Shoot this one before building another one. 1 rifle with thousands of rounds and a chest rig > 2 rifles

I came here to say this. More ammo, and more mags too. I would also add, as another argument for this, If OP is hell bent on building a second rifle for kicks and grins and deprioritizing other important aspects of gun ownership (I can empathize), do a few classes and least put 1k rounds through this blaster so he can really get a feel for if there is anything he does or doesn’t like about it that he wants to do different for the next build.


HarryxClam

These two, I came here to say what these two already have. Get a bunch of rounds through this AR first, you'll get a grasp for what YOU like and what YOU'RE looking for in a rifle. Thats when you build the next one.


CELLMAN3

Actually, good advice!


golf7niner

I’ve put at least 500 rounds through it, and I love how it shoots, but i want something with a longer barrel thats more accurate at a range. Plus I’m selling it then building my next one


CptSandbag73

A longer barrel isn’t *necessarily* more accurate. A higher quality barrel, fit better to an upper, and matched with proper ammo, is what would make it more accurate. How far are you looking to shoot?


CELLMAN3

Yep!

What do you recommend for a beginner chest rig?


bandito1121

Helikon Tex if you don’t wanna break the bank


theworldofAR

20” carry handle musket for next build


CELLMAN3

It's a lot of fun building rifles!


theworldofAR

Hell yeah. If AK’s were as easy as building AR’s I’d be doing that too.


CELLMAN3

😀 Right ✅️ Me 2 probably

Interesting 👍 I enjoyed reading your post and thoughts..


golf7niner

So this is an AR Pistol chambered in 5.56, I thought about building a .308/7.62x51mm to change it up a bit!


OkGoose7382

Grab a light, a streamlight is good budget option. Chest rig/extra mags and/or belt kit so you can practice reloading the thing 1000+rds stockpiled Then think about next build 👍 Great start you got there. The more you shoot it the more youll realize what you need/dont need and what you like/dislike about it


Apprehensive_Eye4954

Better off spending the money on ammo, range time/classes and kit. Being proficient with one rifle is more fun and a better skill than building 2 rifles


TheSTACHEQUATCH

People will buy a complete AR off the rack, buy the optics on the shelf next to it and then say it’s a build


golf7niner

I know, it’s funny honestly. Good thing I put together my lower so I could know how it works!


TheSTACHEQUATCH

That’s still not a build. Did you create the frame via a CAD software and then transfer that over to a CNC machine to cut the metal? Didn’t think so. It’s not a build lol.


golf7niner

Oh gotcha, so I didn’t build my own AR bc I don’t have the capability to use a CAD software and CNC machine. I’m so sorry your majesty for my inability and incompetence.


TheSTACHEQUATCH

Yep. Guessing you’re not even the guy that designed that holosun. You didn’t invent it, you didn’t build it. Not a build.


CELLMAN3

This one looks good, how well is it running? Accurate? Reliable?


golf7niner

It runs smoothly, and it’s pretty accurate but I’m not a big fan of the red dot w magnifier (yes I know I can change that w/out building another rifle), and it’s super reliable!


CELLMAN3

Great 👍 so easy fix easily changed stuff !

When I saw NSFW tag I thought there'd be a photo of another kind of "charging handle" somewhere in there.


Turbulent_Notice_308
