Well, after some delays, I think I'm finally going to be able to build my first AR. I want to build the lower myself, so this weekend at the Kenny Woods show I'm going to start looking for parts. What I don't find there I'm sure I can order and wait for the National Gun Day show at the end of February. This is what I want to use:

Double Star/Stag Arms/RRA stripped lower
Standard LPK
6-Position stock
16" flat-top upper
Phantom 5C2 flash hider
Four rail gas block
YHM flip up front and rear sights
Tangodown grip
M4 handguard

I guess I'll use a standard 16" barrel instead of an M4, seeing as how I'll never need the grenade launcher. The gun will only be used for fun at the range, so I was wondering if I really need a chrome lined barrel. I'll probably try to find a good(complete) used upper, so I'll start watching the EE section. Does this sound like a good build? Any suggestions or advice?

might i suggest the magpul miad grip that way you can change the grip to the size of your hand.


are you looking for just a basic 6 pos stock or something like the vltor or maybe magpuls ctr stock which should be comming out soon it is supposed to be i think i heard some where between 95 to 120 range.

other than that looks good.

look about half way down to see the stock.
