sup bros!
so here is a thing, I have factory made Colt AR-15, 16", 1:7, .223
Ideally, I wanna build another AR-15 with 6.5G, including making my own lower from 80% slab, however; right now, in order to facilitate the process, I am planning to just build the upper and connect it with the lower of my existing rifle described above.
I am myself a reloader too, right now I am reloading my own .223
So here are my qestions:
1) I already purchased low cost but US made 20" 1:8 6.5G Type 2 barrel from Classic Firearms for $95. So, I got the barrel already. Now, given the barrel I bought, should I change the spring and buffer tube from my factory lower from above described rifle (AR-15 Colt 1:7, 16")? Because my current rifle is mid-length, but my 20" 6.5G barrel is rifle length, so if I do need to change buffer tube and spring, can you point me to a proper product (and cheaper too) ?
2) I saw some cheap chinese low profile gas blocks, is it a good idea to purchase those? Or do I need a better low profile gas block since this part is kinda critical? or it is not *that* critical? if you can recommend (again as cheap as possible) low profile gas block just let me know?
3) same question about gas tube, any recommendation for cheap gas tube?
4) and of course I'd like to get some recommendation for a proper upper for this build, again a cheap one, as long as it is made I guess from 7075 aluminium, right?
5) Need recommendation to proper 15" foregrip too if you can? I do want exactly 15" not less, keymod or m-lock? Also I need it to be cheap, cuz I last time paid like $200 for my foregrip its ridiculous, I do not need it to be cheap, I guess this part is not as critical as other moving parts so as long as it is made of proper alloy it should be good, correct me if I am wrong?
6) BCG recommendation. I am planning to shoot a lot of "hot" loads from this rifle, so on this part i'd not be that cheap, but dont wanna go crazy either.
That is it I guess, let me know if I miss anything from 2 to 6? Do I need to buy anything else to get started with lower of my existing rifle?
and also, what about this scope:
