Hello, this is my second post for this after putting in some more research. I'm putting together a list of parts for an AR-15. My only concerns with it are that its fun to shoot (light), and if I ever REALLY needed it, it would be dependable. Really what I'm needing help with is the upper and hand guard. (and whatever else i haven't noticed is wrong)
Currently on my list I have a 11.5" Faxon Barrel, which I picked because of the weight. I can't find anything lighter at this length, I'm told 10.5 un-suppressed isn't worth it. Also the price is good.
My hand guard and upper are both from Aero Precision. I picked that one because of all the other companies I looked at were significantly more expensive, with the only benefit I should see being a closer match to my barrel length. The Aero hand guard only has 9" and 12" options. No experience building yet so I cant tell which of the two will look less stupid.
Also the titanium BCG might cost more than it benefits. Seems like a good place to spend though.
So, any advice as to a lighter upper and hand guard that will fit together well, with each other and the barrel, would be greatly appreciated. (And whatever else is a bad idea)
