Thread: Question on my first AR.

good idea

My plan, good or bad was to build based on aero precision upper/lower (price that works), elftmann 3gun trigger (never had an AR but spoilt with the triggers I have had on others) and the rest is up in the air..

cant go wrong with aero parts, may want to check that a elftman trigger has enoguh umph to set of a .22

I thought I would go with a 16" barrel so that is somewhat matched the .22lr upper that I wanted to use for practise.

hard to argue with 16" it take all overall lenth issues out of the list of thing to worry about

For my various research, this is where I am a little lost, the buffer and buffer tube... If I have a 16" it seems that mid length gas might be the way to go based on recoil.

Now, I know that rifle length and carbine length require different buffers and therefore different stocks. While putting together my wishlist I dont know if I am supposed to be looking at carbine or rifle stocks as I don't know if mid length gas fits in one or none of those configurations.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Pick the stock you like and then get either a rifle or carbine buffer tube depending on what the stock takes- you can get the corect buffer for any setup to go in either-mid leng gas doesnt really afect this at all,especilly if you fit and adjustable gas block.

Also, seems that aero uppers are hard to find in stock at the moment while lowers are in stock at a couple of places.

nzrac has the monlithic uppers in stock, not to bad price wise when your take into account the fact it includes the handguard

PS, this is all from the mind of a newbie so feel free to be harsh if ideas are very wrong

Thanks!

hope that helps
