I've decided to start down the path of building my first AR. I haven't put any money down for anything yet since this will be a long term project but I think it would be a good idea to have my proposal picked over by the INGO collective before I drop down the dough.
That said, my intent is for this to be more "CQB" oriented (0-100 yards) since the longest range I currently have available is 100 yards anyway. I plan on skipping any optic for now so I can force myself and my wife to learn to work with the iron sights.
*EDIT*
I got really good feedback on the lower and the BCM complete upper I was looking at. I'll keep those in mind and compare back and forth. However, thanks to Seedubs1 I'm giving serious thought to building my own upper around an Odin .223 Wylde lightweight barrel and PSA Premium BCG.
