New build...criticize it to death! Want it perfect

Nice job!!! I think you made a great choice. Can't go wrong and you won't lose sleep.

As funny as it may seem to lose sleep over such a silly thing, I found myself staying up 2-3 hours later than usual just looking at various AR parts trying in a mission to build the best. Buying the best didn't cost too much more and was worth a tiny bit extra and was exactly what I wanted. I left a few customization options open such as the stock, vertical grip, and optics. On the plus side, I get more sleep so I'm happier at work and don't yell at the interns. I will post pictures and a review will follow as soon as I get to take it to a carbine class. No use posting a review after plinking at the range.

I haven't been following my thread. The upper I was referring to is this one.

I have sold off my spikes lower and have purchased a complete BCM lower from grant at grtactical and a 16" BCM complete midlength upper with 12" larue handguards. Am feeling much less stressed out trying to figure out all these parts and crap. Sure it was a bit pricey but I would rather just be done with it and start heading out to some carbine courses.

Ah, that explains it, I thought BCM finally started offering the upper I want: a 14.5" BFH LW middy. Guess I'll have to wait some more

I'm in the same boat when it comes down to FF or MOE Mid-length - price v. options, but I have to agree with Rob that the MOE fills a very good gap and I am leaning more towards it then the FF.

HOWEVER!
I had just realized, as per your link to BCMmfg, that they offer to pin+weld onto a 14.5, which is AWESOME! and had not noticed before.

My excitement is so because I am in a ban state and, for whatever reason, BCMmfg do not pin and weld comps/breaks or sell the 16s without a muzzle device (if I'm wrong on this anyone, then tell me, I would be delighted to be wrong!).

Now I have two options for a quality upper - MOE or FF - (the other is Rainier Arms), unless someone can point me to a third.

Post pics of your assembly. Interested on how it turned out.

This thread is another good example of the value of m4c.net! Kudos to all!
Info, info, info, info...
