Hey guys I think I'm going to build my first ar rifle and wich would also be my first ar rifle ever. But I am having some issues finding which parts are best.
I know a lot of things that I am already going to get but I don't know about the upper I was looking at  the Psa 20" ss chf  in .223 Wylde wondering if anyone knows about or has had this upper?  By the way I've never head of .223 Wylde is it only 223 or can it handle 5.56?

The Wylde chamber is good for both .223 and 5.56.  In fact, it is probably a bit better than a barrel chambered in 5.56...

Welcome to the club!

Best advice I can give you is those links at the bottom and top of the page. If you're looking for uppers, I've found Ranier, Brownells, DSG, DSA, DPMS, PSA, DelTon, Bravo Company, and AIM to have the most options for complete and build your own uppers. You might get a few double hits, but those websites seem to be the easiest to navigate and have options outside their own mfg parts.

As far as which parts are good, most times if you break out the google-fu you'll find there's a thread on here for just about any part you have a question about. Just search it on Google and most times I've done it you'll find a thread from this site about it.

Hope it helps! Good luck boss.

what do you want to use the rifle for? what is your budget for the upper? you'll get better advice if you can narrow the focus a little.

Seems like it would be a nice shooter.
I'm pretty new too and I'm wondering if you could use a carbine length buffer and tube with that.
