I've been wanting an ar-15 for awhile and now just finally have enough play money to build something nice. Now here is what I have got so far: Spike's Tactical lower receiver with Daniel Defense LPK. Could you guys recommend me some good high quality complete upper? There's just too many options lol.
I'm currently building myself a 10.5" Rock River Arms SBR. With the ATF tax, quad free float rail, tactical latch, smith vortex flash hider, front and rear Magpul MBUS, and 6 Magpul PMAGS it'll come out to a little over $1,400 for everything, which is a damn good deal. RRA makes some pretty good stuff.
That's a nice looking lower you got there by the way.

lol the ATF tax is around 200 right? What is your opinion on the RRA complete upper kit (it includes the charge handle/BCG/barrel/handguard)? I've been hearing mix reviews on the gas piston system so I'm still thinking about it.

I prefer to not have an out of the box rifle, since I like to learn about all the parts that goes into it. If it ever have problems, I can diagnose it and not have some overpaid armory guy working on it.

Yep, the tax is 200. I already had a RRA complete rifle and it performs flawlessly as long as you take care of it and feed it good ammo just like you should any rifle.
In all honesty, the gas pistons are nice, but the price doesn't really justify it. I clean my guns after every trip to the range so something that will keep my gun a little cleaner is not worth 2-3x the price.

Very true, I just went ahead and ordered the RRA upper with the 16" wilson barrel. Thanks for the help!!!

Change that handguard!! I think ur doing that soon Looking pretty good so far! Im not sure I like the red labeling. You need a Surefire, and a sick Site... And rail guide/rail mount system.
+1 get a free floating quad rail. They have some Yankee Hill ones on gunbroker for about $100.
Building my first ar-15.
