First AR...Thoughts?
So I am getting ready to put together my first AR (I got a case of BRD) and just wanted to see what some of the "pros" thought.

MEGA lower and upper (with M4 cuts)


RRA LPK with 2-stage trigger
Ergo grip

Vltor Modstock

YHM 16" diamond fluted barrel

YHM Free float hand guard

LMT BCG

so what do you guys think?
I am trying to build this on a budget, and I am not looking for sun MOA groups, just a reliable AR.

Looks like a good start. I really like that barrel.

I have the Ergo grip and YHM LW FF on mine, I'd say you'll love the grip and your off to a great start.

Has anyone heard anything on the YHM barrels? Based on what I have read on ar15.com they are Wilson blanks and should be good, but no first hand experience. Any thoughts?

thanks

I have a YHM light weight rail on one of my carbines. If I had to do it over, I'd go with something else.

Most VFGs will not stay on the rails because of the notches and rail panels were damn near impossible to get on.

Are you getting all the stuff from the gun dealer? Or just ordering off websites?

Luckily I work with Darrel from D9Firearms. He is working with me to get what I have listed above,as well as assisting on the assembly process as this is my first build.
