They run some wicked good deals once in a while on DD stuff.

Fast shipping too.

Still learning about AR's. I tried googling alot of those parts to see the difference.
0.This deal includes the upper and BCG?
1.Is there a difference WRT the rails?
2.Of those that are listed, is there a brand that is better quality?
3.When choosing rail length for a 16in barrel, is it all preference?
4.If I wanted to install the Aimpoint PRO and Troy flip-ups, seems like I would want the low profile gas block, yes? (just to be sure)
5.And lastly, the comps/hiders. Don't really need anything fancy, mainly just MA legal until I move to NH. Standard A2?

The page does not state if its included I'd give them a call they're good about returning calls.

1.Is there a difference WRT the rails?
Different makers/length/apperance/free float or not

2.Of those that are listed, is there a brand that is better quality?
No opinion YMMV. I went with the DD Omega rail based on the reccomendation of a friend.
I have not been dissapointed.

3.When choosing rail length for a 16in barrel, is it all preference?
Depends on the gas block/sight post, length of gas system and the number of doo-dads you want to hang.

4.If I wanted to install the Aimpoint PRO and Troy flip-ups, seems like I would want the low profile gas block, yes? (just to be sure)
Yes.

5.And lastly, the comps/hiders. Don't really need anything fancy, mainly just MA legal until I move to NH. Standard A2?
NO. Standard A2 is a "flash Hider, you'll need a comp- pinned & welded for Ma.

When all else fail pick up the phone, they'll guide you through the selection process.

Thank you Dennis! It's a bit of a struggle trying to learn about this stuff when I kind of don't know what I want. And for whatever reason, I brain-farted on the A2....I know hiders are "evil".

You're welcome.
I'm relatively new to the AR myself. My first build was a real frankenAR .
I seem to have got things right the second time around. With the plethora of parts & accessories its hard not to do the "kid in a candy store" thing.

The really hard part is to stop building when the first one's complete.

This. If you ever order parts to have as spares, more often than not it will turn into a full rifle lol.
