So, I've decided that with my finances in the right place and with me being completely ready to go for it, I want to get an AR-15 upper set up in an A2 configuration. Now, I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what I am doing. I will read the build information thread, but I would like some input of what to look for to buy, what tools I will need, and tips to tune the set-up for optimal performance.
As for price range, I'm not looking for the most amazing zero-effort tac driver at premium auction house pricing. I'm looking for something that has the look, can be tuned to perform, and is reliable as long as it is properly maintained. A surplus upper is acceptable. I also want at least a 20" barrel with a 1-7" twist rate, HBAR (because laws).
So, what can the brain trust here at MDS recommend to me so I can embark upon my quarantine project?
