I have to give a huge thanks to CMMG for their great customer service and technical assistance!! This would still be a work in progress if not for their help with the FF issue (listed in another CMMG posting which was resolved to my satisfaction!!). 
I wanted my build to be a sleek as possible without things hanging off the side to hang on things or get damaged. This is a perfect setup for me. CMMG .223/5.56 Revolution Ambidextrous Upper Righty (FA on left side, Ejection on right side with ejection port cover opening up as a lefty would) CMMG 16" 1:7 CHF HP Barrel CMMG MK15 Forged Aluminum Lower CMMG K7 FF Standard Rubber/Plastic Rail ladder covers for FF (black) and flat top (flat dark earth) EOTech EXPS-2 Red Dot Command Arms MGRIP1 MWG Magpul AFG2 Magpul +GRIP Magpul MBUS Rear Sight TangoDown PR-4 Single Point Sling Mount Elzetta ZFH1500 Light Mount Fenix PD32 315 Lumens Light Griffin Armament M4SD-II Compensator Not Shown - Battle Arms Ambi Safety Selector, Rainier Raptor Charging Handle, Magpul MS3 Sling, Magpul RSA Single Point Sling Mount I might look at replacing the stock, but I love the light ass-end of this build thus far, so no rush in that category. Total weight approximately 9lbs with empty mag. 
I am looking for a ejection lever that will fit this particular lower. Magpul's BadAss won't fit and I am not sure of Phase 5's levers. I just hate to pay the price for one and it not fit. 
I am leaning towards CMMG to maybe look at helping create one for the market.

that just looks heavy.... Agree it looks heavy, but it's about 9lbs. The lower and barrel are heavier than my other CMMG (totally stock) and it weighs about 5 1/2. All-in-all, thus far I've got no issues with the weight...but if it does, just pull out the lighter one!

That's one unique rifle. Couple of questions. What lower is that? I don't think CMMG makes a billet lower other than the 308. Also, what's with the forward assist on the opposite side? I hope she shoots well I updated my info above after you asked this and included a picture. The lower is stamped CMMG MK15 billet. The entire original stock build is a non-cataloged setup. I even emailed CMMG just now to verify things...
And the opposite side FA...it was an idea they just came up with. Here's an older posting within AR-15.com about the Ambi's |

Nice Build. I don't know what to say about the bolt catch pin.  Never seen one that wasn't drilled all the way through.
I wouldn't worry about it for now. Aftermarket bolt catches Suck anyway. Dave in Florida Thanks Dave...! Well, comes to find out (with a close up zoom lens), it's a screw-in bolt catch pin. Trying to figure out what it takes to remove it if necessary. And of course what size to use. 
Just being curious, would you mind sharing why you're not crazy about the aftermarket levers? I'm always intrigued by others and love to learn new things...so my question isn't meant to be negative.
