A couple things to help those in the same spot I was a year ago:
JP captured buffer. Just do it, I can not say enough about how happy I am with this. Do you need it, no. Does it smooth things out, YES!
MRA parts. I have the pencil profile, shoots one hole at 25m - not conclusive at all but encouraging. The MRA comp, hell yea, as good or better than my JP, which was pretty dam effective. Handguard fit, its so minor as to not really notice. My goal was to go as Canadian as possible with the build and am super happy with the results.
Light weight BCG. Holly #### what a bunch of BS around these. People warned me that this was not the way to go and I am sure glad I ignored them. With a superlative adjustable gas block, it honestly feels like a .22 and is the smoothest, flattest shooting AR I have ever shot.
Thanks everyone for contributing and THANKS ATRS!
