I'm thinking of building an AR for my first centerfire to act as a general utility rifle: mostly plinking duty, but capable of social work if necessary; I'd probably take a class or two with it. Part of why I got thinking about AR's in the first place is the price of the Del-Ton kits; the thought of a basic AR for under $600 is very tempting. I don't know too much about the various AR manufacturers, though, so I have a few questions for you guys.
Would I be fine with the Del-Ton mid-length kit with a lightweight barrel on the Surplus Arms stripped lower? I'd likely go with the standard options and only upgrade eventually; i.e., when I have the cash for a MagPul UBR and an Aimpoint (I already ordered a Troy grip). Or would it be a good idea to get the full kit except for the BCG and buy an M16-spec one from LMT or BCM?
