[QUOTE="GBA1776, post: 953476, member: 20522"] For "building" a rifle by putting together a lower and buying a complete upper you really cant go wrong with any of the big names if you get NM or even just match grade barrels they will give you acceptable AR-15 Accuracy meaning Sub 2 moa, and you will most likely get better especially with handloads. Ive got a Rock River 18" heavy profile match barrel on a bushmaster patrolmans carbine lower that shoots Mk262 mod 1 ammo and "equivalents" at .75" @100 yds on the best day to 1.25" @100yds on my bad days. so its about a 1moa rifle with most match grade ammo. my best ever group was .64" with Black hills "red box" 5.56 77gr OTM. But its absolutely an averaged 1moa gun it does that with the 69gr SMK as well and seems to be only capable of just over 1moa with the hornady 75gr match ammo and I cant get it to group better than 1.5" with that "Superformance" stuff. Standard Ball ammo in either 62 grain of 55gr produces standard AR 2.25-2.5" groups Never tried any handloads or any light Varmiter match grade ammo for it so I dont know what it could group doing that. I would be very hesistant to buy a stripped upper and putting a barrel and bolt on it myself, unless you're buy them together as a paired set, you could easily end up with rifle that shoots no better than a standard mass produced rack gun. because it has tolerances like a mass produced gun. If I were to buy an AR/variant rifle off the rack looking for absolute accuracy in either 5.56 or .308 it would be the Larue OBR, I know there are plenty of other companies (Noveske, LMT ect) that make great accurate AR rifles but Larue is where I would put my two cents. And from what ive seen the Larue may even save you a few cents over some of the others. [/QUOTE]
