Question on DPMS build...

[absrio]

I am considering building a new AR and was wondering the thoughts on this parts list...

DPMS Upper Assembly AR-15 Flattop Upper with Bolt Carrier Assembly 223 Remington 1 in 9" Twist 24" Bull Stainless Steel

DPMS Buttstock Assembly 6-Position Collapsible AR-15 Carbine Synthetic Black

DPMS Lower Receiver Parts Kit AR-15

All three of those for $520 then I just need to add in a lower i believe. Just wanting to build possibly a long range cheaper plinker.

whats your intent for the rifle. the bull barrel says bench rest/ varmit shooting but the collapsible stock say SHTF weapon. also i hear there is no ballistic advantage to a barrel longer than 20 inches.

For a range plinker Id just go with a standard 20" A2 stocked model. no reason for the 24" stainless unless you are gonna scope it and mount it on a bipod IMHO.

I like the collaspable stock better than the A2 thats why i chose it. This will have a scope and bi-pod on it for sure. The upper just seemed like a good deal at $415
