2 months ago when I bought all my Magpul furniture it was either black or desert. I wanted OD too, looks like its near impossible to come across.

Forgot to post the link to the barrel. Yeah, I'm sacrificing a little bit on a 1.5MOA barrel, but I have GOT to get this thing running. This barrel will do until I can get better components. Yes, buy once, cry once, but with the unknown certainties of the government looming, I gotta finish it while it's still legal.
No, but they can scare the living crap out of people and they are still panic-buying.
I researched the barrel..there were some 1", but the most common was around 1.5.
One of the guys (can't find the link again to save my life) was sent this barrel directly from JoeBob to test. JB still won't divulge who makes them, but I haven't heard any downright negative reviews. It'll shoot, and right now I'm not trying to send rounds 400m downrange, so it'll do for now. I've got to re-orient myself to this platform. Last "AR" I shot was an M16 at Ft Leonard Wood in 03. My unit got M4s about the time I got out.
I don't like the STR, and I'm still not convinced the CTR is "mo bettah" than the MOE.
While pricey I have to throw the UBR out there. Rock solid and an awesome stock. A little heavy though.
As far as finding a BCG goes, I would post a WTB ad on arfcom or m4carbine and I'm sure if you add that it's for your work gun that someone would cut you a deal. Just yesterday someone sold me a bushmaster BCG for $150 shipped because I put on my add I'm a student and can't afford $200+ price gougers (which is the truth). I'm on m4carbine btw and not arfcom.
Just got my email saying my barrel has shipped...I CAN'T FRIGGIN WAIT!!!!!
I talked to Kelly 2 days ago, and I think I'm going to ride down there once I get all of my missing parts so he can help me put this thing together.
Already had the pMag, but I got me an OD Ergo and the OD MOE handguard in the mail today.
:hihi::w00t::fufu:kewl:
I peeked at her first post and looks like she's going with carbine length.
I asked about optic or irons because I have a colt carry handle that I'm not using, and would get you a heck of a deal on if you needed something since I know you said you're on a tight budget. If you are going RDS or something I'll throw out that primary arms has THIS in stock every now and then. My brother bought one and it seems to be of pretty good quality, especially considering the price. The only other RDS I've used that would be considered a "budget" one is the vortex strikefire- which I really liked. I prefer the green dot over the red, so that hit the spot.
Hell yeah!
So, are you complete now or still lacking parts?
I presume you need a gas block, gas tube, front forend holder, and delta ring? Or do you already have some of those?
I need all of those. I can't find gas tubes in stock anywhere!!!!! I thought I ordered a delta ring when I made my small parts order the other day, but I guess it didn't make it into the cart. Can't figure out which gas block to get (0.75" I know) if I'm going to try to mount a FSB.
Oh, I need a comp/brake, too.
