How about a list of what you bought, how much you paid, why you chose those particular parts over others, your experience with those items and your application for the complete weapon.
It would help other readers understand the context and reasoning.

As you wish!
This is what I have purchased so far!
350.00 BCM complete lower
45.00 BCM Gunfighter CH
33.00 Magpul AFG FDE
20.00 Magpul Moe Grip FDE
64.00 Magpul XTM rail covers in BLK/FDE
274.00 Magpul PRS stock through Rainer Arms with extension tube spring and buffer
199.00 LaRue (Troy) Battle Sight BUIS
This is what is left on my list!
171.00 LaRue Harris Bipod combo
195.00 LaRue Scope mount LT104
500.00 Leupold Mark Ar 4-12x40
1199.00 BCM SPR Mk 12 Mod 2X-Bravo (LT13)
I choose the the parts that I did because I wanted to have a very dependable rifle. I wanted something that the quality shines throught in accuracy and in vanity. I know everybody says these things are tools and it shouldn't matter if they get scratched and what not, while I do believe that to a certain extent. I will be very sad the first day I drip this in the mud. This is pretty much my vison front start to finsh. Minus selecting every piece in the upper myself and what not, and alot a my hard earned money going into creating it. I wanted something that matches and the fit and finish is superior to other rifles I have looked at. As far as that goes I believe that BCM's fit and finish is gorgeous and everything on the rifle will be BCM, LaRue or Magpul from a vanity standpoint. Though this will not be a safe queen or a wallhanger, It will definately look the part.
As far as what is this weapons primary objective. I will be shooting long range with it and I am already planning on Praire Dog hunting next summer with my father-in-law, and this will be my weapon of choice!
Nice rifle you have planned. I have been considering the Leupold Mark AR 4-12x40 for my SPR too.
I am not sure those BCM 18" uppers have been even produced or sold yet.
A friend and I have gotten a jump on our BCM 18" barreled SPR builds getting them assembled enough for a initial range firing last weekend.
On each of ours the final configurations will most likely change before all is said and done.
Mine is on the right, most of it was parts from BCM on a BCM lower and the rail I already had for a long time.

Just offering:
If you are up Northern WI and want to get the upper components and the BCM 18" barrel. We have all that you would need for assembling your upper. You could even blast, paint, and bake your barrel with GunKote Flat Black on the trip if that is of interest.
The paint is on order right now otherwise our barrels would have been black by now. PM me if interested.
Have you looked at the Noveske SPR uppers? They have them in stock...

I have considered the fact that I could go with a LaRue Stealth upper or Noveske. I know the quality would definately be there, but the vanity part of me wants the upper and lower to be the same, plus I like the fact that they are a local business for me. Also just buying my carbine I can wait for them to be in stock again since I would perfer to stay married. :confused: I think ! :D
looking good..
Here is a few pic of my BCM 18in SS410 SPR build.

That's our summer project too :D
Working on building the drilling fixture for pinning folding FSB right now. Just put some KAC front sights towers on order for the SAM-R.
Also will build with a taper pin version of the VLTOR FST.
And MI may build us a taper pin verions of their folding FST.
Also, the VLTOR A5 is going to be an awesome set up on various rifle length systems (SAM-R, MK12, and M16A4/A5)

Paul,
Thats absolutely outstanding.I can't wait.
Thanks again for the details.
Looks like you got the Daniel Defense 14" rail rather than the Larue 13" any particular reason for the change?
Cameron
Just the extra .8 inches of rail I guess and I like how the Daniel Defense don't leave a gap on top between the upper and the rail!
Those are my thoughts on the DD Lite rails too, I have 10.0, a couple of 12.0s and I am thinking very carefully about the exact upper you bought (http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-SPR-Mk-12-Mod-Bravo3X-p/bcm-urg-mk12-3x%20dd14.htm) with the 14.0.
Looks great, let us know how it shoots.
Cameron
I just ordered the same upper.
They said it should ship out today. :D
Have you managed to get out and shoot yours yet?

Nice, I haven't shot it yet. But yeah they ship quick, I think it is because they don't want up to change our minds. LOL! I got a hat and stickers with mine. I ordering mine on a Tue. morning at 1:30am and I had it in my hand by 5:30pm on Wed. I also live in WI so I am sure that helped! It is absoultely gorgeous!

Prarrie Dogs Beware! Nice guns guys. It is nice to see things progress. I like the "matching" gun too I have a few of each. I'm waiting for a BCM factory registered SBR lower. It should be ready soon. Then the dang $200 to ATF and the months of waiting.
Guy in a brown shirt just gave me mine today... (https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=54163)
