Hey, first post here... been researching through this site for a while now. I'd like to post my AR build plans, and maybe get some constructive criticism from those who know better. I've got my Spike Tactical lower on its way, but nothing else has been purchased yet. I'll pick it all up as I go.

Let me know wha you think about this setup:

Lower (about $275):
Lower receiver - Spikes Tactical Forged Spider
LPK - RRA Basic Kit
Buttstock Kit - Brownells Assembled Kit w/ Magpul CTR

[#1]
Upper (about $800):
Upper receiver - Spikes Tactical Upper
Barrel - Spikes Tactical 16" ML
BCG - PSA Premium BCG
Gas Block - Spikes LP .75
Gas Tube - Spikes Tactical ML Tube
Hand guard - Midwest Ind 12" M-Lok
Muzzle Break - Spikes Tactical A2
Charging Handle - BCM Gunfighter Mod4
Backup Sights - Magpul MBUS Pro Rear and Front

OR a similar upper assembly for about $710: BCM 16" ML w/ MI handguard

What do you think? Thanks!!

Have u considered going with a .625 gas block pencil barrel? Lightweight is great.  Can't go wrong either way.  13-15" handguard is nice too.

PSA mid length Premium with MOE furniture kit: $489 on sale (they had a sale last week). Has an FN barrel.

Low pro gb: $20

MI rail: $150

MBUS rear sight: $35



Sell the MOE hg and A2 fsb.



From what you posted, the BCM upper is a better deal. Also you can get the NM 2 stage RRA trigger lpk for $50 more.
