Gas Block Position

[GOST]

Yes FT I mean recoil. If you ever mess with a 3 gun setup with an adjustable gas block and a LW carrier that's been tuned you'll we what I'm talking about. It's not a home defense setup but these hardly move, which is nice when trying to minimize your splits. I personally am not into LW builds, I usually use a government profile barrel.

PS you're starting to sound like my 70 year old dad about recoil. Nobody said that 5.56 has a lot of recoil, but on gaming setups your trying to get every advantage possible. Even though I personally don't compete I have played around with my buddy's 3 gun rifle and I was impressed.

That BCM upper sure is nice. I can't come anywhere near to affording it though. My build process is the "payday" method. Each payday I put a little aside until I've got enough for the next part. I really do appreciate your help though.

I'm most likely going with this BCM barrel: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-1...16lw%20std.htm

I'll talk to the wife about handguard selections and see what she prefers.

I've used that barrel on a build and it's very nice. For the price and quality you may also want to consider this barrel.

I certainly will. I've never heard of Sionics, but with your recommendation, I'll absolutely give it some serious thought. The concentration of knowledge and willingness to help here makes this place invaluable.

I own 2 of those barrels, picked them up when they were an absolute steal at $159. I think these are one of the best barrels available in the sub $200 market. That title used to belong to the Rainier Arms Select Barrels, but they have since gone up in price.

What other components are you planning on purchasing? I know you said you were a paycheck parts buyer... well then again aren't we all?

ALG Defense QMS trigger w/an adjuster.
The wife likes the Hogue overmolded grip w/o the beavertail
Perhaps a ALG single chamber brake (light and helps w/recoil)
MFT Minimalist Stock (very light)
Upper and lower from PSA
Basic LPK
Troy Alpha handguard
Magpul MBUS sights (not pro)
Edit: PSA Premium BCG

Can't think of what else at the moment. I'm absolutely open to suggested alternatives in the lower cost range.

Edit: I'll have to get advice on buffer and spring weight.

If I were in the market for a 16" general-use piece right now, this Sionics barrel would be the one I would choose. Only 22 oz with my preferred gas system, twist rate and finish all in one place. Added bonus: pre-dimpled (a very good thing for a melonite-finished piece) and offered at a very palatable price. I suspect that in a few months, a lot of people will regret not having picked up at least one of these.

Instead of the Alpha, any considerations for the ALG EMR Rail?

Sounds like you're on the right track so far.

Thanks a bunch for the kind words. Since your post above I added a PSA Premium BCG. I'm leaving soon to go on duty so I'll have to check on that ALG rail once I get back home.

We have a winner. That's exactly what I was looking for. Simple, customizable, and light.

Knew i should of grabbed one of those sionics barrel when they were $159, but still a decent deal at $189

OP, rest of your build sounds allright, and of course people like other things , but i have the troy alpha rail (first build) and i find its a frickin cheese grater on the bare hands, good thing this rifle sits on the bench or in prone all the time (18") spr'ish setup

...i find its a frickin cheese grater on the bare hands...

That's good to know. I'm looking for all input on what people like and don't like and the whys behind it. Thanks.

If you were still think of a Troy ... this might be a deal for you:
