[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 3642443, member: 6064"] Upper, lower, who cares? All of them are about the same as long as the holes are in the right place, and the barrel fits the upper well, and if not you can always thermo fit it. Square the face of the upper! Next, I have never been sorry when I bought a good barrel ie. Criterion, Wilson, Compass Lake, J.P., etc. Same with bolt and carrier, worth a little extra coin for good ones. Triggers? I like J.P., there are lots of good triggers out there, but I have run into a lot of guys who start having problems with most of them over time. The J.P. I put in my practice rifle in 2004 now has had 4 barrels that I shot out on it, so it has been trouble free for about 50,000 rounds although I will admit I put in new springs in 2017. I will also second the G.I. magazines with mag pul followers. I have never had any trouble with them, they just run and run. The only polymer magazine I got cracked at the feed lips after a couple of years of hard use, so I don't bother with them any longer. Don't go cheap on optics! I shoot iron sights and even then I get the best I can find. When it comes to dot/lpvs, get the very best you can afford, and GOOD mounts. "Dream rifle"??? Buy J.P. and never look back....but then again I am sponsored by them. I used their rifles well before I shot for them, but that full disclosure thing. I. [/QUOTE]
