I've wanted an AR15 for a while. This is my first build, and all that I've learned has been from this message board. (Thanks to everyone!)
So far I have received my 14.5" CMMG barrel with a Phantom flashhider . . . and misc barrel parts from Rock River Arms. The photo below shows the 14.5" barrel with the RRA CAR handguards (I can't afford to float it right now), sling swivel, and hidden front sight post components.

I've got qty=3 30 round magazines already loaded and waiting. . . . problem is that I'm waiting on the delivery from RRA. At least, I placed my order on September 16. RRA is currently quoting 6-8 week deliveries on lower receivers, per their sales associate.
This being my first build/assembly, I have one question: Will my RRA upper work with my CMMG barrel? The CMMG barrels are supposed to have "M4" feedramps. I have no problem with filing\polishing my RRA upper to match the feedramps.
