Like many other retroholics, I started this build with left over parts from other builds all bought here on EE––Smith Enterprise BCG for $100, Bushy commercial spec'd aluminum CAR stock with bad threads on receiver extension $55. Bushy lined CAR HG $15, but I really need to get a Colt shiny HG. Barrel is Highpowered Armory) 1/7 twist with bored out 1-piece FH, shaved bayo lug $295––probably not good enough for the purist. Lower is NDS A1 blem with FCG $165 of fellow ARFER and just got the 603 upper with narrow sight channel from NDS for $65. Colt marked '09 mag bodies & floor plates $44 (stupid CA laws only allows me to build 10-rounders). I'm still waiting to get a few small parts back from re-parking or anodizing. Can't wait to put it all together ... this RBRD is now full blown again

So you still need a port door etc. a mag catch button & spring, slip ring, spring ring & snap ring, gas tube & pin, buffer tube & lock ring, and forward assist parts. What else did I miss?
Hey, you almost there, Dude.
