Ar 15

[actionshooter]

There is a lot of debate about Wylde and NATO chambers, I personally haven't messed with it much. They both can be extremely accurate and basically you can feed all ammo through both. The guys that really debate this are the benchresters. I wouldn't spend the extra money for a Wylde chamber if it cost more. For some reason the Wylde reamers cost more.
 Sorry I couldn't be much help on this one.
 In an earlier post washington arms collectors was mentioned and you are on the east side, Spokane has a monthly show also but I have never been there.

I just got a stripped lower from SNS in snohomish, They cnc there own stuff and the quality looks top notch, I also have built a few AR's and this lower looks as good as any I have built,, and for the price of 120$ out the door you cant beat it,,Just my 2 cents-Toby

I would consider building an AR if I had time and experience, but I have neither.
If I did build one, I'd spend the $ on a RockRiver 2 stage trigger or White Oak.
I would have a medium contour phosphated barrel with flattop gas block in a 18 or 20 inch length with a 1X8 twist, as I think heavy bullets buck wind better at the 300yd range you mentioned.
The heavier varmint barrels tend to make the thing nose heavy and seems too much for a field gun.
I would not mess around with a collapsible stock or the accessory forearms...just a freefloat tube.
The Wylde chamber does seem to have benefits as you are not limited to one type of ammo.
Personally, I have not seen really tight groups from 5.56 but for those that have to have the hottest......
All in all, I would buy a Rock River Predator Pursuit or Coyote and call it good.
I have a Rock River Varmint in 18" 1X8 and with 77 grain Matchkings, it is boring.
PM me...I need an excuse to come to Eastern WA and shoot.

any ar-15 if you know how to shoot it wll shoot consistantly at 250-300-yrds if you know how, if you can do it with an old beat up boot camp rifle open site then its not to hard to figure it out i got an oly arms and i shoot crows off my front porch at 100 yrds no prob

Have you guys seen the new lower from SNS?

I would look toward Dedicated technologies, Mike makes some very nice stuff. Olympic makes some great AR's for the money, there rifles are very accurate. Its hard to go wrong with any one the brands though. It is kind of hard to find one for a good price right now.



I would stay away from the wylde chamber unless you plan on single loading 90+gr bullets.

what would it cost to build one on the cheap side?

[Coasthunterjay]

700-800bucks on the very cheep side....
