Totally in awe, what a great read, thanks!
My two cents, way back when the Marlin Camp 9 and 45 were news, Shooting Times ran an article and their finding was the longer barrel did indeed raise the velocity of the 9mm, however, the velocity of the .45 was slightly decreased over their shorter barreled counterparts. I seem to remember either Skeeter or Bart Skelton penned the article.

He then pointed at a LTR or was it a POF, wasn't a POS. He then stated his PG BM UAW had a RDIAS, and it wasn't NFA but he was LEO so it didn't matter even if we where in the PRK. I wanted to get out of there because everyone know that LGS's spread FUD and I wanted out before SHTF and they started TEOTWAWKI. Didn't want to get into it because I like my RKBA and explaining the law to a LEO is a PITA, this maybe TIA, but IIRC YMMV.

It usually takes at least 100 posts in the AR forum!

Yeah, I'm still pretty new here lol. I decided about 3 months ago I wanted a few more guns than I had, chose a few calibers and wanted to build an AR. Then everything went down hill with the CT shooting and I pretty much can't now

Are there any absolutely terrible brands of AR stuff to stay away from? On the flip side, what's considered the "ferrari" of AR parts here?

Stay away from
Vulcan, Hesse, Blackthorne. Red X and Rguns have a pretty horrible reputation.
Ferrari? Um how about just good stuff. Colt, Bravo Co. (BCM), Daniel Defense, Vltor, Noveske, Rainier Arms, Troy, LaRue, Knights Armaments (KAC), Lewis Machine and Tool (LMT), Palmetto State Armory (PSA), Spike's Tactical....the list goes on.
Really, there are too many vendors out there. If you don't believe me check out this list....
http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f20/list-ar15-manufacturers-65666/
there are definately more too.

Is this a good place to ask questions about someone's first AR build? Or is there a thread just for that? Or should I start my own thread with details of how it will be used?

I would use the search option for this forum to see what you can find, and also start your own thread.  By starting your own thread you will be subscribed to it, and it will also make easier for you to track it If you should have a need.
