Looking for Varminter upper that doesn't exhist
Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2011 1:08 pm
Maybe I'm just asking too much, but I thought I'd ask you guys for input.
I have been looking for a complete upper assembly. The main target is Coyote. Since they are pack animals, I want greatg accuracy with the ability for quick follow up shots. So, I was thinking (oh-oh, run away, far far away! lol):
.223/5.56 Semi Auto flat top AR-15 style upper receiver with ejection port dust cover door
24" bull barrel with full length flutes, and a gill style muzzle break added (keeps the flash from makeing me lose sight of targets, as well as keeping rifle on target, and hopefully preventing grass fires?)
Vented free floated aluminum hand guard with dual sling studs (one for sling, the other for bipod)
Everything black, Nothing shiny.
All for a reasonable price, as "custom builds" seem to break my bank. I purchased my .450b upper assembly for around $550.00, and I would consider it to be "specialized". Is it too much to ask for a varminter with these featured for close to that price?
Bushmaster offers everything but a muzzel break on their Varminter and it's still pretty costly at $785.00.
Any other ideas?
