Looking to buy my first AR and I had a few questions I was looking for help with.  
1)Has anyone had experience with a store/armory named AdTek where I would be most likely buying from?  
2)What kind of quality is Mega upper and lower say compared to RRA?  
3)What are the advantages and disadvantages of CAR length bs Mid length?  
Thanks.

I've never heard of AdTek. You may want to shop around some of ar15.com's sponsors, they're all well-respected companies.

Mega is a good quality brand. You're safe with them.

Midlength has a less noticeable recoil pulse, making it slightly easier on the shoulder (but the carbine still isn't bad). A negative for the midlength is that handguards for them are typically more expensive than their carbine counterparts. There are no real disadvantages to either, it's mostly preference based on recoil or just being "different"

I can’t answer any of your questions but once you start shopping around for magazines 44mag.com (one of the sponsers here) can’t be beat, I spent a week looking for magazines and they had the best deal.

These are the mags I have and they’re sweet, http://www.44mag.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DHMP

They’re only $11.49 a mag and have, magpull self-lubricating, anti tilt followers.

Would you say Mega is better or worse than RRA?

Most people here consider the Mega Uppers and Lowers to be the best fit and finish in the industry.  However, fit and finish have little to do with function.  Most all stripped uppers and lowers are exactly the same and do nothing more than carry the parts that need to be of higher quality.'

If this guy builds out of Mega receivers, this rifle your after will look as nice as any on the planet.  You should ask about the parts you don't see to know if he's building you a rifle that will work as well as any on the planet.

Here's a link to Ad-Tek for you.

They sound OK, but you never know.

Daddysnapmuffins,
Hello, I am the builder for the company you are asking. To answer your questions, Mega Uppers, charging handles, and lowers, are used. We have been approved by BATFE, to have our own registered upper/lower. These will be built by Mega, with our name/info on them.

The barrels are CMMG M10's 7.5"-20", M4A1 SOCOM, or Noveske Barrels as an upgrade, when they are available. The rear sights are YHM, or ARMS 40L series. The Bolts are BCM. The lower parts kits are DEL-TON, with a RRA 2 stage as an upgrade available. Our furniture is YMH, ERGO, Hogue, CAA, we can order anything you want to install, as well.

All of our uppers, and rifles are headspaced, and test fired. Since we are a Class 2 manufacture we can build anything from SBR's to what ever you want to buy that is legal ;). We have YHM cans, as well. I do not mean to step on any toes here, by answering this post. Thank you for asking about us, heres some pictures. Scott.
