    Thank you for the welcomes all!

    I have jumped in the deep end and started my AR build!
    Have opted for the below from NZAR15.com
    Aero Precision Barebones Kit - Includes Upper, Lower, Parts Kits, and BCG.
    CMMG 12.5" 300BLK Barrel
    Pistol Length Gas System

    When I have a couple more $ I will pick up an A-Cat Stock, Magazine and Fore End / Hand guard.
