Thank you all for your input.
RON: Good info. I'm trying to learn my history so I build it correct. So far he has told me his rifle was 20", A2 (?) FSB, round handguards, carry handle, he said it had the tear drop forward he thinks. Fixed buttstock, and rear sight adjustable. He can't remember manufaturer. I don't know his unit but he was not in any special group. He was a US Marine. I have looked at the retro forum to do my research on what type of parts should be used. This will be on a 80% lower. I belive it was a Pencil Barrel but could be wrong. He can't remember. I just built another buddy a 20" flat-top with Magpul MOE hand guards. He is 6' 5" so he wanted a bigger rifle. I use Del-Ton barrels in all my builds. His rifle was surprisingly accurate.
So is there any thing specific you would suggest? Am I on the right track? He is on a budget, so I think we can build it for no more than $1000.
If I am wrong on my thinking, I will gladly accept correction.
Everything I have learned about building AR'S has been from people on ARFCOM.
Thanks again.
