Ar15 Build Questions.

OK, new project and I need some advise.

I am going to build a 300 whisper on an Ar15 platform. I am sick of carrying a levergun around on our hog doggin trips. Then when I get there they just blast my ears.

The rifle is a DPMS it will be a 16" barrel and will be suppressed.

Should I build it myself other than having the barrel threaded or the quick release for the suppressor? It seems that all the parts and even barrels are easily obtainable.

Should I buy an upper like the Olympic Arms or something similar? Would it shoot decent?

Should I send it to a smith and let them deal with it (slow way and I am a right now sort of person)

Should I let SSK industries do it because they came up with it to start with?

Now, the vast majority of my shots with this rifle will be point blank range. I am a little concerned with bullet performance on a hogs head at point blank range. Velocity will be in the 1000FPS range at impact. I am mostly concerned about riccochets and hitting the dogs.

Also, even though the majority of the shots will be at point blank, I hate to limit myself to that. I might occassional shoot an exotic or something else.

I will most likley be using the 220 or 240 SMK. Any thoughts on this bullets performance under 1000 FPS?

Thanks for the advise!
