Finally got sick of making my 'upper' wish list over and over. This is for my first build, and I have only owned an AR15 (a bushmaster carbon) for a month. I am a REAL
h. Since I have a 16" barreled ar, I thought the other extreme, a 24" varminter would be a fun addition, and decided to build it myself. So the other night, I grabbed the CC and went to cyber-town. A woman with a CC and an internet connection is a dangerous thing...
Wilson 24" air gauge from Rock River. Hope the wait is not too long.
CMT flatop upper w/assist and door installed. Not m4 cut.
LMT chrome lined bolt assembly.
Gas tube and nut (did not know if the Wilson came with a nut, couldn’t hurt to have a spare?)
Bushmaster varminter float tube.
Have a charging handle already.
Bushy action block, DPMS multi tool and a punch set. Have a vise and a garage full of all kinds of tools (my dad worked for Lockheed and is a tool nut) so I am ok there.
And of course, the guides stickied at the top of this forum (great forum! I hang out here as much as I do on the Parallax forum!).
Am I missing anything?
Can't decide on a bipod (Harris?) or buis. I'm thinking, Troy front folding rail and Troy? rear, (have a Leopold 3x9 w/warne rings already.) Suggestions?
My other question is on the LMT 2 stage trigger w/the anti walk pins. Good choice? I figure I can always put it on the bushy if I want something better later (the bushy trigger aint my Schmitt Rubin trigger, that's for sure).
Sorry for the long post, I’ve been agonizing these choices for over a week now, and have yet to finalize the lower bits

I promise to post some pics when it is all done. I'm in CA, and have to sit on my lowers till they gets put on the 'bad' list, then I have to register 'em before I can build it. But I can get the upper done!
