Building a AR15 rifle? - Who makes the best parts?

[NikatKimber]

I have the Hogue grip on mine now, love it. I also have the CTR, and have a YHM rail on order.

ez bake - Now that's feed back! Thanks for the thoughts and comments. I appreciate you

Careful! Don't want his head getting to big!!!

So far the the easy choices for me are:
Magpul PMags
ERGO Pistol Grip (Ambi)
Magpul ACS Stock
Magpul MBUS front and rear sights
Magpul ASAP Ambidextrous Sling Attachment Point
Grip Pod Automatic Tactical BiPod Foregrip
UTG Carbine Quad Rail (or VTAC)

I am also thinking of a complete lower from Rock River Arms or SpikesTactical

Still need some suggestion for a upper with 16" barrel and bolt carrier group.

Thanks y'all

Kill the UTG and you have a good build. Check BCM, http://www.bravocompanyusa.com, for barrels and bolts. I'm a big fan of the ACS, but it's really not a new idea in stock world.

That link should answer most of your questions regarding rifle/parts quality and what to look for. This chart was designed a while ago by a guy who puts many thousands of rounds down range every year, he knows what to look for in a good AR. You can also check out his website www.tacticalyellowviser.com

That said, BCM is probably your best bet as far as quality and affordability go. There is also LWRC, Colt, LMT, Noveske, etc. Spikes makes a good rifle, about on par with Daniel Defense (maybe a little better?).

Get a Colt and you won't wish later that you had.Although others are good, they still aren't COLTS. Boy, this should start some crap! I just have had much better luck starting with the Colts.

That's because you couldn't afford a Noveske and upgrade that crappy Cold warranty (or avoid all their recalls).

That my friend, is how you start some crap (I'm kidding before any of the colt-fanboys get their panties in a wad).

I was waiting on someone to post "the chart".

In before Butt-hurt begins.
