Hi guys after selling my bushy i decided to build a new AR , this time i opted for a flat top. I bought all the upper parts and placed a complete lower dpms on layaway. The upper will be a Rock River Arms flat top receiver, my barrel is a wilson BBL 20" and the rest is just parts that my dealer help me picked out mostly regular ar parts, I just probably get a regular handguard on this build bec the ones with the rails are pricey..here are some pics..

Uh where's the delta ring?

Yah i'm still waiting for that delta ringmy dealer ordered it already so it should show up next week..But the good news he was able to find an old handguard i think its from an M16, it only cost me $10 and i like the way it looks nowI am just surprise how easy it is build an upper, as long as you have the parts they are just like a 1911, here is the updated pics..

I see your going retro. Shoulda went with the A2 upper though in that case.

So far so good.

Looks good. I am just getting into ar building and taking a break from the ak kits. I just have a hard time buying tools to build another gun since I could build all of the ones for my ak and ar's are much much more expensive than an ak. I could build 4-5 ak's for the price of one ar.

It should be way easier than a 1911. You have to fit/file a 1911 to make it work safely. Torquing to spec and a bit of headspacing is all you should have to do to an AR.

Nice work so far - be sure to take some finished photos.
