Starting a new build and this upper looks awesome. I already have an AA's carbine piston kit so does anyone know if this fits with the upper? I saw some stuff on their website about a special kit but didn't know if the standard one works in there or not.  Any help would be appreciated (don't worry, pics will come once I start)

I don't think so. Normal kit, the spring spaces off of the barrel nut. Barrel nut on the mono is way longer,
I'm betting the placement is different. Call them direct and ask, we would like to know also...........

Alright just got off the phone with AA and i would need a different drive rod for the mega ($100).  So I need your guys' help. Do you think I should get the mega monolithic upper and then also get the drive rod that I would need, or should I just get a standard mega upper and get an omega 7 rail?

Hmm I thought about ordering the mega lower but a friend said that the T15BDX's are better? Want to help change my mind?

It's a Daniel Defense Lite Rail 12.0.  It fits like it was made for that upper.

The mega lower is a better value overall IMO than the T15BDX

Rainier Arms has them and Mega Billet lowers. And billet is stronger than forged not the other way around, look into the manufacturing process of billets and forgings and you'll understand.

Can't wait to see the finished product, I'm putting together a similar setup, and wish I had taken pics like snakebite did

But did get the POF Cam Roller pin lol.
