??? For all you Black Rifle builders

[wxl]

I may be oddball but I do not put much emphasis on the lower as I do the upper (really the barrel). Really good uppers run 3 to 5 times the cost of a decent lower.

The lower needs to meet basic standards and A GOOD TRIGGER (contributes a lot to consistency of POI). Most 5.56 barrels are fairly decent in accuracy (around 1 MOA) and fine for most shooting unless you are into competition. Type of stock depends on personal preference/function, I am fine with A2 stocks.

Right now I am getting involved with the 6.8 in the AR15 format, getting ready to change from a 16" YHM barrel to an 18" Bison in hopes (?) of more velocity and accuracy for a hunting rifle. The 16" gets about 1 to 1.2 MOA and hope the Bison will be less than 1" (the Bison has a slower twist rate).

Already have 2 in 5.56, 1 in 6.8 and an AR10 in 308.
