Off the top of my head, you'll also need a buffer, tube and spring. You'll also need a few tools, particularly an action block to hold the upper receiver while you install the barrell.

trigger kit should already be included with the lower parts kit unless you want a match trigger.

Don't those usually come with the stock?

WAY, WAY, WAY too many people forget this part and think they can rig a rifle together.

barrel assembly <-this typically means everything in front of the upper receiver, which includes a delta ring assy, FSB, gas tube, and flash hider. If you mean just a stripped barrel, hen you will have to add some or all of these parts, depending on how the vendor sells it.

muzzle brake/flash hider <-only necessary if your barrel assembly doesnt come with one or comes with one you dont want

lower receiver <-assumed "stripped"

lower receiver parts kit

trigger kit <-not neccessary - comes with lower parts kit, unless you are upgrading.

upper receiver <- assumed "complete" or you will need upper parts kit if stripped.

carry handle or buis
bolt carrier group
charging handle

handguards or rails <-handguards should come with a "barrel assembly" Check with vendor

buttstock <- can be sold complete with buffer, spring, and tube, or not. Check with vendor.

pistol grip<- comes with lower parts kit.
