Thats a nice gun you've got there. I've been thinking about putting one together for myself. I was thinking maybe a del-ton upper and a spikes lower. Although I don't know enough yet to be partial to anything. I've got to get on the ball though, and get it before 2012. And the impending ZPAW.

A word of advice.... stay away from Del-ton, there's a reason they cost a lot less.
Spikes is good to go.

See, now that's the first negative thing I've heard about del-ton. Now dpms, that's a whole other story. But I'm glad to have the advice. I might just step it up a notch and go with the stag like the op did. I am very partial to keeping my brains.

I've heard very good things about DPMS actually, and Stag is a really good brand as well.
Do some searches around here in the rifles section and you'll find a lot of info about different AR manufacturers.

The ones that I have personal experience with are Bushmaster, Rock River, Spikes. All were very good and reliable brands.
I've sold all of them and currently own 2 Spikes AR's if that tells you anything.

Other good brands would be:
Noveske
Bravo Company (BCM)
Lewis Machine & Tool (LMT)
CMMG
YHM
there's others out there but they're slipping my mind right now.
