Well Im kinda new to the ar buid. Ive been around ar's for a while and have shot plenty. I am about to start my first build and thought I'd post it up to see what you guys think.

I plan on going with a spikes stripped lower then putting ST enhanced LPK and also a ST 10.5 inch upper with the upgraded nickel boron BCG iwas also plaining to put the KX3 on the end. I am not sure which rail systme to go with but I dont think I want to waist the money on a FF for a 10.5 inch barrel. So any suggestions on good rails would be apreciated. also i was debating getting a billet lower being that I am goping to have to spend an extra $200 to get my sbr stamp a friend of mine advised me to do this. My concerns were that I really dont need the billet lower. Are there any significant improvements to spending the extra money on them. Also what about a billet vs forged upper. Thanks for any in put.

There is nothing wrong with installing a FF rail on a 10.5" build. I go with the DD Lite Rail on mine. There is no advantage of going with billet over forged unless you just like the looks of the billet better. That is all personal preference.

I didnt mean they were not good just that i thought i would save the money and go with standard rails unless i would come across a good deal on FF. maybe put some of the savings to an aimpoint.

Actually I am going to change a few things up I have decieded that I will go with an 11.5 inch barrel but im trying to deceided if I want to buy a complete upper or build from scratch. I came across a really good deal on a pof gen III lower so I will put the ST enhanced LPK in it just need to deceide on the upper. Any suggestions would be apreciated. And I am also wanting to put a 12 inch rail with the cut out for the FSP I am only finding DD and MI that make these if anyone knows of any other company please inform thanks again.
