New to the forum. Thanks to this forum I have decided to build my first AR 15 rifle. Here is what I have so far:

Mega stripped lower
RRA LPG with 2S Trigger
BCM Extended tube - mil spec
Magpul CTR Mil SPec stock
H and H2 buffer plugs
BCM spring, castle nut

Mega Upper
LMT BCG - M16
Troy TRX Extream handgurad
Troy Vertical Grip

Looking for DD 16" light weight mid length barrel and corresponding gas tube
Need gas block, and sights ( leaning toward Troy)

So far I have gone ahead and have almost all the lower assembly done.

Thanks for all the  help I have been gleaming just by reading on this forum.

Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr I can't believe I can't find a DD 16" barrel anywhere in the US!!!!!

This is a bit frustrating, that is the only component I am lacking to have all I need to finish the rifle. I do have a few parts in rout to me but I can't find a barrel.

Some dude was selling one on the EE, I think, but it might've been a 14.5" with a pinned FH, tho... worth a look.

looks good, glad to see you found a barrel

Yes I had to "settle"   for a Wilson Combat barrel, it should do what I want it to do. This rifle was not meant to be a tack driver and I should get all the accuracy that I am able to hold with the Wilson barrel.

All I need is the BCG and to mount the EoTech which I already have and the rifle will be ready for a range report.

Thanks to all how supported me through this project and for all the technical advice I found at this forum.
