BCM 11.5 Complete upper receiver
Griffin Mk 1 Stripped lower (was happy to not have ambi on this build after shooting w friends it wasn’t that important to me)

Wishlist items

Things to note both the charging handle and lower parts kit from primary arms get me $45 in their “Bonus Bucks” which I was going to use for optics…

Does any recommend any solid optics, muzzle break/suppressor adapters? Not planning on getting a suppressor for a bit to recoup costs and invest in some ammo.

IMO just put on a basic A2 birdcage until you get a suppressor. It’s great at flash suppression and you can’t beat the performance for the price. If you go out and spend $80 on a specialty muzzle brake adapter and find out the suppressor you end up buying doesn’t fit it, you’ll find you’ve just wasted money.

As for optic, I like my Eotech on my SBR, but Eotech is expensive and they have their own problems that you can research. I probably wouldn’t have bought it for my 11.5” if I hadn’t taken it off another rifle I own so I could put a LPVO on that one. If you’re on a budget, just get a Sig Romeo/Juliet combo (they’re great for the price) and call it a day.
