    This, plus a decent cerekote.

    I chose 11.5" because you get a decent velocity bump, which gives me a 200m fragmentation range with 77TMKs. It's pretty marginal with 10.5".

    Thank you Auto-X Fil. The list of parts in spreadsheet form is definitely what I'm looking for. My budget is far from unlimited, but I didn't want a bunch of responses from guys using parts just because they are cheap. I want to use quality parts with a proven track record. I'm new to custom building M16/M4 platform rifles and wanted to get an idea of what to use.

    Hmm for 10K i'd take a Scar 16s, chop it to 10.5" and add the KDG SAS Stock and other KDG goodies, Geissele Super Scar Trigger, (insert favorite 5.56 suppressor here), Razor 1-6x HD in a Bobro mount, and because I cant think of another $4K lets add some thermal optics as well.

    Oh wait this is in the custom AR section...

    Original response still applies, just get a BCM lower. You'd still have enough for the PVS14 and be <$10k

    Here is a list of parts from my favorite build:
    Colt 6721 lower
    Colt LPK
    Geissele SSA-E
    LSO Grip
    Magpul CTR
    H/H3 buffer depending on if shooting suppressed or not
    DD QD end plate

    Colt upper
    Colt BCG
    Raptor CH
    Matech Rear BUIS
    10.5 LMT Barrel
    DD MK18 RIS II FSP
    Tango Down VFG
    Surefire M600 ultra
    Surefire dual switch
    Insight ATPIAL-C
    AAC 51T FH
    AAC M4-2000
    Eotech 553
    Eotech G33 magnifier
    Magpul QD sling mount

    Probably forgetting some parts. In retrospect I wish I would have gone with a Surefire can, really like the mini-monster.

    Here is an older picture of it, slightly different configuration.

    If you have $10k sitting right now in cash and your intention is to spend it on an AR, I'd probably save just a bit more and purchase a FA lower. Original Colts go for $20k but you can find off brand FA lowers for far less. The lowers themselves hold their value pretty well (and increase). It'd represet an outstanding base that you could use for any build and the rest of the parts you can do slowly over time.

    That said, if FA has no appeal to you and you'd like to just build a semi AR in a 10~ length I'd highly recommend building a clone of the modern CQBR that our SOF are issued. It's an incredibly functional gun, fairly lightweight, and has some really great history behind it.

    It's 10.3", not 10.5", but barrel options are pretty wide open. A lot of the parts can be hard to source but that's half the fun is tracking them down.

    This x1000.

    Building mine was very fun.
