Well, I've finally gotten enough research done that I feel pretty confident in pulling the trigger on this build. Now, technically, I'm not 'building' an AR from scratch, just assembling a completed upper and lower together. It's my first rifle, give me a break!
Here are the parts I decided to go with:
AnvilArms complete lower receiver
LMT MRP upper receiver - rifle 5.56 16" 1/7 chrome lined barrel
LMT 5.56 Enhanced S/A Bolt Carrier Group
LMT Charging Handle Assembly
BadgerOrdinance Tactical Latch
Troy BUIS
PWS DNTC Compensator
ACE Skeleton stock
I've already ordered the ACE stock, and am in email communication with AnvilArms for the receiver. I'm getting a piece of my own art engraved on the magwell:
Here's what it should look like on the receiver:
If anyone sees anything that they think I'm doing wrong, or has any other opinions or suggestions, I would love to hear them. Specifically, if anyone knows if that PWS muzzle break is legal for me to use in MA or not I would be very grateful. I haven't ordered it yet, I was hoping someone could clarify for me.
*edit: Here's some shots of the final build!
