If I did it again?
First thing I can think of would be a lighter profile barrel, lighter behind the gas block that is. Maybe a lighter/shorter handguard, to shave weight.
Also maybe get a barrel with a more common thread pitch, just to have access to more muzzle brake selection, not a lot of choice with 5/8x32 threads. Lighter muzzle brake also.
My upper is a Bear Creek Arsenal 16in upper, hard to beat for the price, mine has been surprisingly accurate and reliable for $225 delivered. No way would I want to shoot this with less than a 16in barrel.
I haven't had an issue with the 1-24twist rate, so would just leave it there.
Have tested up to 335gr bullets in mine, but the 250gr class bullets seem to do all that I need.
My 2c.
