I've got just about all of the parts ordered (or in my hands) for my second build.  Lower is no problem, but wondering what else I'm going to need for the upper (which I'm going to get assembled by my 'smith).

So far I've got:

-stripped upper (VLTOR MUR)
-barrel (DD 10.3 w/ FSB)
-rail (DD MK18 FSP RIS II)
-flash suppressor (KX3)
-BCG (Young)
-charging handle (Gasbuster)
-buffer tube, etc (Phase 3 pistol)

So what am I forgetting, other than optics?

And on an entirely different subject:  I'm going to build this as a pistol, but then go the trust/stamp route to turn it into an SBR.  Is it necessary to engrave the lower to my "trust" or no?  I'm a little cloudy on that.  If there is a good Trust/NFA FAQ here on Arfcom, I'd really appreciate being pointed in that direction.  

Thanks!!!

Gas tube and barrel nut?

That's it?   Any pointers on where to find them?

Dust cover, Forward Assist, Gas tube, Gas block, and Barrel nut

Just assemble it yourself. It is easy and you will know it was done correctly. Also a good excuse to buy punches and a receiver block for the vise.

DD MK18 FSP RIS II comes with a barrel nut and the wrench to install it.  Assuming it was bought new in the original packaging.

I'm assuming (and again, I'm very new to this) that the FSB installed on the DD 10.3 is the gas block.  Am I wrong about that?  

I purchased the rail from Bravo, so I'm assuming that it will indeed come with the matching barrel nut. It's scheduled for Friday delivery, so I'll wait and see on that.

The DD 10.3 says it's carbine length, so I'm assuming that I just need to hunt down a carbine-length gas tube.  Any recommendations?

JSE Surplus has some

Fairly cheap, fast shipping

A few of these left also to make the shipping worth it
