As the title says, I'm working on my first build. So far, I've gotten a YHM lower with a PSA Magpul ACS-L lower build kit and a BAD. Nothing too fancy.

I'm ready to start on my upper. I know 5 things, and 5 things only:
1. I want this barrel: Yankee Hill 14.5 Inch Fluted, 1:7 Inch Twist, Pinned 5C2 Flash Hider
2. That barrel needs a two piece gas block since the flash hider is permanently pinned. At least that's what I've discovered via research.
3. I want a Nickel Boron bolt carrier group. I'll probably go FailZero.
4. I want a monolithic carbine upper receiver. I like the VLTOR VIS, but I'd probably be okay with the Aero C.O.P.
5. I like Rainier's Raptor charging handle.

What other parts will I need to complete the thing?

Just a gas tube it seems. I think you've accounted for everything else.

Two piece gas block: http://yhm.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_6&products_id=43&zenid=414752e5822f57f643917034c2912b1f

You will also need some sort of fore guards and since your muzzle device is pinned, a free-float system
that will fit over your FS.

Sights?

He's going with a mono upper so it'll have the rail already. I totally missed no sights. Hard to hit paper without those.

1) gas tube
2) barrell nut
3) sights or optic
