Non NW:
Midwest Industries 3-CHAMBER AR Muzzle Brake (WI)
Magpul MOE® Carbine Stock - FDE (WY)
Strike Industries ARCH - AR-15 Charging Handle - Extended Latch (CA) Personally, after the crap laws CA has enacted, I wouldn't buy anything from there if I could keep from it.
JBO Lower Receiver Parts Kit WITHOUT Trigger (KS)
JBO Stainless Steel Gas Tube - Mid Length (KS)
Hiperfire Hipertouch EDT Enhanced Duty Trigger (MN) If this is your first AR, you might catch some crap for this choice from the "Start with a mil-spec" crowd.
ERGO 2 Suregrip - FDE (NM)
Spikes Tactical 6pos Milspec Carbine Stock Hardware Kit with T2 Buffer (FL)
30rd Hexmag - FDE (CO) Get several and lots of ammo. Both may be hard to find this time next year. If not impossible.
Diamondhead Polymer Sights (MA)

So far so good! I think it will be a sweet rifle when it's done. Of course, they're never really done. Are they?
