[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1827147, member: 110896"] I'd look for one with a 1:8 Wylde chamber, which is a "target chamber" of sorts; chambers both 5.56mm NATO and SAAMI .223Rem. I cobble ARs together by my own hand. I have an 18" Wylde that will put five Hornady 75-grainers into a square less than the size of a square postage stamp at 100 yards with handloads. Get a 1005 Tactical trigger for it; a great two-stage trigger for less than $100. Get a Pic rail upper and a Pic rail forward sight base/gas block. Get a free-float forward tube; Model 1 Sales has good prices on them. Get an enlarged trigger guard; the OEM thing will irritate your trigger finger. Get a grip with three finger grooves on it; the issue grip is bullschiff from the get-go. I like to add little doo-dads to my lowers like the Strike Industries XBC bolt release, an enlarged magazine release, an ambidextrous safety selector, mushroom-head takedown pins, an Accu-wedge and a heavier buffer.
