Step by Step: Building A Precision AR-15 Upper Receiver

Just as it is with power tools, each type of firearm has its own purpose. With the modularity of platforms like the AR-15, one type of gun can be configured in many different ways, covering different kinds of tasks. In my personal collection, I have a shorty AR for close range, a standard 16” do-it-all gun, and a large void that needs to be filled with a long-range, precision rifle. Adding the word “precision” to anything basically triples the cost of an off-the-shelf gun, so I decided to build one instead and gather parts over time. Join me on this journey, as I put together an AR-15 upper, part after part, expletive after expletive.

Attention, Deer Hunters: 400 Legend Mossberg Patriot Is Here For 2024

The history of fish-and-game laws is filled with tales of authorities devising new crackdowns to preserve wildlife (or sometimes human life)… and gearmakers, ammo manufacturers, firearm designers and hunters themselves figuring out how to work with said laws. The new-for-2024 400 Legend Mossberg Patriot is the perfect example. It isn’t the traditional break-action or lever-action rifle that many lawmakers might have envisioned when straight-wall cartridge laws were introduced.
