[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 3088706, member: 94491"] Don't bother with milspec triggers, dont bother with "composit/plastic" receivers, always use adjustable gas blocks, I've had good luck with flat facing the upper receiver barrel mount area, I've had bad luck with proprietary parts, I like muzzle brake shims over crush washers. Light parts cost more if they are advertised as "ultra-light" but if you search around you can find light weight parts for a bargain if they aren't being sold as "ultralight" parts. Ultralight builds are more finicky when adjusting gas. Different powers are sometimes ideal when reloading and trying to get gas pressures right. I like larger than milspec charge handles, binary triggers are fun. You can build a pistol that will fit in a backpack or saddlebag. Technically a pistol can be carried concealed with a permit- rifles may be different depending on your state permit, the atf can't make up their minds and like to "interpret" things different all the time. Lots of people fear black rifles, but camouflage guns seem to be perceived as "hunting" rifles . People are dumb. I could go on with more things I've learned but the most important one is that extra parts eventually grow into complete rifles !! [/QUOTE]
