Well, I have been browsing for a while. I finally picked up a lower, Charles Daly Defense. DPMS LPK and have that together. I have the Magpul CTR stock coming. What I am stuck on is what to do for an upper. These are the two options I have been looking at getting:

LMT 16" Upper assembly      $485
BCG CMT                              $120  
CH                                          $22
YHM Free Float Forearm       $130 (Or any other forearm for same price)
BUIS MI folding sight              $120

Total :                                     $877

I am also looking at the YHM Black Diamond Spector which I can get for $769.
The YHM comes with folding front sight which seems like a plus.

I eventually want to put an Aimpoint on the gun. Will the fixed sight on the LMT be a hindrance or will it be far enough above the sight to not matter?


Another option is buying all parts separately. For about $800, what are some options that would get me good quality with everything that the above include?

I would like 16" chrome lined barrel and a flat top upper to start.

Sorry its a lot to ask but I have had this on my mind for a while and looking for experts opinions!

Put this together in about 1/2 hour and only flew the detent spring twice and actually found it both times. TIA

The LMT upper sounds pretty good. Most people are not bothered by the A2 FSB but some are. Maybe check out a friend who has a similar config?

Are you sure you need the railed free float? Nothing wrong with that but if all you want to mount is a light, that can even be done on stock hand guards.

You need a Bill Springfield trigger job.  Good luck and have fun!

Perfect!

Would you suggest buying all parts separately? I do not need the free float tube but I would like a quad rail because you can't beat the look and I do want to put a vertical grip on it. I know you can do it other ways too. I was thinking about the Magpul moe grip as well. I am hoping to get steered in the right direction as to where to go with it.

Anyways, thanks guys!

I'll definitely look into that. Can you speculate on the difference?
