Ultimate (yet reasonable) AR build ideas

[mcantar18c]

So, I got tentative permission from the wife to take some deployment funds and get myself a welcome home gift. It's a ways off, but I'd like to start sourcing parts sooner rather than later.

I recently discovered the MGI Marck 15, aka the Hydra... That currently holds the #1 spot on the list, I really like the idea of a true multi-cal platform. I'm also toying with the idea of an SBR build with a LM8 upper and an Arsenal Democracy Reaper 33 lower.

What say you, COAR?

Or you can go with an up and comer and CO business in Double-D armory. I've got about 1000rds through one of Jays rifles and it shoots pretty good..

Failing that, I'd tell you to go with a proven performer. Colt, BCM, LMT could all give you a solid rifle and you'd have enough left over to buy an optic compared to what those Reaper 33 cost.

You worked hard for that money. I wouldn't lightly spend it on some flash in the pan gimmick. But it's your money.

Do you like competing? Might look into getting a nice 18" upper, slap an adjustable gas block and compensator, then get whatever lower (I like Mick-Boy's DD-Armory idea) and put a Giessele trigger in there (I have the super 3 gun trigger, it's expensive but amazing IMO). The hardest part will be finding an 18" in stock. Basically, build a 3-Gun rifle!

What's your budget? What style of rifle do you want?

MGI has been out, close to 10 years. Unfortunately their presence in the AR world isn't as big as one would think. I have one of the first gen uppers, wasn't too bad. BUT, i prefer a platform specific upper, less shit laying around.

Mick-Boys advice is pretty solid. If you want something more custom, we build top of the line uppers in a variety of calibers and have lots of parts in stock. If you shop around, I think you will find we can build you what you want for less money than you can even get the parts for. I won't build anything where the parts are incompatible or unreliable.
