So, basically I've been working on this build since about October 2012 and I'd like to get input on my part list and input on the few remaining items left. Thanks in advance

Spike's Zombie Color Fill Lower
CMMG LPK
YHM Rifle Length Free Float Rails (12") w/Barrel Nut
Joe Bob's 1:8 Mid-Length 16" Barrel
M&A Parts 5.56 Bolt Carrier Group (Ordered on 3/19, still waiting for shipment)

This is an order I just placed 3 days ago. Everything should be in before April 2. Mix of a Midway USA and Amazon spree (Amazon blew me away with the amount of AR parts in stock)
Magpul MIAD Grip-Black
Magpul Aluminum Enhanced Trigger Guard-Black
ADE Buffer Tube Kit-Comm. (Tube, Spring, Buffer, Detent, Endplate)
Magpul STR Stock-Comm-Black
YHM .750 Lo-Pro Gas Block
DPMS Mid-Length Gas Tube
x2 Charge Handle Roll Pin/Latch Spring
ALG Enhanced Trigger
Double Star Charging Handle w/ Ambi Latch (Will switch with a Badger Ord. Tac Latch Gen 1)

Need to Buy
Upper Receiver-Tired of waiting for a VLTOR MUR1A so I'll try to pick up an Aero sometime this week.
Front Sling Point
Muzzle Break/Hider
Iron Sights- Magpul MBUS most likely
Optic-Primary Arms M3 Dot w/ High Cantilever most likely
Gas Tube Roll Pin(s)

Any comments on other additions or any helpful tips are much needed. I'm really hoping to get this finished before May when I have to start preparing for Nursing School in the fall.

gas block should come with tube roll pin.

DPMS upper receivers are in stock at midway I think.

Just got a yhm low pro, it didn't come with a roll pin.

I'm going to say if the Vltor is the upper your after then wait for it or you'll end up bitching about it every time you see someones build using one.  Be a lil more patient sounds like a nice build.

Update- Just received shipping email for my M&A BCG

Still waiting on the upper whether it's a VLTOR or Aero to become available.

Sadly, the YHM's don't, I was under the impression of that too until I did a little reading. Those upper's are slicksides, I'm needing a stripped with the deflector and FA. Really appreciate the help though.

I would wait for parts you want - otherwise you will just end up building another one sooner than you want

Stuff is showing back up , since some legislation is off the table I see this trend becoming more regular

Looks like the DPMS upper with FA and ejection port cover is in stock, hope it helps!

Edit** I meant one where you can put the FA and Ejection Port Cover but is stripped

Thank you so much for the help man, I'm really thinking about picking this up, but, I can't tell if it has the M4 ramps or not. Some reviews say yes, some say no. Anyone know?

Everything I am reading says they don't, maybe wait for an Aero Precision to be back in stock??  If you go to their FB page it will tell you how to get set up for text or tweets when they have their uppers in stock.

Yeah, I'm not going to spend the money without being 100% positive. Actually signed up for the alerts Saturday afternoon, followed their Twitter, and liked their Facebook. I've also got a page monitor checking the stripped Aero upper link. I can see them putting stock up tomorrow while I'm in class and whipping out the credit card in the middle of a lecture just to buy. Oh well, gotta do, what you gotta do.
