Leaning towards a 1:9, most likely chrome.

I usually go with a 1:7 twist. It helps stabilized the heavier grain bullets that you use for self-defense (Hornady TAP) 1:9 is good as well.

Adam, use my e-mail address: elderboy02 at ar15 dot com to register. Once I get the password, I will e-mail it to you and you can change your account.

The mods on AR15 said you can use a friend's email to do this.

Thanks for the email. I have it copied if you want to take it down for privacy's sake.

This gun will not likely ever see self-defense duty, except for a SHTF situation. Due to the proximity of other houses, I stay with a 12 ga for general defense work.

EDIT: All signed up...thanks again!

just my 2cents building an AR is not the best Idea for someone who doesn't know the weapon very well.

elderboy02 · 02-28-2009, 05:44 PM

I would go with the 2H. I like 16" rifles and the flat top. It is all up to you though if you want a 16" or 20"

Bullocks.

All he's doing is putting in the lower parts kit, it's not rocket science and there are plenty of instructions available. I've put together about seven of them and I didn't know how to do it for my first one. Yet they all work great.

Man, things are crazy out here. A buddy went to the gun show today and the cheapest AR he saw was $1,700. Damn, I just sold two for $750 each. I suck.
