It's so fun dropping parts in and out to see what works best or design different builds for different purposes. If you want to check mine out, I just put them on my blog: http://gunnoob.blogspot.com/2009/01/ar-15-builder.html I just went crazy with it and built a bunch of different mods.

It'll stick to the end and clip through it a bit. It's really missing some of the better options available through the catalog and site :( @Sven: I noticed if you drop in a barrel with a flash hider/break already on it, you can’t replace it with another one.

This would've been pretty handy a month or two ago before I actually ordered all my parts! http://www.larueprofiler.com/Profiler.html LaRue's uses only products available from the site, so some of my favorite stuff (the YHM smooth forearms for example) isn't available. With the Brownells catalog I can see this concept going a long way though! LaRue has one of these too, called the “tactical weapon profiler”.

Cool find. (Operation7 is a online first-person shooting game where you actually use a similar process to set up one's long guns before buying them, although it uses an upper/lower receiver joined together as the weapon's Body.)
