[QUOTE="Memberberries, post: 1776179, member: 106647"] For an 80% build I prefer a drop in trigger such as the triggertech or if you want to use a trigger like the larue mbt(my favorite ar trigger I own) make sure to get some anti-rotation pins like the kns or something. This is because most people done anodized the holes after they drill them on an 80%. Faxon and Ballistic advantage make some great ar15 barrels but if you're willing to spend a bit more I would get a shilen, blackhole, or something on that level. Having the barrel manufacturer provide a headspaced bolt is worth it for tight groups. As for bolt carriers I like lightweight carriers that have forward assist grooves like the ones from brownells. All the coating options are nice and help a gun clean easier but that's about it for the round count a precision rifle will see. You definitely want an adjustable gas block and depending on caliber I prefer longer gas tubes whenever possible. My 18" barrels have rifle gas, 16" have mid. My best shooting ar is a 6.8 spc ii with a 20" blackhole weaponry barrel, polygonal rifled, lapped, ss, heaviest profile they made. I've got a rock river 2 stage varmint trigger and an aim lightweight bolt carrier in it with no complaints except for the lack of forward assist on the bolt carrier. Handguards are where people tend to add a bunch of bling but I just prefer light and slim Handguards. Hera arms makes some good ones that are featherweight to help balance out a rifle with a heavy barrel. A good fixed stock is also helpful to balance a gun. Light is cool but balanced and half a pound heavier is worth it to me. Just make sure you don't double down with all the heavy parts in the same spot and light on the other end, the first time you pick the gun up you will know if you got it right. [/QUOTE]
