After a year of lurking, I'm finally putting together my shopping list for my SBR build.  I've already acquired the lower, the stock and the optics.  

Are there any small parts (no matter how mundane) that may be missing from my list (LPK?)?  

Any conflicts between parts?


Upper - LT Stealth (w/ M4 feedramps, if I can find one)
PWS Piston Conversion
Barrel - 12.5 " Noveske Crusader
BCG - Noveske 5.56 Bolt & Carrier Group
McFarland Gas Ring
Charging Handle - PRI Gas Buster
FF Handguard - LT 9"
Suppressor - Surefire FA556K (What muzzle device/flash hider/mount should I get for underneath?)
BUIS - Noveske flip-up front & rear
Accu-Wedge
Lower - Noveske 5.56
Stock - Magpul UBR
Grip - Magpul MIAD
Buffer - Enidine Hydraulic Recoil Buffer
Trigger - Geissele 2 Stage
Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard
KNS Gen 2 Anti-Walk Pins
KNS Firing Pin Retainer
Weapon Light/VFG - Surefire M910A w/ LaRue 17 QD upgrade mount
Optics - Aimpoint Comp M4 w/ LT-659 QD mount | Aimpoint 3X w/ LT-649 QD Pivot mount


I enjoy shooting ARs and figured that I'd rather build my own with the parts that I want, than purchase an off the shelf model that I'd just end up changing later.  My brother in law is a Fed BP Agent (and soon to be SS Agent) and he will be helping me with the assembly.  So I just want to make certain that I have everything that I'll need to bring with me when we start the build.

Thanks for the input.

Sling?
If I may suggest:
Blue Force Gear Vickers sling with quick detach sling mount/swivel for railed handguards and quick detach sling swivel to attach to your buttstock.  I believe that Larue sells the mounts and several vendors on arfcom sell the sling.

Magpul makes a MIAD grip that has the enhanced trigger gaurd built into the front strap of the grip as an option.

If you can't find the LaRue upper take a look at the Noveske Crusader upper with the Vltor VIS.  Then you can get the Noveske marked Troy BUIS.

Thanks for the advice.  I've heard horror stories about some uppers/lowers not lining up well.  Thought I should error on the safe side with the wedge.  

Does it sound like I have all the parts I'll need, other than steady hands and something to throw when the pins become a pita?

You don't need the Gasbuster if you're running a piston conversion. The full MIAD kit has an insert with the enhanced trigger guard, see if that works for you before purchasing the stand alone guard.

Everything looks good and it's going to be an expensive build.

+1 with the Blue Force Gear Vickers VCAS two point sling, I just got my third one this time in foliage green color, it's a popular sling around here.

For sling QR rail mount I like my Daniel Defense new slimmer model, it features a rotation limiter which prevents the sling from being twisted and tangled.

I would also recommend Bravo Company's BCM extractor CS spring upgrade kit.

Magpul also makes a folding version of their enhanced trigger guard if you're interested in that type of design.

Let us know when it's done and how it shoots, good luck.
