I don't know why, but I'm thinking of assembling an AR. I'm leaning towards a Gibbz side charge upper. It will definitely be a side charger of some make...perhaps my own if I feel ambitious. I like the the clean lines...no forward assist or protruding case deflector. It would be free floated and I'm contemplating 300 Blackout with a 16" barrel. A muzzle device is optional...maybe just a thread protector for starters. Maybe an optic like an Aimpoint PRO, maybe just irons or both. It will also definitely have a JP Silent Captured Spring recoil/buffer assembly. I hate the cheese grater sound of the standard AR spring.
My thoughts are; clean lines, light weight...simple.
Purpose (because someone will ask); Because I need another project so I have an even 20 going on at the same time...and I just want to.
I'm shopping for parts. I can get an 80% lower for free and I have some random AR bits lying around. I also have a block of aluminum, some 4130, a Bridgeport, Rockwell lathe, a couple of welders and I'm close to having my cnc mill rebuilt. I also have just enough ability to be dangerous.
Thoughts on barrels? Rainier?
