I think my upper is pretty much completed. Only thing left is the sling setup and that really can't be completed until I get the lower. Looking to do a QD system so the gun can be handheld or benched.
Aero Precision upper, 20" FN CHF barrel with low profile gas block, 15" free float key mod hand guard, SD Tactical brake with suppressor QD threads, Vortex Crossfire II scope with cantilever mount, Fortis Shift short angled grip, Harris bipod with QD, charging handle with extended release and a phosphate coated FA BCG.
I will have one of those dust covers.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it.

I have a couple of Velocity trigger systems. Just under 3# trigger pull with a very short reset. One thing I really like about these are the set screws that lock it into the lower.
I'm not familiar with Velocity triggers. I'll have to look into them. At $150 that seems a lot less salty then the prices on the Geissele triggers.
Anybody got any decent leads on a parkerized/blued/dark finished 16 Inch Heavy Barrel? The only thing i can find that isn't stainless so far is Rock River Arms and that is ready as an A2 style assembly and they want $255 for it. I wanted to do a shorter build this time, but heck i think i might just throw another 20 inch Stag Arms heavy barrel on if i can't find anything decent.

What is the secret code for the dust covers?

That there's two really good choices for your first builds. They're super simple to build, and building them is VERY addictive.I plan on building one in a 24" designated marksman type setup and the second will be a A2. Now I just have to learn to build one as all uncle sugar taught us to do was shoot 'em.
