[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1479765, member: 12995"] That being said, my .300 BLK and my M4 (14.5") were built from non-matched sets, and they're both extremely accurate. High-quality AR parts from reputable companies (like Rainier Arms) makes a HUGE difference as well...But you'll notice the price difference in your wallet, but the cost of accuracy and quality is rarely cheap. The .300 BLK is a frankenstein rifle, I built it with a Rainier Arms barrel, handguard, and bolt, but an old Spikes Tactical upper and bolt carrier (missing the bolt) that I had sitting around. Sucker shoots though! Gotta give it that! I'm guessing since the bolt itself and the barrel are both Rainier Arms they're both milled and chamber-bored to close enough tolerances that despite not being a "matched-set", that accuracy fluctuation is virtually nil. I need to do more testing with handloads to see how good I can get some Berger 210's and 215 Hybrids. My 14.5" M4 was built using ALL Rainier Arms parts, and it shoots (freehand and propped up on a Jeep spare tire) 1.5" groups at 100 using a 3x scope and cheap Tula 55gr ammo. Both me and my buddy were pretty surprised with that. I'm pretty sure it's got more in it if I propped it up on a sandbag, put on a proper scope, and used some of my Lake City XM193 ammo, or tailored some handloads to it using LC brass and Nosler 77gr CC's.
