Well, Fellas, the time is JUST about here.
I'll be ordering a 20" Standard kit in the next week or 2. So, I'm wondering what you guys think I should get.
I've narrowed it down to

Model 1 - Good price and Chrome barrel, I have heard they use "Soft" parts though.
J & T distributing - Good price, and Chrome-moly
Adco/RRA - A little bit more $, and chrome-moly

I'll be getting the pre-ban, and I know some people will tell me to wait until sept. But thats THREE months away. I want it now!!! houghtsThanks.

RRA IMHO.

Go chrome or go home. I know Troy will agree.

RRA and Model 1 seem to shine in this area. Model 1 offers most everything chromed or unchromed, they seem to have a good selection. RRA still has some chrome barrels as well.
I can't vouch for quality but customer satisfaction between the 3 kit providers seems to be the same. RRA seems to be above them in this category, being a little more proffessional and all.

Oh, and why isn't M&A on your list?

J&T.  You can upcharge to chrome.  You will not go wrong with these folks.  They are deeper into this industry than most can imagine.  Great service, Great quality. Great people that know their stuff!!!

Need I say more?  I love em!

Are J&T's barrels factory mounted in their kits or is that the buyers job?

My first AR-15 was a Model 1 Sales kit.  I love it!!!!!  I don't know about the "soft" parts issue, the lower receiver parts and the upper receiver and barrel all are top knotch and you can't beat the price.  

Buy a Model 1 kit and put it on a Stag Arms stripped lower receiver!!!  GREAT QUALITY!

Thanks for your help so far guys. I guess it kind of looks like any of these three will work.

Anyone else care to offer insight?
