September 28, 20197 yr So browsing the threads, I am getting the idea to build one. Was on Ballistic Advantage and they have the 12.5" 5.56 NATO profile barrel on sale for $120.
September 30, 20197 yr How much are you looking to spend? The Performance 11.3" is on sale for 168 I believe. You'd need to go with an A5 buffer kit then. That's my plan. I'm just over analyzing which buffer weight to get. I'm guessing the 12.5" is a mid length gas system though.

Mid is generally in the 14.5 range. Um... the performance may be good but this is BA... I would not be surprised if accuracy wise, this will be sub moa 5 shot as it is. Only thing not crazy about, it is a 5.56 profile vs a 223 wylde.

Yeah same here. I was hoping for an 11.5 or 12" .223 Wylde with 1/8 twist. The only one I found like that was a Criterion 11.5" .223 Wylde 1/8 that was $259. Pass.
