In my own little ar world I have a parts ranking checklist of most important (no compromise on quality) to least important (compromises can be made)
Whats the order?

So what's my next step? Go ahead and start shopping for uppers or wait until I get the lower assembled first?

How should I break down the upper parts as far as purchase order goes?

1. Bolt
2. Barrel
3. Lower/upper (got to make sure to go with a company that is known to have everything in spec)
4. Fire Control group, usually Geissele or ALG (I have been building from parts kits that leave the trigger and buffer tube assemby out so I have that choice and save money)
5. Magazines
6. Red Dot and iron sights
7. Rail system
8. Buffer tube/stock assembly
9. lower parts kit (pins and detents are all basically the same)

Choice of stock and accessories is up to the end user.
