SO I went ahead and purchased another stripped Spikes lower and a CMMG lower parts kit. I'm trying to decide what type of rifle to build.
I have already settled on 5.56mm as my chambering due to already having ammo, mags, and and another complete LMT M4 style weapon.
I would like to have a pretty decent 5-600m rifle.
I'm trying to decide between 18" and a 20" barrel. What are some good barrels and manufacturers and which length would be better? I'm familiar with the M16A4 and A2 however, I would like to squeeze a little more accuracy out of it then a standard M16. 1 MOA would be nice and and asthetically speaking, fluted barrels would be nice as well.
I'm also trying to decide between ported or threaded (for a muzzle device, not a suppressor)
Also I'm looking for a scope with a Horus type reticule pattern.
I have built several M4's recently, however, this is going to be my first precision rifle and since I'm spreading out the cost by purchasing parts and assembling myself over a period of time, cost will not be as much of a factor.
Also what are some good muzzle brakes? I have experience with the Effin A comp and the Troy Medevial muzzle brake and both have been pretty darn decent.
Thanks in advance for your input.
