Sorry for the long first post. I am building a complete rifle for my son (9yr old) and an upper for me. I have built several ARs in the past all have been 5.56 rifles.
The first one for the kid will be mainly for hunting deer and coyotes and some 600yds league shooting. I ordered a Black Hole Weaponry 20in, 264lbc, barrel and the lady on the phone said they will do either chamber, type 1 (.125) or type 2 (.135) but they recommend type 1. The company next door sells the bolts and they will walk one over to the BHW shop and it will be head spaced and shipped together. That sounded good so I ordered both. I selected a 1-9twist, light weight profile, rifle length gas system, with 5/8x 24 threads. I am using a Bushmaster lower, Aero Precision upper, Giessele Trigger, and Magpul furniture.
My upper will be a 24in barrel and if the BHW barrel shoots well I will probably order another from them. I will use an Aero Precision upper as they have been good on my other builds.
What are some suggestions for a flash hider? Should I use a heavy buffer? I will think of other questions I am sure.
