I am about to buy Troy buis...I just can't decide if I should buy black, or fde....What is the consensus? BLACK/FDE...decisions...decisions.

Have you shot this build? I ask because I would be hesitant of unknown parts, especially barrels (and bolts obviously). Personally, I'd like some magnification to go with a 20" barrel, but that's personal preference.

I have put 30 rounds threw it, so far so good.
I guess I should have been more clear...this barrel was on the first Ar I ever bought, I don't know the manufacturer, I have put a lot of rounds threw it. I changed it out for something lighter a long time ago, It was just sitting around, and it sparked a build. The gun shop owner I bought my first AR from told me it was a match grade barrel, I just can't remember the brand.

I have a similar color scheme on a 20" I'm currently building. My OCD says "black" for a rear sight.

Your build looks nice!

Did you use the 80% jig or did you have something else?

Looks very nice!

I used an 80% arms easy jig. I ended up buying a black DD fixed front sight, and a black battle sight. I might put some black rail covers on the top rail. I also switched out the tail cap switch to a Surefire lock out switch, off a G2.
