That LaRue stuff posted above is top notch. LaRue makes quality firearms/accessories. If you want to get creative and go with something other than a direct gas impingment system (ie Piston Upper) then check out the Addax GPU. I love my 16inch Bushy. I do not recommend building an UPPER if you are new to ARs. Headspacing the barrel, etc are some fairly advanced projects in my opinion. That being said, I'm too much of a wuss to try it and I don't have the necessary equipment. Also, torquing a barrel on in my college dorm, at Virginia Tech of all places, would have one of the sheeple literally shitting themselves.

Agreed. LaRue is the best if you can afford it. He is a great guy who does a montly giveaway on AR15.com

I'm not sure if they have a 5.7mm, but I know they have 5.56mm and 6.8mm in every possibly config. I've heard nothing but good things as far as quality, and you'd be hard pressed to beat their prices. The kits section includes everything but the stripped lower.

I've been looking into them Mike. They seem to be very slow, but have a decent product.

Here's what I'm considering:

16'' AR15 C.A.R. Kit, 5.56 NATO, chrome lined chamber & bore, 1-9 twist, target crown, BAN COMPLIANT; A3 w/removable flip rear sight, 4 aperture, $65.00 option; 4 rail gas block sight base, $38.00 option; Standard bolt & carrier; Badger extended latch chg hndl, $14.00 option; YHM free float 4 rail handguard, $100.00 option; Fixed CAR buttstock; Standard A2 grip; Black

Total $712.00

Thoughts?

That's a hell of a price. I have heard Model1Sales is back logged a little because of the election. I'm kinda tall so in the 16 inch models I like the dissipator which has the full size grips. It allows me to get my left hand further away. I like you're choice of options. I'd like to see some pics posted when you finally get it all assembled.
