The TRIM rail is pretty slick. If I was to run a tubular hand guard, I'd probably give the Daniel Defense MFR a try. The DD stuff. Use now is great and I'd machine the MFR fits right in.
I'd assume the URX III would work with the Stealth upper, but we all know where assumptions get us. I had a couple URX II's as well as a lightweight URX II. I really like the rail but I'm not buying any more unless I can get one without the integrated front sight. I've had to replace or fix both on the URX II's I ran regularly.
I'm interested to hear how the lightweight stainless barrel works out for you over time. The lightest profile I've gone on an AR is the SR15's, but other than those, I've stayed away from lightweight barrels. I'm very interested in a 14.5".
The one suggestion I have though is about the KAC micros. I run the KAC folding sights on on two rifles as well as the rear only on another and the front only on another. I've handled the micros a good bit though and there's a few things I just don't like about them. For the front, unless you're running it up a majority of the time, I don't think it's worth the trade off to have it unprotected when folded down. Maybe I'm paranoid but I've just broken too many sights to risk it personally.
For the rear micro, and again this may be a bit overcaustios, but I heard and then tried it and personally saw that it's possible when raising and lowering the sight that it can shift the windage. Now, I'll admit that this is much less of a concern than the front micro for me personally, but again, to me it's just not worth the risk when I can have the standard model that doesn't do that. Unlike the front sight, this tiny issue wouldn't prevent me from using one, I just won't buy one over the standard of both are available.
I hope no one takes this wrong and gets all defensive, just pointing something out, as small as it may be.
The accuracy looks really good. How is the barrel once it heats up a bit?
EDIT - I see you chose a different rear sight and the front is integrated. So, that was a lot of time to post for nothing... Maybe I need to start reading more before I reply! Looks good man and I hope for a long term update eventually.

Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe
