    Del ton is like 375 with forward assist and dust cover. They do take a while to ship tho I'm on my 7th week of waiting so far

    Cheap
    Lightweight
    Reliable.


    Pick two.


    What is the purpose of this build? What do you plan on doing with this rifle?
    What is its purpose?


    I would not even be thinking of twist rates. Your 1:7 is just fine.

    Primarily fending off the zombies, I've been thinking 1:9 twist with 20 inch brl, because most cheap ammo is 55gr.
