Looking at completing an ar build for coyote hunting.
Looking for a quality upper, barrel suggestions and suppressor recommendations. Give me your suggestions.
 
I'd start with a Gibbz side charge upper & build around that.

I've had great results with X-Caliber barrels. They regularly have 10% off sales.

I have only used a Nomad Ti on my AR's, comes in under 10ozs with the Ti direct thread adapter.

Not sure who I'd go with for the next one, but I'd start with Dilligent Defense.
 
wilson combat super sniper barrel, 20 inch 223 wylde 1:8 twist

it will shoot 1/2 inch groups at 200 yards with factory federal 53 grain v-max.

at least mine does. ignore the lone shot. i have a tendency to re-use targets

The choices are almost endless these days for anything to do with ARs.


I have built around a half dozen and I will make a few recommendations.....

-If you are running suppressed go with an adjustable gas block
-Suppressor bang for your buck......Otter Creek Labs or YHM
-Barrel 18 or 20 inch 8 twist (Wylde chamber if you are going with .223)
 
If you are building the entire thing yourself, put your money in the trigger and barrel. The rest of the parts IME just doesn't have a significant enough impact to justify spending a whole bunch on with little return in accuracy.
 
Shameless plug....https://www.predatormasters.com/forums/threads/fs-22-arc.363874/#post-3424212

Got her down to 1MAO and was happy with it. I'm sure with a little more tuning, sub MOA is more than capable
 
X-Caliber barrels are great. For a stripped upper, I recommend a BCM Blem for $50-$80 depending on if they are on sale. You have to heat up the threads with a heat gun in order to get the barrel to slide in. I always square the face of the receiver also. Add a good trigger and you will be happy with how it shoots.

Not sure what you budget is but you might look at this one at Ballistic Barn with a Shaw barrel. I can vouch for the accuracy. They have some 204 Ruger uppers also.
