wombat120 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hi, I'm a bit out of touch as to what is available these days, having had a Southern Gun AR15 years ago with the horrible high rise upper. Just wondering what is available these days to the UK shooter, looking for a 18 to 20" barrel, 8" twist, right hand cocking, full length picatinny handguard, 223 Wylde chamber. Looking to avoid anything that's painted (everything I've seen so far!), or where the upper and lower receivers don't actually line up or have a visible air gap between the 2 halves lol, things that the Americans wouldn't tolerate from their AR's Many thanks.

Roy W Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Get Valkyrie or Bradley Arms to build you one to your spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want anodised ? personally Cerakote in my opinion is better , As for the air gap unfortunatly thats milspec for you . I have a Vakyrie 223 built as i wanted it for with lots of advice from Dave Just ordered a 22lr one (a bit different ) and he built my AK Does that make me a fan ??? Seriously my background is as a toolmaker and i like what i see in his workshop and his customer service so he gets my cash ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meles meles Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 We'd also vouch for Valkyrie rifles. Dave did some minor repair and fettling work on a Remington a while back for us and the quality of workmanship and service were superb. We got to see an AR he was building at the time and it was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaxes Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 LMT are the highest end factory rifles available here, I think. The brand of choice for many discerning civilian and uniformed buyers, including the British military. To be honest, as long you use a quality barrel with a good fit to the upper receiver, a free float handguard, and a good trigger, you should have a very accurate rifle.

BamBam Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 The current production Lantac is very good. https://www.lannertactical.com/straight-pull-raven-ar15-rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat120 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Took a look at a relatively new one at the range last week, seemed to be a painted/cerakoted upper, and obvious day light between upper and lower, bit disappointed. Will take a look at the LMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bledd Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 There's no beating Dave's builds. Not cheap but paying for quality. Seems he favours sassen barrels, aero uppers and lowers, triggertech triggers and any shade of paint you can imagine. His workshop is a shooting wet dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
