[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2390739, member: 91783"] I've been putting some parts together to build an AR 15 in 223 Wylde . I started with a 20" 1:9 twist stainless steel barrel . I plan on running some heaver then 55 grain bullets . Got an Anderson lower and upper receiver set . The upper is a sporter smooth side as I don't need a forward assist , I saw too many people get excited and pound the heck out of the forward assist and really jamb things up . I took the upper receiver and made sure the barrel extension was true to the bore for the bolt carrier group . I built a lap for that so I put it into the receiver and lap the front of the barrel extension to make it true with the bolt carrier group bore . I bought an Adams Arms piston drive kit for a rifle length barrel in 223 that has an adjustable gas block . I modified a hand guard that I had so that it will fit the piston drive system and still be free floating . I needed to do some machine work on the barrel nut so that it has a notch for the drive rod and be the correct length so the rod engages the one piece bolt carrier group with the correct .015 clearance . I will be getting a drop in trigger group set in the 3.5 pound range most likely a raise armament curved trigger instead of the straight trigger as that is what feels comfortable to me . In the future I will make it into a side charging nonreciprocating upper receiver by doing some machine work on the receiver and building an adapted charging handle and bolt rotating pin for the bolt carrier group . I like the AR platform better then the AK platform but the AK just keeps on running . It is cooler running as well as cleaner then the gas impingement system but the tolerance's aren't nearly as tight . It keeps me busy and out of the wind and cold . In the last couple of months we have had a lot of windy days as well as nights some gusts up to 110 mph . I hope all have had a good Christmas and that every one has a good healthy New Year .
