What are your experiences with the following? At times like these, choices are limited so I’m trying to weigh “wait for the right one” vs “get what I can get”. Platform is an Aero Precision upper and lower, which I already have.
1. Barrel. Probably not going to go crazy on the cost of the barrel. Looking at waiting for a Criterion 18-20” to come in stock, or I can back order one from Wilson Combat. Also looks like Tactical Ordnance is taking orders as well. Any experience with these?
2. Bolt carrier group. How does this affect accuracy? Do I just need to get a good quality one, or is there any I should do to make sure it’s a good match/fit for the barrel I select? I understand that milspec should keep everything generally equal, but is there anything additional to consider if building to match grade?
3. Gas block. On a rifle length gas system, should I still consider using an adjustable gas block?
4. On a milspec rifle, how do you fine tune the headspace and chamber for accuracy? ...so is it just bolt it up and go?
Are there any other parts that you have experienced a significant change in accuracy? I know the trigger is an important component and a free floated handguard, anything else? Will be using a fixed stock.
I’ve built a shorty 300BO, so I’m familiar with the build process. That firearm though was built as a plinker without much concern for extra steps or specific parts for accuracy. To the extent that I can, I’d like to lean towards building this 308 as a more accurate build.
