[QUOTE=Sarah;1448841]AWESOME!
this is my first SBR and I want to do it right, I dont' mind paying for quality but don't want to overpay. I'd much rather spend $$$ on getting the best set up for me than on dumb shoes, clothes and handbags
If you are counting ounces. I think the centurion arms rails are the lightest to fit a standard barrel nut. They are nice rails too.
I have a 10.3 and a 12.5 sbr. When I did my 10.3 I wanted to go as short as possible. I also have an AAC Mini4. The rifle is nice and short and runs 100% with and without the can.
I built the 12.5 after selling an upper that I did not use anymore. I find myself going to the 12.5 much more than the 10.3 for two reasons.
1.) The 12.5 is much more accurate.
2.) The 12.5 is much quieter and has virtually zero flash with the Mini4 attached.

[QUOTE=Sarah;1448841]I stand corrected. Sorry and thank you
Well I don't know what I'd be compensating for....I'm a 100lb chick with more than adequate rack LOL.
Looks like you're being lead down the right path though, and leaning towards the idea:
10.5<11.5>12.5
Good luck, have fun piecing it together, and happy shooting

BCM 11.5" BFH (Or a Centurion 11.5") is solid, stick with that.
Handguard - the DD 9.0 Lite is good if you want rails on all four (lighter than the TROY bravo equivalent).
The TROY/VTAC Extreme is among the lightest handguard options, but...
The Noveske NSR 9.0 is going to be even lighter than that. I'd go VTAC if you don't want the keymod setup (my 9.0 VTAC-X SBR is very light).
Rainier did have a really good price on the AAC Mini4 22 cal can (I think it was just under 7 bills), so that might be the can to look at value wise if you're after a light, functional dual stamper. That setup would be the same overall length as a Mk18 (10.5" Bbl) with a full size can, but it would run a bit lighter for sure. It'll run just fine with an A2FH until you get the Form 4 Stamp in for the can (in pistol or SBR form) and be a really light rifle.
Next details are what stock, grip, and weaponlight configuration you're going to want to run (pretty much assuming Aimpoint T-1 on LT/ADM/DD lower 1/3 mount)?

I'd get a KAC 11.5'' SBR, and stick a SYRAC gas block on it. Then you get the ambi lower, and E3 bolt.
Maybe stick the LMT Enhanced carrier in it anyway for good measure, along with VLTOR A5 system.
