Well, it's time to finish my build (like i even started, lol). First off, gun will be used for hunting hogs and deer, probably not more than 200 yards ever.
I have a PA-10 lower, and that's it. I was hoping to snag one of their 18" SS uppers they had for $599 and just be done with it, but the cards didn't align when they hit the website. Now I don't want to wait any longer.
I am curious in the benefits of going 18" over 16". 16" parts are available very economically, and abundant. How much will I really gain going from 16 to 18" or 20" realistically? Is it worth the extra money and weight?
Suggestions on uppers? Assembled or otherwise? I really don't want to go broke getting this thing completed. I'm a dealer for Aero Precision and DPMS, but cannot make up my mind on length to decide what to go with.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also curious about muzzle device. I see a lot of decently priced uppers available without threaded barrels. Would a target crown be okay? How much recoil and muzzle rise should I expect without a muzzle brake? Is something needed for quick follow up shots or would I be able to handle it?
