I don't have any drool worthy pics yet, but I've started down the path to doing my first AR build. I'm on the list for a Shadow Ops lower and have arranged to purchase a complete Daniel Defense upper in 300 Blackout with a 10.3 barrel. My mid-term plan is to use build the rifle in pistol configuration and eventually put together paperwork to make it a registered SBR after I make sure the lower will work well with the upper. The really long term plan is to get a suppressor for it eventually too. I wanted another AR in a heavier caliber and liked the interchangeability of parts and mags between the 5.56 and 300 (especially since we will soon be restricted on buying mags).

Does anyone have any tips or hints for what seems to me to be an ambitious project for a newb?
