I'm thinking my 16" mid length carbine upper that came with my RR in 5.56 will probably be on it if the SHTF and I had nothing but NATO ammo for the zombies...
What barrel (make and type and twist) do you recommend...and with that tube am I limited to 20" or more or would an 18" fit the bill?
I'm seeing varmint barrels in either .223 or Wylde ranging from about $250 to $500...
Shilen has a decent SS bull in Wylde with a matched bolt 20" they claim is headspaced and "drop in" that I can get from Brownells with my discount for like $420...and I know a lot of bench resters like Shilen....
I figure with the DPMS stripped flattop upper without the forward assist or dust cover for $89 I would pretty much have a DPMS custom upper for maybe $550 plus my time, right?
Just waiting for a bipod and maybe a Nikon Nikoplex AR scope...
