[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 1312856, member: 26430"] Things to take from this are if you want accuracy form one, find HIGH QUALITY MATCH ammo it likes if you don't reload, after you install a good high quality stiff barrel, keep the gas system rifle length, use an adjustable gas block to meter the amount of gas going through the gun, get the ergonomics down to where the gun fits you not the other way around, if you are building from the ground up with a billet receiver try and find an upper receiver that has very little slop in the BCG raceway and that the barrel socket fits the barrel shank very well without the barrel nut installed, keep it clean and well lubricated and use a bolt carrier that has a smooth finish. I believe a reasonable accuracy expectation from a rifle using a run of the mill forged milspec upper and lower receiver with top of the line parts installed will be anywhere from .5-.75" with quality ammo depending on shooter and weather conditions. With a super high quality billet upper like mine which is a much, much tighter fit in every area and is thicker and stronger where it really counts, accuracy could be in the .2-.3" range possibly better. If you are new to AR's and are reading this and have an interest in buying one or building one from the ground up, I hope all this helps, the good news is that you can do it little by little at a time, which I'm sure most people probably do in some form or another and you'll still have a gun to practice your fundamentals along the way, and yes, AR/s really are like Legos for grownups for the most part. I will put together a price list for everything I have done to the rifle from the time I purchased it to what it is now along with photos showing groups as well as how it the guns looks changed along the way later on tonight.
