SHORTCUT TO AR15 ACCURACY:
Great gun. Everyone has one. Stupid amount of forum chat about it. I'd like to share my thoughts on building or buying an AR with accuracy in mind. The gun is a tool. This tool is ideal for certain scenarios because of its battle proven reliability. Most AR's are NOT that accurate "out of the box", compared to hi-quality bolt guns in the same caliber, yet they shine in certain combat situations.
So you say you may want both accuracy and hi-cap defense capabilities ?
Shortcut, before you spend stupid money searching for the accuracy part.
1) Have a pro build it from the start.
2) Trigger: Invest in a 2 stage adjustable trigger. https://triggertech.com/products/adaptab...ry-trigger
3) Invest in a 1:8 twist Wylde BULL BARREL 20" works great. A bit heavy, but if you want accuracy in an AR this works. The Wylde barrel accepts .223 or mil-surp 5.56. The 1:8 twist puts good spin on heavier bullets such as https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/rifle...d-match#!/ but will also do well with cheaper bulk ammo like WOLF GOLD.
4) Scope and rings: Don't skimp. Use hi end like Leupold. Consider using quick release mounts with backup flip-up battle sights.
150 yd quarters are possible now.
