So I picked a lot of this up off a friend. I am finishing the build. So far everything is brand new minus one item. Will probably just swap it for an new one before final assembly. Everything here has been purchased, in my possession or en route.
I need a barrel and gas tube. Going 14.5". Am I missing anything else? Recommendations?

Spikes Tactical Biohazard Billet Upper
Spikes Tactical NiB Bolt Carrier Group
Noveske Raptor
Noveske 13.5" NSR
Noveske Lo-Pro Gas Block
Lantac Dragon
Magpul MBUS

Lower:
Spikes Tactical Biohazard Billet Lower
Spikes Enhanced Parts Kit
Magpul UBR Stock
Magpul Enhanced Butt Pad
Seekins Enhanced Bolt Catch
Odin XMR
Noveske STS 60 Degree Selector
Noveske Take Down Pins


Misc:
AimPoint PRO Red Dot Optics
Magpul MS4 GEN2
Noveske NSR Polymer Rail Cover

What's not to like about what you have? Besides the XMR from Odin...thing is garbage in performance.

Sounds like you got a pretty good set-up to me. Some good names you have there. I don't have any barrel recommendations as I am new to the scene of ar making and only just recently finished a build

Good luck

XMR came highly praised. Figured I could try it out. Just $21. Thanks!

Make sure you get the barrel that works with your gas block.  Nice parts list.

Yup!
I might just grab a new one anyway, because that's the one thing that was removed and has markings on it. I'm just OCD.

Just used the 14.5" optimum on my sons build.  quite the good barrel.  you can find the FN govt profile at riflegear.com I have one of those too.  Just as good.  When we drilled and pinned them the spikes was harder to drill, like the exterior hardness was greater.  Either way they shoot identical.

The 14.5 is .75 at the gas block and it's mid-length? Just verifying. Thanks!
