I will buy some spare parts. I will also do another ar15 build in the future. I'm not looking for anything fancy for the 1st time. Just gonna see if it works.
They are pretty fun, and oddly addicting. Got the beginnings of 3 builds right now.

For my first build 16 inches or 20 inch barrel?They are pretty fun, and oddly addicting. Got the beginnings of 3 builds right now.

I shoot irons with my dads COLT SP1.In my opinion you should start the learning process with Iron Sights. Once you've got a grip on those, then move to scopes, red dots and whatever other junk people put on their rifles. The 20" is an iron sighted dream to shoot and you'll build a strong foundation of marksmenship.
The 16" is a good trade off between 20" and the 14.5" of the M4. I carried the 20" A2 for the majority of my service, I can say with 100% certainty, I don't miss that extra length.
But definately keep up the iron sight skills.
It will be a flat top AR and I'll be mounting back up iron sights and a 2 MOA Acog scope. So the 20?
I will go with the 20 inch. I'll just build another in 16 inch.Here's my thoughts, if you have to ask us, you should think about it a little more and hold a few more of the different types. If you do that, you'll be making sure that you're happy with what you purchase. It really comes down to preference in this case because you trading off a longer sight radius with a little more FPS for ease of movement. What's looks better is also something you have to decide for yourself.

I've been infected? WHATS THE CURE?I think that's what they call "Black Rifle Disease", LOL
Ok then. I'll go with the 16 inch. I want a m4 style collapsable stock. I want the Brady bunch and the hippies from commiefornia to crap themselves in terror when they see this rifleBe sure to get the proper buffer for the 20". Once you get to building them you will quickly understand what I mean by technical. They are easy to put together, but can be tricky to get running perfectly when experimenting with different configurations. To keep it simple, run a fixed stock with the 20".
ACOG is an excellent optic.

Guns today lead to crimminals tromorrow.They would do that over a pop gun
Well, with my lower on the way and the remaining kit one sale on midway away, the only thing left would any AR specific hand tools. I don't think theres anything else I'm going to need since I have a pretty good assortment of hand tools, but anyone know of anything I might be missing?
