I've put together & modified a few ARs and always wanted an SBR, but I'm unwilling to jump through the hoops and pay the tax stamp fee to get one. I've never been interested in AR pistols either because I didn't see the point to them. That changed with the Sig arm brace ATF letter, so when Sig put their Spartan 11.5" upper on sale a few weeks ago, I thought I'd give it a shot.
What I've got so far and what's on order:

***There's a BCM BCG in the picture. I was going to use that until I discovered the Lantac enhanced BCG while looking around here. I've got one on order, and will save the BCM BCG for a future .300 Blackout build.***
Rock River lower
Sig Sauer M400 upper, 11.5” barrel chambered in 5.56, 1/7 twist
BCM enhanced LPK with PNT trigger assembly
Lantac enhanced AR15/M16 bolt group
Lantac RPS (WEVO group buy)
Radian Raptor charging handle, FDE
Midwest Industries Pistol Buffer Tube
JP tuned & polished extra power buffer spring
BCM H2 Carbine buffer
BAD AR15/M16 Enhanced Pin Set
BAD AR15/M16 Enhanced Mag Release Button
SB Tactical SBM4 arm brace, FDE
Magpul MOE-K2 grip, FDE
Magpul MOE trigger guard, FDE
Magpul front & rear BUS, poly, Black
BCMGUNFIGHTER KAG angled foregrip, FDE *OR* Magpul AFG2, FDE
BCM Keymod aluminum rail sections, various lengths
Magpul MS4 Dual QD sling
INFORCE WMLx, FDE *OR* OLIGHT PL-2 Valkyrie, Black
I already had the Rock River lower, so that's what I used. I'm certainly not a fan of the strange maroon/brown/whatever-the-hell color the upper is. And I've already noticed the finish seems to be coming off just from installing & removing the poly Magpul BUS:

While I'm disappointed in the durability of the finish, it doesn't matter. I'm taking the upper & lower to a local shop that does Cerakote and gonna get them done in FDE. I'll leave the barrel, dust cover, FA, and fore end mounting screws black. Together with the rest of the controls being black (except the trigger, which is nickel), that should make a nice two-tone contrast.
I'm up in the air about which light and which red dot sight I should use. I've got an OLIGHT PL-2 Valkyrie thats nice & compact & very bright (they claim 1200 lumens, seems to have a very slight edge in brightness over my TLR-1 HL), but I really like the looks of the INFORCE WMLx in FDE. As for a red dot, I'm torn between an Aimpoint PRO and a Micro T1.
