i am not getting any 16 inch barrel, i would like a accurate 18 inch. And i missed out on the deal for the larue for 200 dollars off, slept on the deal and when i got up the guy emailed me and said it sold late lastnight. snooze ya lose right. I am just going to keep my eyes open for deals.

 

[06MegaCTD]

alright so i can piece everything together price wise, need to know what all exactly i will need to build my own upper, and what type of gas block to use say on a woa barrel. I think i would just go with a bcm upper receiver, the woa barrel with matched bolt, young or bcm carrier. I know i will need the gas tube but what other parts are needed, say to attach the barrel to the receiver and such.

I would use a lo-pro gas block and get a tube to fit over it. A Free Float tube will most likely come with a barrel nut. Muzzle brake and washer. Gas tube pin. Cam pin, Firing pin and retainer - if they don't come with the bolt or carrier. Port door, pin, spring and clip. Forward assist assembly and pin. Charging handle.

Tools. Proper tools.

i know about the low pro gas block cause i was getting at least a 12 inch rail, but i see there is so many different types and heard the pin on ones are the best, but which ones do you guys recommend, the upper receiver i am looking at comes with the door, pin, spring and forwards assist, just needs the charging handle which i already have.

Unless you have the drills and reamers to do the job properly then I would go with a clamp-on vs set-screwed.

I like the Daniel Defence on Larue low pro gas blocks. Your handguard will come with the barrel nut assembly. The WOA SPR barrel will take a .750 gas block. Other than that you need a charging handle and whatever muzzle break or flash hider you choose.

I got a Vltor low profile block for mine. Personal preference

 

[06MegaCTD]

for the matched bolt that comes with the barrel for 50 bucks, is that a good idea to get that and just say buy the carrier from bcm or somewhere else. Does that bolt come assembled and everything. And rifle or middy gas length

 

[Russ D]

The matched bolt is mated to the barrel for optimum headspace and accuracy. That's why you whant one from the barrel maker.

 

[06MegaCTD]

yeah this is going to be a bit cheaper than if i went with a larue upper, i priced out everything at about 900 right now

 

[Russ D]

WHo are you ordering from?

 

[06MegaCTD]

i am getting the barrel directly from WOA since its cheaper, the receiver, bolt carrier, gas block, gas tube i am getting from BCM, and my rail, and flash suppressor i am getting from Rainer arms

 

[Russ D]

Top quality stuff. Should be really nice. Which suppressor?

 

[06MegaCTD]

[06MegaCTD]

or i might just cheap out and get the 8 dollar A2 from BCM lol

 

[Russ D]

Haven't read any reviews on that one but it looks bad ass. Are you gettting the stainless SPR barrel?

 

[06MegaCTD]

yes the stainless one, was gonna ask you tomorrow but should i get a mid-length or rifle length gas system

 

[Russ D]

This is the gold standard for Comps. PWS FSC556

I like mid-gas cuz it has the best pressure curve and you can hide it with a rifle length rail. Also if you like the look of a stainless muzzle device there is a stainless Vortex available that looks cool, but it's not a comp its a flash hider.

 

[06MegaCTD]

yeah i really like that one alot, thats what i wanted for my bushy too. Just 100 bucks is alot, but yeah its only 25 more than the current one i am looking at
