I should get my hands on a 16" rifle and an 18" rifle to see which I'll go with
Purdy!
You're missing a few parts there....

Depends on what kinda work you're gonna do with the rifle. Honestly, there's nothing an 18" can do that a quality 16" can't do. The velocity differences are almost negligent. I have 2 18" SPR's and working on a third, and also have 4 16" guns. I like both, but I don't hump my 18" guns around in the woods. They're for the benchThank you!
yea, yea...trigger and the buffer tube system. Several people say to go with 16" barrel, so gotta figure out what spring and buffer weight will work best.
Shtf and HD
Only thing I need to complete the lower end is the buffer rube, buffer weight, buffer spring, end plate, and stock...
Quick question while testing the firing assembly, when the hammer is up, are you able to switch fire assembly to "safe" position?
It's been many years since I've operated an ar15...
No, you can't put safe on with hammer up. That trigger looks familiar....
If you can swing it, an adjustable gas block is the wqy to go. But if using non-adjustable, then ideally run the heaviest buffer that will still lock the bolt back after last round fired. I run H2's in all my middys and have an H3 in one of my SPR's and it still locks back on wolf ammo.
Looks good
Yeah, Tula and Wolf are a little underpowered. A lot of guys have short stroking issues with those two, but not with quality M193 or M855. I've never had any issues with tula or wolf in any of my AR's. There's several variables that can cause those two to not function well. But anymore, barrel manufacturers make the gas port larger than needed so it's essentially non issueyou make the reference to wolf ammo, is it a weak round?

Can I ask roughly what you spent building this?
