Go easy on me I am a newbie.
I bought a complete rock river lower at a local gun show. I want a 5.56 upper with a 16" barrel and a flat top. I want to mount a eotech 517 on it and flip up front and rear sights. Maybe a vertical handle on the front would be cool. Beyond that I don't really have any preference or know what to look for. This will be my primary defense weapon as well as used for plinking. Any recommendations on what to get and where to get it?

I don't really have one. I am new to this so I doubt I need the best thing out there for a bazillion dollars but I don't want junk either. It will be my primary gun so I don't mind spending some on it. My problem is I don't know much about them and what to look for. I see ones for $600 and ones for twice that and don't really know what is the difference and what to look for.

That looks nice but it has a fixed front sight.

Not sure of your budget, or what you plan on using it for, but check out LaRue, Noveske, LMT, Daniel Defense, and BCM. As for rails, Daniel Defense, Centurion Arms, or TROY Alpha.

Currently looking too. I've narrowed it down to a spikes 16 with 12 inch rail or a Daniel defense. They're both on back order though. They both fit my budget of $1100 for an upper. Actually, they're well under my budget!

Here's what I have Daniel Defense URG and I love it.  If you shop around, you can find them for less.  I bought mine on sale for $499 about a year ago.  Top tier, mil-spec, and all that other stuff.
