The scarcity of complete uppers coupled with my need to meet NY's AWB, has me thinking of building my next upper from the barrel up. Looking at either a 14.5' or 16' barrel, how would you rate the different barrels out there?
Build Info: I'd like to put together a rifle to be used at 10-300 yards for 'tactical' engagements. This would be used as a go-to rifle for SD and in carbine classes; not for precision shooting competitions. Other furniture would likely include a DD Lite rail, VFG, light (no tape switches), fiip down sights, and (most likely) an ACOG. This upper will sit on a LMT lower...a very lonely and naked LMT lower right now.
I've heard names like Kreiger, Compass Lake, Denny's Operator, White Oaks, Noveske, etc. Let's hear how they stack up against one another!
