Having just completed my AR build, I wanted to share with others what went into mine to potentially help inspire your own build. My intention was to put together a budget SPR/DMR that will serve as my bench rest AR but will also remain lightweight and agile enough to be used on the move.
Roughly a $1500 total cost.
Eventually a suppressor will be added to complete the build.
In case you're interested in any of the parts used, I will list them below with links(if available)

Do you like the Stark grip?
Do you like the ergos of it now that your rifle is built,
I am interested in the integral finger gaurd and wether it is a pro or con,
I like the idea.

I would definitely recommend the Stark grip.
It has a good grip angle and the built in trigger guard was a nice bonus.
 
It's interesting you went cheap on many of the components and spent a metric bubblegumton on others.
I can't deny there's some budget stuff thrown in there.
I have different levels of trust depending on what type of product it is. Especially knowing that many are built in the same place anyways, despite certain brand prestige.

Doing extensive research via reviews and videos is how I will finally choose an item. Often after weeks of looking.

Having a bipod that is 2-4 times the price, for example, does not always guarantee better results or longevity.
 
Haha thankfully not. I'm certainly cautious when putting those pins in as I've heard many stories of it happening,

Similar to scratching up your lower near the bolt catch upon install. Use the right tool.
Oh NO a marred finish! What ever will I do with a scratched rifle???

Oh right... shoot it anyway.
