finished my first upper build this afternoon. Thought I'd share.
-Rainier Arms 18" SPR Match barrel -Rainier Arms ultramatch gas-block + rainier arms gas tube. -VLTOR MUR minus FA -Young MFG chrome BCG -BCM gunfighter large latch -Battle Comp -Magpul AFG -Troy Alpha 13" +troy standard barrel nut. -Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x -Larue SPR-E 
Kinda dicked up the gas block's finish on one side while putting in the roll pin  need to touch up some of the bluing I put on there, but I think I may just get another and try again or have someone else install it.

Thats a very nice upper! I was tempted to try a Rainier Barrel when I was planning my build. I did however get the Vltor MUR upper and have been extremely pleased with it. Love to know how that barrel shoots. And by the way I would not worry about scratches on the gas block. It adds character and things will surely get scratched sooner or later anyway! |

Ya, I put some pretty deep gouges in the gas block, sanded it down and put some 44/40 Gun Bluing on it, matches close enough for me but I over did part of it and over-rusted it.
I haven't shot it yet but I'm already in love with the upper receiver, it fits the lower like they were a matched set. The case is a Pelican Storm iM3200 that I cut out with a $6 styrofoam cutter I got at a hobbyloby |
