Hello all!
First, let me say that registering for this forum is HARD lol... man I had to use my .edu email to get on
I guess is good and bad...
This is my very first post, my very first AR15 build from parts... I placed the order from my local gun store and waiting for my new little baby
Here is a list of the parts, maybe someone can point out to me if i am doing ok or not

Complete Spike Lower
Spike's Tactical 16" M4 LE Upper w/9" BAR Rail      <–––– wished they had it in middy vers... and is it free float?
Magpul Flip up Rear and Front
Magpul Trigger Guard
Magpul AFG
Magpul 20rds mags
Badger Tactical Charging Handle Latch Gen 2
Eotech XPS2 Holosight with Magnification
and.... Really tempted by the 37mm from spike's


Thanks for reading!

Looks good! Except I'd get BCM CH over Badger and 30 rd mags

yep...



 

Great lets change it then BMC it is!
I really dont like the 30 rds... its long and gets in the way!

It's BCM and they are great.

Wouldn't you want the EXPS as that will cowitness?

I just built my first AR and I LOVED the whole experience (except waiting on shipping of course)...

I was just wondering why you didn't go with a middy?  I was told that Spikes will give you pretty much whatever you want if you call and talk to them in person.  Also, here is a link to a complete upper in mid length... I guess you would have to buy the rails system and install it yourself.  It's not all that hard.

BTW, even though it says they are OUT OF STOCK, they are just waiting on the handguards from Magpul.  They will sell the upper minus the MOE handguard for $469 SHIPPED!!!  That's a lot of gun for the price IMHO.

Make sure you post up pics whenever you finish it

I would love to get the Mid length gas system... BUT there is not an upper without the front sight tower.
the whole reason went with this one:

1. doesn't have the front sight tower
2. comes with rail already (and its spike rail, i am cooky i like things to match)

But what I would really want is the Mid gas syst without the tower and comes with the rails....

=(

Can i get this?

???
