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.

Maybe Obama will buy it for me since he doesn't have to pay my mortgage? That was quite fun to play with other than the final cost.

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.)
