If you could build one under $600 with an 18" barrel and decent trigger. Where would you look? I have examined PSA and think they are decent. Others?

I haven't used thier barrels, but I have used Anderson upper and lower receivers and think that they work well for the money. If you are patient and diligent, you can find good deals on good components.

I wouldn't worry about a 20 inch barrel , you will not gain that much velocity in 2 inches

today I would get this https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-5-56-nato-1-7-mid-length-nitride-13-5-lightweight-m-lok-moe-ept-acs-l-rifle-kit-w-nibr-bcg-flat-dark-earth-5165449482.html?trk_msg=26A7FMVUVUBKN4746HA0F3HA4S&trk_contact=A06J51OOFOLT0KCKBQFVKGHB7O&trk_sid=6BP177703DM550FHEGQ4LMN5MS&utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=https%3a%2f%2fpalmettostatearmory.com%2fpsa-16-5-56-nato-1-7-mid-length-nitride-13-5-lightweight-m-lok-moe-ept-acs-l-rifle-kit-w-nibr-bcg-flat-dark-earth-5165449482.html&utm_campaign=Daily+Deal+Email&utm_content=12%3a00+Email

it is a nitride barrel , free float has sights s you can shoot it as soon as you get it

changes I would make , a set of reduced power springs https://www.midwayusa.com/product/579878...b-reduced-power the kit already has the PSA enchaced trigger which is better than nothing but improves more with a set of springs


my choice for the day wilL depend on the deal that day

but they will all be free floated mid length gas system

it will generally be a Nitrited barrel but depending on the price I would go stainless , Mennonite or if really low cost just plane old chromoly steel and figure shoot it out and buy a better barrel later

1:9 1:8 1:7 unless you specifically plan to shoot heavy bullets all have shown the ability to shoot 55gr decently.

by the time you get a that kit and a PSA stripped lower and a set of springs and a transfer fee on the stripper lower your probably about 475 - 490

I like the Nikon p-series mounts with a 2-7x32 Vortex or Nikon set the scope forward enough that the tip of your nose just barely touches the charging handle right in the middle of the scopes eye relief range.

as you change positions from seated , standing , prone so that when you pick your head up turkey neck it forward and drop your cheek on the stock your nose tip is right up to the charging handle

Bushmaster upper from gunbroker and EPT (Polished Trigger) lower from PSA on sale with the Magpul stock and grip!


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

yes you give somehting up on a 18 vs 16 inch barrel but really not much less than 100 fps on most ammo if budget is a concern there are a lot more 16 inch options available than 18.


a velocity chart to compare this unlike many was done on an AR
http://www.gunsandammo.com/files/2017/10/velocity-table.gif

if you want a 18 this is an option right now https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-18-r...5165447683.html

Take a look at the Green Mountain GM-M18 stainless, fluted, 18" barrel. I lucked out and got one on sale for $170. Great barrel and great reviews.
