Does anyone out there have some sites that they like for upper and lowers. I am planning on going with a free floating barrel and I am building on the 5.56 platform. Any input or ideas are greatly appreciated.

The thousand dollar question: How much do you want to spend?
I just bought a complete upper and lower for $503. But I'm a tightwad.
I got alot of good info here.

Well, he didn't provide a budget. He asked for ideas.

Sorry for the delay, I'm overall looking to spend at MOST 1500. Pretty much doing my best to set up as close to the IAR Platform as I can. I shot the IAR 2 weeks ago as part of a fielding group with the Marine Corps. It's so sweet, I'll try to post some pics when I get home

no shite!
not trying to be a dick, but you will not find anything remotely close to an M27 for 1500. i mean, platform-wise, sure, but performance-wise, nah. h&k and lwrc are extreme top of the line firearms for a reason which is why their price tags all look like misprints. not to mention that attaining a rifle capable of around 1000 rpm is a challenge in itself.

eta- i would like to see the pics/vids though whenever you get around to posting them.

Ok, but if you're going big, 6.8 spc makes more sense. I'd go either 7.62x39 or 6.8. Blackout's a 'tweener.
