Next GB?

[bottlerocket]

Any insight on what it may be? I saw upper / barrels. Would it be just one option for each of those or could we pick the barrel we wanted?

Subscribing... I didn't jump on the lower GB but I am interested in the upper GB.

I bought 2 LPK's and 2 Stripped lowers. I am making 1 a 5.45x39 AR and the other a 20" or 24"

If the next GB is for just standard 16" stuff, meh. Does the 5.45x39 round require a special bolt and carrier group, or will a .223 work, just needs a different barrel? If not, I will be in for an upper and barrel.

I am down for some uppers, barrels, whateva. I have 13 bare lowers to play with.

I'm sure CJ will post something up when we get done with this GB.

The vendor I've been working with can do $90 barrels 5.56mm and 6.8mm with a 5 unit minimum. He can also do M16 BCG's for cheap as well as (hopefully) upper receivers - I'm a little reluctant to use surplus ammo again, they were so hairbrained about organization.

Definately in on M16 BCGs as long as its good quality stuff.

Can M16 BCG fire 5.45x39 rounds?

5.45x39 uses a different bolt but the same carrier as the AR-15/M-16

Sounds like that is the way to go.....

You need a PPC bolt face.
