    AR Pistol build deets, good to go?

    Putting together parts for a pistol build. Primarily for fun range time (so will get shot a lot likely) but will travel with me for long trips. I haven't parted together an AR before so thought I'd run these by you guys. Not looking for a budget build or top of the line, just nice and reliable.

    Aero M4E1 threaded receiver set
    Odin Works stainless 7.5' .223 Wylde w/adjustable block
    Trinity Force FW II keymod triangular rail 9"
    Linear Comp
    WMD Nickel Boron BCG
    Geissele SD-3G trigger
    Law Tac folding adapter
    SBA3 brace
    Ambi Safety
    Extended mag release
    Extended pins
    Armaspec charging handle
    Magpul Pro MBUS
    Slim Grip
    Vortex Sparc rds

    I understand 7.5" barrel ballistics and will be working up loads for this rifle. Other than that, any issues with the above I should be aware of?

    Install a Colt or Sprinco M4 extractor spring.
    Take a look at the BRT Covert Comp. It's smaller, lighter and costs less than the Flaming Pig and it works.
    Get a Split Fix for the SBA3. The Split Fix will stiffen and protect the rubber wings. It's well worth the $25 cost.
    I think the Sig Romeo 5 is a better econo RDS than the Sparc.
    The number of folks on my Full Of Shit list grows everyday

    Thank you for the tips! checking them out now. The Sparc has been sitting in the closet looking for a home for a few years, lol.

    I would skip the nickel boron bcg and go with a quality bcg like BCM or Colt. If you're looking for one that's coated look at NP3 instead.

    Hmm, I read through a ton of posts on here as well as other reviews and the WMD was rated within the top 5 BCGs for quality. Am I missing something about WMD?

    So, it's done. Got it out to the range and was getting 3mos with a 2moa dot. No keyholing and was getting ~2250fps using .223 Hornady black 75grn. Tbh, I was pretty surprised at that. I expected some tumbling and in the 2100 range. So def happy there. No failures. The aftermarket pins were slightly undersized and the receiver had a little wobble. Fixed it with the Aero tension screw.

    The SD-G3 Trigger is amazing. Very very happy with it. I think the only low quality parts in there are the trinity force handguards.(Please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm going to switch those out for a shorter m-lok rail of better quality. First build so didnt really know what was best for some of the parts. All in all, I'm quite pleased. I need to take it out to a longer distance range with an LPVO and see if it can hit decently at 200-300 yards.
