I've finally come up with a list for my future build. I figure that if I slowly chip away at it, but a few parts every paycheck, I should have it complete in 6 months or so. Would you change anything and why (cost, better component, ect).
AR15 Rifle Build Criteria: - 16” barrel (lightweight) - Mid-length gas system - Collapsible stock Lower assembly: - Stripped lower (brand TBD) - DPMS Lower parts kit - Mil-spec buffer tube and appropriate buffer assembly - Single point retainer plate (brand TBD) - Magpul trigger guard - KNS anti-rotation pins Upper assembly: - BCM Gov’t profile 16” mid-length upper assembly - BCM MPI BCG - BCM Firing pin - BCM cam pin - Firing pin retainer pin (M16 style) Sights: - F-marked FSB - A-2 carry handle rear sight -OR- - Rear BUIS (brand TBD) - Eotech 552.A65 - Eotech lens covers Furniture: - Magpul MOE front handguard - Magpul CRT buttstock - Magpul MOE pistol grip Accessories: - Single point sling - Magpul MOE picatinny rails - Spare parts |

You threw in the right 3-letter combo for your upper––-BCM. Since you're going lightweight barrel profile, I personally would spend the extra $200 on a Daniel Defense Omega 9 because depending on how much shooting you're going to do I'd never put any stress on a barrel. Non-free float HGs cannot do that. The DPMS LPK should work for you however they seem to have the grittiest triggers out there.
You're choice of single point sling mount is probably going to come down to a Magpul ASAP or Noveske QD. Since you've got Magpul gear in the way of MOE and CTR for stock and grip/trigger guard, might as well throw in the magpul MBUS. I can't say that I like the look of a FSB in my sight picture of an Eotech or Aimpoint. None of my ARs have FSBs anymore. Milspec buffer tubes are the way to go––-more options should you find a great deal on a SOPMOD assembly and fall in love with the cheek weld it offers. Overall you're looking at a very good rifle from what you have chosen. Good luck on the build. |
