I noticed after I posted that I was in the A2 section. I didnt know how to change it. SORRY .   I wanted to go with the A4 flattop. I just got one piece ordered as of now though which is a stripped lower reciever

No worries. Is it going to be 20" or 16"? If you're wondering how to install the lower receiver parts, here's an excellent guide. Be sure to use masking tape on the lower receiver when driving in your bolt catch roll pin and trigger guard roll pin. Again, welcome!

16 inch barrell. probably rock river arms upper . I just seen some interesting videos on how to color fill yourseld using whiteout or nail polish.  all these videos and links is really helpful

Welcome to the A-2 forum.  A-4 is very versatile also.  A 16" KISS LW carbine is hard to beat inside 300 yds and the good stuff will really reach out there.  Don't think I'd personally waste much time on colorfill myself.  Kinda like the tenderfoot carving notches on the grip in the old days.  Think I'd rather learn how to modify FCG's and parkerize parts.  Might also be some better choices than the RRA for the money but they are decent and this stuff is addictive.  Ice cream comes in different flavors for a reason.  Good luck with your build and any problems or questions feel free to ask.  Lots of competence on this site.

yes, I can already tell im going to be addicted. Ill probably wind up building 1 a year.lol
Im thinking my next one will be a A2 but since this one will be all black i gotta go with the OD green or FDE next time. Im not alot on all the colorfill either. I think a small amount is nice but it just takes away from the tactical look I think.
