Ready to build my upper. HELP

[SwampF0X]

I'm ready to build my 300 whatever upper. I've been reading and looking for parts and it's just about to drive me crazy. So many companies. Please help me build an affordable, accurate upper. I want a midweight 16" MOA or better barrel. I want a simple freefloat tube, and a flat top upper receiver. I may SBR this later on and I plan on getting a can. It will mostly be used for subsonic deer hunting. I'll be shooting 220-250gr SMKs. I already have the bolt and carrier from my Oly Arms K16.

I don't have any AR specific tools. Please help me put together a list of all the parts I should purchase and where to purchase them. OR, if you know of a quality, accurate preassembled upper for less money please let me know.

thanks,

If you might be doing the SBR route down the road go with a pistol length gas system.

I like PRI carbon fiber tubes but the are not cheap. Very high quality though.

For a barrel, get in touch with Spook. He can hook you up and the gunsmithing will be top notch.

I too will vouch for Spook. I love my barrel and it is the same blank that Noveske uses for much less $$$. Peter also helped me with questions on gas blocks, handguards and more. Buy with confidence from Spook and Hoser's brass is awesome too!

I PMd Spook. Maybe he will put my upper together for me at a decent price.................I hope.

I was going to assemble it myself but I hate to buy the tools just to use them once.

Spook does some of the best work around on the 300wtf ever, i have had 6 rifles and uppers built by him, all flawless. He is a great guy to deal with and is reasonable priced also.

Has he built you a similar upper to what I want to build? What kind of groups can you get?

thanks,

The only thing Hoser left out which you should know is to get your brass from him. I know he refrained because he is modest, but I will add that. Let Spook build it, and it will run. Have Hoser help you feed it, and all will be well.
