      Agree, Bryon is exactly $100 cheaper on the ACC Element but by the time I pay (assuming) $50 for transfer and $25 for shipping and I get my local guy to come down a bit it comes out to about a $20-$25 difference. On that can, not worth the minimal savings ( i try to support my local guy when I can) plus the addition 3-4 weeks for the dealer to dealer Form 3 transfer time.

      Now on the 7.62 can I'm looking at, the difference may be enough to justify buying through MM.

        mike, I bought a sdn-6 from MM and when I figure in all the cost, he blew away anyone in houston. I basically got the muzzle device for free..

          Ok everyone I am new to the thread but I am building an AR and would like your thoughts.
          Lower: Magpul MOE stock in dark earth, Plumb crazy stripped lower, dark earth pistol grip(not sure which kind yet), magpul pmag in dark earth and a standard trigger.
          Upper:
          Wilson 6.8 spc II 16" stainless barrel, some type of quad rail(don't know which to get?), and I think I am going to top it with a leupold 4-12x40 mark I. So what do yall think?
          PS future add ons will be: Muzzle brake, RRA two stage trigger(cant think of any now im sure I will think of some later)

            I would stay away from the quad rail, too heavy. I would stick with something like the Troy battlerail.....personally I'd go with the 13" over a lopro gas block because I don't like having alot of barrel exposed and with a suppressor on the end it looks more balanced with the longer barrel. They make them in 7",9",11", or 13", so you can get it however you want and put 2", 3.2", 4.2", or 5.4" where you need them instead of having the extra weight of a full 4-rail handguard. Below is the link to the 13" version. Other than that it looks like you'll have a good setup. Ofcourse the latest cartridge choice seems to be 300BLK over the 6.8, but they do different things, if you ever want to go quiet you might want to look at 300BLK over 6.8, but 6.8 is a great cartridge in it's own right. I also like 300BLK because it will work in 5.56 magazines, whereas 6.8 requires it's own magazines, just one less thing to stock pile and keep track of which magazines go with which caliber.

              Wow, don't know why I haven't noticed this thread before, I am in the process of building an AR right now! So far all I have done is put the stag arms parts kit in a spikes tactical lower

                I was thinking about using the troy battle rail but wasn't sure, I think I will now though!

                  If you're not in a hurry, sign up for emails on Troy's website. They email out coupon codes from time to time. I picked up one on a Cyber Monday deal for 25% off and free shipping.

                    My roomate has one on his 6.8 and I have a quad rail. The weight difference is significant

                      Im not in to much of a hurry but im having someone else buy it for me at a discounted price and they are building the AR for me. Thanks for the suggestion though.

                                Do yall have room for a ".223 Bushy Tottin' Rookie" decked out in Magpul skins???

                                Mines still fairly stock, added a Magpul stock, handguard, and grip last weekend, along with a mess of pmags filled with Z-Max, topped off with an el cheapo 6x24x42 scope...

                                It seems to work great for hogs, zombies, and milk juggs....
