I stumbled across this awesome rifle while browsing the internet. Can anyone help me to break it down?? Manufacture, and some of the accessories, etc.
Thanks a bunch!

See if you can come up with a larger picture...this one is a little small.

What makes it so awesome, if you don't know what it is?

It's hard to pull out details in that photo. It appears to be some type of M4 variant, maybe an 11.5" Commando type. Fixed rear BUIS, probably a Larue. EOTech (one of the AA models). Magpul CTR stock. Magpul Pmag. Possibly a Daniel Defense flashlight mount, TangoDown pistol grip and VFG.

Is this a rifle that is for sale and you are looking to buy?

No, I'm going to build my own soon and I like the look of this one.

I'm still new to AR's, but I've already learned that basing your choices on looks alone is probably not a good idea. Besides, how do you do know if you're gonna like it? I think anything with a silencer looks awesome though!

No doubt it looks good, but don't try to copy it just yet. If you have little to no experience with AR's, I wouldn't suggest building your first. If you don't know exactly what you are doing, the results can be disastrous as well as costly. Do yourself a favor and buy a "bare-bones" carbine from a reputable manufacturer, learn how to use it, become proficient with it, then decide what upgrades to buy. Resist the temptation to have something that just looks cool because you saw a picture of it. I've seen too many newbies drop all kinds of cash on the "cool guy" gear, slap it on their rail, then not understand how everything works or how to properly use it. An AR can be related to all other types of recreational sports... If you can't golf, a several thousand dollar set of clubs won't make you better. That being said, don't necessarily go on the cheap. Not all AR are created equal (as you will see on this forum). And neither are the upgrades. So invest in a solid rifle, save your dough for the quality upgrades later. You will save yourself plenty of headaches, cash, and a box full of worthless accessories. There is a wealth of info on this site, do your research, ask questions. Plenty of people here are more than willing to point you in the right direction. Cheers.

It's not that I'm not familiar with rifles and guns in general, I've hunted and enjoyed shooting for years. I've just never owned an AR and I'm looking to have a fun project.

A "fun" project for me is not spending 2500 on a setup I ultimately didn't like because I didn't know what I didn't know. Just because you have been shooting for years doesn't really give you an idea what AR setup works for you. Just because I've been driving a Honda for 20 years doesn't mean I know how to drive an F1.

That rifle is an SBR, is that legal in the state you're in? How about the suppressor? Do you know how to go about obtaining NFA items? I would read some of the stickies before you took on this project. When I look at all the AR setups I had from 2001 to 2005, I laugh, because I thought I knew something, but in reality, I didn't know anything. I would just urge you to do some more reading prior to building.

To address the OP's look of the AR, I think Eric has pretty much identified the accessories. They are all in FDE or flat dark earth.

The key (cosmetically) when one is putting all the parts together from different manufacturers is to match the FDE color shade.
