White Oak Armament

[alan98]

I have a bushmaster A2 rifle that I seldom use so I was gonna buy a white oak barrel w/front sight, free float tube, matched bolt, and probably a rock river two stage trigger to make a more accurate rifle.

Would my rear sight be sufficient or should it be sent in to be pinned or however they do it?? I won't be shooting any matches, just shooting it out to 600 yards for fun.

Just trying to get an idea of what all I will need. It may be easier to sell the complete upper and just buy the white oak complete upper??

I would just sell and buy a White Oak upper, which are very reasonably priced.

Agreed. I'd hang onto the stock Bushy upper. Not worth that much. Having a stock A2 around is kinda nostalgic. I would like to have one. All of my A2s are NM uppers.

WOA is the best for the money...in my opinion.

I agree with the other guys. Buy the complete White Oak upper w/Wilson Barrel. Keep or sell the Bushmaster.
Now, the trigger. John works the Geometry on a RR two stage and makes an extremely good shooting trigger. I would definetly recommend having this done.

Thanks guys. I will probably just keep the bushmaster A2 upper and just buy the complete WOA upper w/wilson barrel. I was thinking of compass lake also but I don't think the extra $$ can be justified. I know I couldn't shoot the difference, if there's any to begin with.

Agreed above.. and just for fun, if you call WOA to make the order, for 30$ more they will use a shilen 4 groove blank instead of the wilson 6 groove... at least they did for my 6.8.. just thought Id throw it out there

Re: White Oak Armament

Is the shilen a better barrel for the AR? I don't really have much experience with Ar15's for accuracy.

Re: White Oak Armament

Shilen has a little better rep, and 4 groove doenst hold carbon/crap like a 6 groove... Is it necessary, definately not... Just thought I'd put the info out there

It's up for me 20 minutes after your post.

+1 on getting an upper from them with matched bolt/carrier combo.

Unless you are shooting irons only (Service Rifle/CMP/ETC) there really isn't any need to get the sight pinning service.

I would get a 20" tube...get the Wilson barrel...shoot the crap out of it...and if your skills get to the point where the barrel is holding you back upgrade to a better blank.

Spend your money on a good Geissele trigger.
