I’ve decided to build a 600m, sub-MOA capable AR. My goal here is to keep the cost AND weight down by avoiding gadgets/capabilities I don’t need. I don’t need to be able to mount a suppressor, tac light, M203 or PEQ-2. I don’t need name brand parts for the “cool guy” factor.

I’m starting with the stuff I’ve got laying around; a DPMS stripped lower, A2 stock, DPMS “target” style grip and a Rock River NM two stage trigger.

Slims is suggesting a 20” stainless steel barrel. I agree and will probably be going with a medium weight barrel, “rifle length” gas system and 1:7 twist as I will be shooting 70-80 grain bullets.

I’m thinking of using a simple tubular fore end because it’s cheaper, and I won’t be mounting anything more than a bipod. Beyond that, I’ve got no clue.

So what do you guys/gals think? What has or hasn’t worked for you? Suggestions would be appreciated.
