AR Recommendation?

Thank you all for the advice, much appreciated.

So it’s true that Colt is back making carbines for the civilian market? Very interesting. If that is the case, I would simply reuse the entire lower and the BCG, trigger, etc. and get a custom upper.

I have been thinking about the upper and would like a 14.5” pinned and welded pencil barrel with A2 flash hider or other high efficiency flash hider (I need to research what is the most effective flash hider), and with carbine length gas system and I would prefer a flat top front sight block instead of the traditional A frame style. It would have a flip up front BUIS.

I would like a free floated extra lightweight handguard of some kind, either skeletonized aluminum or carbon fiber. Carbine length obviously, The only thing I’d add to it is a Surefire M300 light. The upper would house an Aimpoint H2 micro red dot and mount plus a BUIS rear. I’d be using a 2-point sling so some type of sling mount for the front.

The reason I am set on a standard GI style lower and GI controls is I have experience and regularly use a Colt 6920 at my employment and want to keep all controls and the trigger feel, stock weld, etc. etc. as close to that as possible.

I feel I will need to find a qualified builder to make this “dream upper” for me and need to do a lot of homework on barrel manufacturers, handguard options, etc.
