High Exposure 5,662 Posted December 29, 2014 For what you are doing, the Alpha is perfect. IWC makes enough direct mount stuff for it that you can still get pretty light and tight - depending on what you want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted December 29, 2014 Yeah I'm going with that. I like the squids too. What do you think about the lantac? Too much gray area? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,662 Posted December 29, 2014 I like the FSC556. Don't have any experience with the Lantac. Never even seen one in the wild.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gleninjersey 2,139 Posted December 30, 2014 Check out Wheaton Arms for their comps/brakes. I like mine. 5.56 doesn't have much recoil but my Wheaton comp keeps the barrel very level. Muzzle flip hardly exists and no pulling left or right. I think you would be very happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted December 30, 2014 Do an SPR, that was my last build and it was great. 300 Blackout is great but the ammo is expensive and the 6.5 is great too but the ammo is even more expensive. Even if you reload, good Grendel brass is about 90 cents per piece. I'm in the process of building a 14.7" mid length gas 100% Wilson Combat parts rifle. So I'm excited to see how that turns out. My SPR is an 18" WOA SPR .223 Wylde chambered rifle. I love it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted December 31, 2014 Ended up getting a griffin m4sd ii tactical compensator. Pretty impressed in its ability to stay in target from the vids I seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted January 5, 2015 White oak armament or rainier arms? 18" rifle or middy barrel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted January 5, 2015 White oak armament or rainier arms? 18" rifle or middy barrel? Also check out Nordic, JP, Criterion etc. On 18", rifle all the way, system is way overgassed anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted January 5, 2015 Also check out Nordic, JP, Criterion etc. On 18", rifle all the way, system is way overgassed anyway. Any favorites? I'm trying to keep < $300 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted January 5, 2015 I dunno, pick any of the major brands of 18" barrel and most will love them and some will hate them. I can tell you I have a 18" Nordic that made a trip back to the factory for an improperly cut throat, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't recommend it. Nordic and Criterion are both under $300, JP's are under $500 but that includes a matched headspaced bolt if that is worth anything to you (it isn't to me).

Rob0115 1,105 Posted January 6, 2015 Wilson combat is in sale in their website. Nice barrels around 300. Rainier arms about the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted March 28, 2015 Got my upper and hand guard. Got a NiB bcg, Griffin comp, and sights sorted out. Just need a barrel and I can start assembling this bad boy. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
