4.6 general chat
I dont like how....
http://palmettostatearmory.com/9019.php is only $700.
But if I want to build the kit http://palmettostatearmory.com/2520.php with the same style scope it would cost me $770. The already assembled
rifle also seems to have a
better system with M4 cuts in
the upper and M4 feedramps.
Its like I get a better deal by
buying it assembled

compared to a 1:7 or 1:9?
The 1 in 7, I also noticed the specs one the set up your looking at comes with a chromed line barrel and the full auto bolt carrier. Unless you are a competition shooter you will never wear that barrel out and will make cleaning a breeze. The full auto bolt carrier is exactly what you want. I waited for quite awhile for that bolt group to become available at BCM, (Bravo Company Manufacturing). As far as receivers go there only a few company's that are authorized to make them. Check out CMT (Connetitcut Machine and Tool) and LMT (Lewis Machine and Tool). They both supply all the major brands. Hope this helps.
I'm sure Sexynerd can provide more insight as well. Keep me updated on what you get. Good luck, you will love it!!

Also, the kit and the assembled rifle both have "Forged 7075-T6 A3", yet the descriptions are slightly different so I am not sure if they are identical or what. It really pisses me off that the already assembled rifle seems to be a better deal. You would think I would save money or at least break even by building it myself.
I found this to explain the twist rates.
The common twist rate in civilian Ar-15 is 1/9 twist which is a good compromise. You can shoot 50gr-69gr bullets. To shoot the heavier 75, 77, 80-or 90s which are popular in long range competitions you need a 1/7 or 1/8 twist. Now if you are going to use this rifle for varminting then you want to to have a slower 1/12 or 1/14 twist to stabilize the lighter 39-55 grain bullets. If you are going to be punching paper at moderate ranges then a 1/9 is fine but if you want to use the heavier bullets than a 1/8 is needed. Most bull barrels for the AR come in 1/12, 1/9 or 1/8 rates.
