Hey Folks
I am in hte process of figuring how I am going to buoild my upper and I have a few things I need help with so I dont order the wrong items. Here is a list of what I am looking at for the upper.
Barrel...?
Upper Reciever....?
BCG....?
Chrg Handle...?
Handguard....Midwest Industries t-12 12" with trim ring
Sights....Magpul MBUS front and rear
Flash Suppressor....YHM Phantom
Gas Block.....YHM Low profile
This is what I am going for
[Broken External Image]
Can I achieve this with only a midlength barrel or can it be done with the m4 contour barrel. I was wondering if the cut away would be visable or if it would be covered with the handguard?
I came across some BCG's that have a cerakote finish and skulls on them. They look cool, but how functional is the cerakote?

Will I be able to complete this build with an armorers wrench or do I need the handguard wrench also. I have tons of tools in the garage, just looking for anything specific that I may need.
Any advice on upper recievers? I am not trying to build this AR as cheap as possible, just wisely. Its my first and I want to build it the way that I want it, but I dont want to waste money on products that are more expensive just because of a name brand. I would rather put that money into ammo. I just want an upper that has a good finish and is well made.
Other than the parts listed will I need anything else? I have finished my lower already. I saw talk about a barrel extension and m4 feed ramps.
Any other info would be greatly appreciated.
