Hey guys, this might be sort of a redundant question, but on the plus side it doesn't invole slide fire stocks or the best cheapest non-restricted black rifle 
lol. I've decided to build an AR slowly, mainly because it's easier for me to spend a little periodically, and plus I like to tinker with everything I own so I'm sure I will appreciate the build. It will be my first AR. So far I've ordered an Aero lower, just to get the ball rolling. I'm looking to go build something fairly high quality, but slightly budget concious, if I had to break it down, I would say I can;t afford a Noveske, but I don't want a Norc (nothing personally against Norc). It's just going to be a fun range gun, I would just like something with a nice fit and finish, respectable accuracy, and reliable obviously. I'll most likely go with an Aero upper as well, and the general consensus seems to be they are great products for the money (unless someone wants to tell me otherwise). Any thoughts on barrel manufacturers? I was thinking an SJ Hardware as I've always been happy with their other products and service, and price, but again, open to suggestions.
I'm kind of stuck on a length. For my first AR project, is there a length you guys would recommend, or recommend against? I've always had a chub for PDW pic thread, and I tend to like the look of the 10.5/11.5 carbine lengths as well. My general thinking is, if it's going to restricted anyway, might as well keep it short. But that being said, I am aware of velocity loss and signature the shorter barrels produce. The 11.5" seems like a good compromise? I know some people say the shorter bbl's may be harder to get running properly, but it seems that is usually solved by purchasing the correct parts from the start. Again, completely open to ideas, opnion, and experiences!
Any preference to LPK's? Seems to be alot of DPMS kits in stock at various retailers.
