    White oak armament accuracy

    True, that. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You need to send this guy to the bench for a while...............what an idiot. MM

    AR-15 uppers for accuracy, but not Compass Lake.

    ^^^^^^^^^This. But he usually has Rock Creek button rifled barrels on hand & unless you just have to have a Bartlien or a Kreiger, they will do about the same as Douglas...............& Paul Craddock is a peach to work with. You can always ask about Rock Creek cut rifled...

    Centurion Arms Chrome Sandcutter Carrier

    Other than KAC, not really................CA seems to be on the higher end frequency of OOS compared to most decent suppliers today. Even SanTan is not as bad anymore. MM

    Low Mass Operating Systems Setup

    I don't recall seeing what type of barrel or gas length that you have, but I've set up LMOS systems on mid, intermediate & rifle gas systems & all have worked quite easily. I'm surely not a fan of Superlative gas blocks & I use SLR's on better builds (they adjust easily with the right tool &...

    Precisions ar upper? Build help….

    With all that attention to detail, did you bother to check the mic against a 1" Jo-Block or some other large size standard? If the mic has any problems, like lash, they would likely be magnified a those kind of length measurements. Just wondering............................... MM

    Budget type build

    Nothing wrong with what you have with an upgraded optic. If you want to do a budget build, do it as another rifle..............use a PSA upper or lower or both; hard to beat for the price, even if you build from components, you likely won't do it for less. PSA has raised their game in the last...

    Opinion on best AR hunting trigger?

    Besides the Elf being a trigger with great letoff & reset, it also has a half cock notch like a 1911, for added safety if the gun is dropped or something similar. MM

    What's the best performing 223 AR load/bullet if you had to choose one?

    What Tony said. But if forced to have only one load, it would be a 69 or 77gr SMK, TMK or 75 Hornady. (The 69 TMK has been very accurate for me with 8208, VV-N540 & AR Comp. ) SMK's are almost never not accurate; the Hornady can be very good or just MEH in some guns. Heavy bullets will do all...

    Opinion on best AR hunting trigger?

    Elftmann Match, adjustable from 2.5 - 4 lb, very crisp, firm positive reset. Not the cheapest, by far. MM

    Overthinking it? Upper receiver selection choice for accurized SPR build (not a match rifle)

    For what you're doing & the barrel you're using, you surely don't need a monolithic upper. Vltor MUR, BCM, Cross Machine, SanTan are all some of my favorites; BCM is a thermal fit & SanTan usually is to most barrel extensions. BCM's are very concentric & blems are usually available for around...

    Low Mass Operating Systems Setup

    I agree with all the above & have several low mass setups from several sources; I have not made the leap to ultra low mass & probably won't for my needs. FWIW, the JP & RCA BCG's seem to be somewhat smoother than the others I've tried, but that's just a subjective comment. MM

    Larue Match or Compass Lake upper

    That looks like a neat idea, but please explain to me how that functions or controls gas any better than an SLR, or one of many other good AGB's, other than it needs no tool to adjust. Or an RCA adjustable gas key? MM

    AR tuning gurus….need your help.

    AGB's.......................the easy button. MM

    Larue Match or Compass Lake upper

    I agree about shorter gas systems; as for AGB's, either with or w/o a lighter BCG, there are literally half or more of the shooters here that use some sort of gas mitigation.................either via gas blocks of with adjustable gas keys. They just work. They just have to be tuned correctly...

    Larue Match or Compass Lake upper

    So does adjusting the AGB with a lighter buffer....................& a lighter BCG if you choose. The purpose of the AGB is to make it less "gassy", but most good rifle gas barrels are not gassy at all, compared to carbine or even mid-gas barrels. It's very rare to see an over gassed rifle...

    Larue Match or Compass Lake upper

    You don't need an H2 buffer with rifle gas & an AGB................just more mass to move. A carbine buffer will give less mass & (somewhat) less felt recoil if that's what you desire. MM

    Buffer vs carrier weight?

    This. To make use of light(er) components, you have to limit gas. MM

    ar15 barrel quality experience

    Your are mistaken; unless you specifically buy a Shilen blank barrel (or a Bartlien), the barrels from WOA are Wilson blanks. All their prices are based on Wilson, unless it says Shilen or Bartlien, which are both significant upcharges from the Wilson barrels. There are plenty of decent...
