What have I left out and need optic help

[chazthebiker]

Thank you to all on this forum. I have never built an AR platform rifle and have gotten lots of knowledge (for starting out) lurking and reading posts here. This forum has been invaluable to me as I am sure it is to many others. Again, thank you!

I'll be starting my build next month and think I have cobbled together everything I need. I have it all except for the handguard and rail covers. Here's the list:

1. Mega Billet Upper / Lower Receiver set. Rainier (upper has forward assist and dust cover already)
2. Mega Billet Charging Handle (came with receivers). Rainier
3. Stainless Steel LPK from Aim Surplus (don't know the brand)
4. Mega Tactical Trigger from Rainier
5. Noveske 16.1" Recon Stainless Barrel 1:7 twist from Rainier
6. Noveske Mid-length gas tube from Noveske
7. M-16 Bolt Carrier Assembly from Larue Tactical
8. Mil-Spec Receiver Extension kit from Larue Tactical
9. Rainier Arms Xtreme Tactical Compensator from Rainier
10. Troy Folding Sight Combo from Larue Tactical
11. Magpul UBR Stock from Larue (OD Green)
12. Magpul MIAD pistol grip from Rainier (OD Green)
13. Magpul P-mags x 5 (OD Green)
14. Noveske QD End Plate from Noveske (Have since found out I cannot use this with the Magpul UBR Stock: extra parts!)
15. Larue 13.2 Rail from Larue Tactical
16. XTM Rail Covers (10 pkgs) from Larue Tactical (Black & OD Green)


Also need to pick an optic, but I won't be doing that until near Christmas time.
It has been hard to figure out which Optic to eventually get. Really like the Trijicons and have my heart set on their 6x48 with the red chevron. Interested in long range shooting. Also, has anyone sent their rifle out to have a custom camo or other type of finish applied and can make a good recommendation? 7.62 Precision maybe?

Does anyone see any fitting problems with the above parts? I think I read somewhere that the Larue Rail setup has trouble fitting to the Mega Billet upper, but can't find the post. Anyone heard this? (CONFIRMED: Can still use the rails, but not the "Keeper".)

Thanks for everything... including my bad case of BRD. Will post pictures as the build progresses.
