Ok, here It Is. My M4 style, AR15 carbine that I built myself after buying all the parts. This rifle first started out as a post ban A2 using a Model 1 Sales parts kit, built on a DPMS lower. Once the AWB bill was no longer the law of the land, I rebuilt the rifle to the way If always wanted my AR15 to be, a M4 style rifle as close to the Military verison as possible but still with the features I wanted.

Here's what we got so far:

DPMS Lower Receiver
DPMS M4 Upper Receiver
DPMS M4 14.5 chrome lined barrel, 1 x 9 twist with Bushmaster Phantom 5 flash suppressor permanently attach
DPMS M4 stock
Bushmaster Complete Bolt & Carrier Assembly
Model 1 Sales Lower Receiver parts kit
Rock River Arms M4 handguards

Mine will basically be the same as yours, with a few changes:

DSA Lower
RRA Lower parts kit
Ergo Pistol grip
RRA stock
CA Stock saddle
Magpul trigger guard

DPMS Upper Assembly (14.5" barrel and all that)
DPMS Bolt and Bolt Carrier
DPMS Charging handle
YHM Phantom FH perma-attached

Two cheap accessories that I would highly recommend:
Magpul Trigger guard (so you can shoot with gloves in case you ever decide to shoot when it's cold)
Command Arms stock saddle (is made to hold CR123a batteries, and looks kinda like the LMT SOCOM stocks, but it also DRASTICALLY improves cheek weld, plus it just looks cool.

Together these should cost you more than like $40 shipped. Brownells has both.

Oh, and just in case your upper and lower have a little play in them, rather than being solid-as-a-rock, check out the "Accu Wedge", also on brownells.com.

Thanks for reply and the Information about the products. My upper an lower fit solid as a rock, probably to solid, I have a vary happy time getting the take down pins to come out so I can field strip the weapon. I'm going to start putting a light coat of Otis ultra bore clp around the take down pins each time I field strip my rifle. I understand this problem should go away after the rilfe has been fired alot.
