Need help from some AR15 pros.

[Ritchie]

I'd like to build up an AR15, but I'm lost in the world of "options"
There's pictures without descriptions, and descriptions without pictures but I cant seem to put the two together.

I've trawled the net and found some nice looking stuff, but I dont know if it all fits.

So, HELP!

Barrel, "standard length" whatever that is. Must be able to fit a bayo on it, so the sight/gas block cant be set back too much.

Detachable carry handle/rear sight. So that's going to affect the type of upper?

What kind of lower is best for Quality/price?

Standard adjustable rear stock.

Sling is a must.

Handrail, easy on the pitcanny(sp?) rails, I dont want it to look like a cactus, but I'd like to add a light.

Any good links to read, I've been to Ar15 dot com and sog armoury.

This stuff's expensive so I'd like to get it right first time!

any help is greatly appreciated

So your looking at a 20 inch or a 14.5 inch

Detachable carry handle/rear sight. So that's going to affect the type of upper?

yes you want a flattop or A3 upper not a A1 or a A2

What kind of lower is best for Quality/price?

for now your best bet is a stag or a rockriver see the sposor banner at the top of the page

Standard adjustable rear stock.

so that means you want a M4 clone more then likely so get a 14.5 inch

Sling is a must.

buy what you want there are also many tutorial on how to build one

Handrail, easy on the pitcanny(sp?) rails, I dont want it to look like a cactus, but I'd like to add a light

.


lots of choise depending on barrel size i would do LARUE or DanielDefence

Any good links to read, I've been to Ar15 dot com and sog armoury

Not really. my 16" is fitted with a true midlength gas system, and I use my bayonet to stand it up in the locker - too short for the barrel to hit the racks!

Just get full length 1913 rails, and put rail ladders over the spots you are not using. I have a Daniel Defence 9.0 FF forend with knights panels and it is entirely comfortable to shoot, even more now that I put a vertical grip on it. besides, the front sight base style rails look ghey.
