Finished the AR a bit ago.

Nice build...... you had some pretty expensive parts just laying around the house.

He stated that the flash hider was pinned and welded on. Once this is done the barrel and muzzle device have become permanently attached and result in a 16" overall length barrel. Therefore it isn't a SBR.

Nice. One day I might do a build but my first AR is going to be fully assembled by Colt so I have a solid point of reference

Is that a 40 round mag?

I didnt have the rail, barrel or BCG laying around. I did have a bunch of other spare parts hanging out that got sold to help me afford some of the other stuff. The upper, lower, stock, and buffer setup were left over from a build I started but just didnt finish. And also the like it was mentioned the 14.5" barrel has a 2.25" flash hider welded to it. I didnt feel like doing the SBR paper work and that is the work around. You just HAVE to make sure that the gas block and barrel and hider and rail and barrel nut are exactly what you want since they wont ever come back off again haha.

There really isnt a good place for reference as far as parts, and it can be very hard to weed through bad information on the net for sure. I would check out weapon outfitters. They always have quality gear. I dont think they sell anything that sucks at all. Ive emailed Roy at weapon outfitters a few times with questions and he is normally very good at replying with great information about quality of gear and things like that.
