varmint hunter, or a three gun rifle, etc. This AR will be for plinking, pure fun shooting. No real purpose other than that. I'm going to be keeping the shooting distances short--only out to 200 yards tops. Will shoot some close in, but no less than 50. I'd like to ask for some suggestions on just about any AR part, from bolt carrier to stock to barrel to optics. Anything any AR fans think would be worthwhile to look into.
To start I could use suggestions on a lower, bolt release, trigger group, mag release. Any companies I should be checking out. I'd like an oversize bolt release perhaps (if I'm putting it in words right). Please, anyone kind enough to reply please feel free to comment on any other parts such as barrels, uppers, barrel length suggestions, do I go stainless 20" or what? etc. Thanks to all in advance for any info or suggestions
