Hello guys I have a few questions about my new build that I will slowly be working on. Well this is what I will be buying I will just put my questions under the items. I am kinda wanting to set this rifle up like a knights arm.

-DPMS striped lower
-DPMS lower parts kit
-DPMS buttstock assembly
-DPMS Upper Assembly AR-15 A3 Flattop Upper with Bolt Carrier Assembly 223 Remington 1 in 9" Twist 24" Bull Stainless Steel
*Is this a good twist for a var. of bullet wieghts?* What about the lenght?
-10x Super Sniper
*Should I go with a different scope or would this do*?
-I am not sure what kind of mount yet.

Or would I be better off getting a Model1 24" Tactical kit to add to my lower?

Lots of DPMS there! My rifle is a DPMS lower, and I have been very happy with the durability of the finish.

If you are going to buy the upper as an Assembly, check out Rock River. They stand behind their accuracy claims. My best buddy bought a nation match upper that was advertised to shoot 3/4 MOA, it shot 1/4 MOA out of the box.

-DPMS striped lower

    Never heard a complaint about a DPMS lower receiver

-DPMS lower parts kit

    For a few dollars extra I would get a CMT/Stag or RRA LPK

-DPMS buttstock assembly

    Just fine

-DPMS Upper Assembly AR-15 A3 Flattop Upper with Bolt Carrier Assembly 223 Remington 1 in 9" Twist 24" Bull Stainless Steel

    DPMS barrels have a good rep.  Don't forget to take a look at RRA as well


*Is this a good twist for a var. of bullet wieghts?* What about the lenght?

    I would go with a 1/8 or 1/7 so you don't rule out heavier bullets

-10x Super Sniper
*Should I go with a different scope or would this do*?

    I am not very "scope smart" but from reading reviews I plan on getting a 10 SS            
            for a Varmit build when I get back to the states


-I am not sure what kind of mount yet.

    Probably not
