I'm wanting to build an SBR and I have a couple quick questions before I start shopping!
1st, should I look at a barrel/matching bolt setup? The build will be in 223 and I'm going to use my existing rifle which is chambered in 223, but with a 16" barrel. I know when I did my grendel build I bought a matching setup from sabre and I reckon that I should do the same this time, but I'm limited in AR build experience!
2nd, what else should I look at for this build? I'm only thinking of what I'll need to do an SBR barrel change. I know I have to get my stamp, but anything else? I'm figuring that since its already a complete rifle, I should be alright. I'm also planning on getting a new free float rail setup, so barrel nut should be covered too.
3rd, should I simply build a new upper instead? I would/could then build a new lower for a complete other rifle, since the lower would then be dedicated to the short upper from what I understand from reading about the stamp and such. Any other advice would be appreciated as well.
Thanks, Jason
