There is no ultimate/do all. Determine what do you want to use this tool for and build accordingly.

If by "perfect AR", you mean one that is a good all-around rifle for most things an average joe is likely to run into, I'd say one like my ADCO-built middy would be good for you. I picked this configuration to be a multi-purpose rifle after owning several different configurations in the past. I wanted a rifle that was capable of ranges from 20' to 500yds.
I don't have any pics of the completed rifle yet, but here's the specs: CMMG 16" .gov profile midlength bbl, 1/7, chrome lined WOA flat-top upper RRA lower MagPul M93B MagPul MIAD LaRue 12.0 Troy BUIS (front and rear) Leupold MR/T M2 with Ill. SPR reticle LaRue SPR-EER mount Pentagon X3 in a DD mount (will be a LaRue offset mount when I get around to ordering one) Dieter CQD vert. grip Harris bipod with LaRue mount so I can detach it when it's not needed. Vortex The furniture is OD and the entire rifle was KG Koted OD by ADCO. Green matches my environment. |

Over time if you look at these threads you will see countless variations of AR's. They will give you ideas you would not have thought of before. Still, you need to assess what the gun's primary function will be and build on that.

I guess if I had to say "if you could have only one" rifle, mine would be:
16" middy with rifle length handguards, set up as a dissy 1:9 twist, chrome lined medium profiled barrel standard FSB A1 upper receiver with A2 sight shortened fixed stock (for the cleaning kit) |

My perfect AR would have a hole for the sear pin drilled in the lower. After that I could be happy with anything.

A 20" AR with a scope and a Dr optic type at the same time.
Preferaly that can do 1k yards too, maybe in 6.5 We will see soon. |

For medium range accuracy, my idea on a no budget weapon....
LMT lower with LMT 2-Stage Trigger WOA Upper Douglas 12 flute SDM spec' barrel PRI SS Gas Block Smith Ent. Vortex Daniel Defense 12.0 forearm w/ AMU spec' steel barrel nut KNS pins CMT CL/MP tested M16 BCG PRI M84 Gasbuster Changing Handle Troy F/R BUIS ARMS 30mm high rings Leupold Mk 4 3-9x36mm MR/T M3 with Illuminated Reticle. The pics were taken in January, I have added a Magpul trigger guard and PRS stock, a Harris 3-9 BRM/S bipod with nut locker and LaRue bipod apapter, and finished it with a KAS QD sling mount and a turner AWS sling. All the parts came from ARFCOM dealers, NW Tactical, G&R Tactical, and ADCO Firearms....     My short range tool would be an LMT as well...

One lower multiple uppers.
That's the perfect AR15. Then you could have something like a big bore chambered AR15 as a guide gun for the occasional charging grizzly(or more realistically empty beer keg), another upper to get it moved over to a varmint config, another upper for 3gun or defensive use. So my perfect lower would wind up being something like a Bushmaster or STAG lower with Magpul M93A, Magpul MAID grip and triggerguard, and a massaged trigger with a JP speed hammer. Upper would be anybody's definition of perfect for them. |

Honestly, my ultimate rifle would be either a debaned MT6400C or an LE6920, with a high quality optic (ACOG, Aimpoint, eotech etc). I've never been a fan of the super fancy stuff. I'd rather keep it realitvely simple. Every answer you get will be different. Everyone has their own wants/needs, and none are going to be the same. I would recomend surfing through the pic threads to see what you might be interested in.

I was going to say the same thing - that AR really cannot be trumped !!! But here's a pic of my all-round AR - 16" Midlength (CMMG lower, RRA upper) with ELCAN optic and diemaco BUIS.  (I've tweaked it a little since then - it's got a fully railed handguard now, plus a different stock) |

I haven't caught an SPR disease yet, I'm waiting to see if my 2 STAG lowers will get to be built up into full rifles(california resident) to join my 3 other AR15s plus AR10. If one of the STAGs gets to be built up, that's pretty damn close to what I'm lookin to build. Something to be a smaller brother to my AR10.

 I would only change a couple of things, otherwise it's perfect for me 1. it would be a Colt 6921 instead of an LMT 2. upgrade to the new Surefire with the LEDs 3. upgrade from the Aimpoint ML2 to an ML3 4. add a D-Fender |

Looks heavy. For me, the perfect AR would be something like this M4A3 (RR) EOtech/ACOG Troy rear BUIS A good surefire light. Ability to mount a suppressor I don't see the need for much else. No rails, VFGs etc. |
