So now i got an essential arms lower. So i have to build it. We have been doing some distance shooting so this will be my winter project. First step a RRA 2stage lower kit.
I think I am going to build this into a 20 in varmit. thoughts?
I've mulled over the thought of building or buying a 20" or 24" AR with some decent glass, bipod, foregrip, ceramic or moly coated barrel, competition trigger and possibly a gas piston setup. If you're going just for headshots 5.56 should be more than effective enough within 500 yards. Quick acquisition, high rate of fire, reasonably accurate, 30 round mags, relatively cheap ammo, it can be used as an assault rifle if need be, and if your crew operates with AR's you can swap mags.
The downside? Cost. It's not going to be as cheap as a standard build, and you could easily run past $1500.
IMHO, it's totally worth the cost. IF you can afford to do it, that is.
