My IRA Armalite will be replacing my other Armalite for now and plan a 300wsm build later when the matching uppers are available.

I'm debating how I want to build it. Pretty sure I'm going to build a 18" lightweight (at least for a 7.62) to complement my 22" JP LRP-07.
Lower: IRA-10 DPMS lower Geissele DMR trigger (might go with JP if I decide to keep it on my LRP) Magpul UMR Stock Magpul MIAD Grip
Upper: Undecided upper, DPMS style, preferably side-charging (wish I could get a JP left side charging but can't) Barrel: Help me here. JP/VTAC Rifle length handguard (might go with mid-length) JP LMOS bolt carrier/assembly JP adjustable gas block LCW Trophy Hunter can (gotta buy local) Glass: undecided. ACOG probably.
Help me decide what barrel to get. Right now I'm considering the following:
Rock Creek 5R 18" ABS wrapping on Rock Creek? JP 18" (I have a JP heat sink on my LRP, it does seem to stay cooler than my buddy's DPMS SASS, but it's a heavier profile)
I'm looking for lightweight, but will be shooting the rifle a lot and so want something that doesn't have much thermal POI drift. Planning on running supressed a lot, I can deal with the 18" + can and don't want to go down to 16" necessarily.
What other barrels should I look at? Is ABS carbon fiber wrapping worth the $ and would it be too fragile? I have a carbon-tensioned 10/22 and love it. Haven't beat it up, so don't know about durability.

2 Armalite ar-10's
I want to make one into a long range shooter for our long range rifle matches out to 900yds. I was thinking
Lower: Magpul PRS Ergo grip with palm shelf Jewell Trigger
Upper: Armalite A4 upper Noveske 20 barrel Have not decided on handgaurd or bipod.
I am kind of stuck. I have the A4 upper comming. I talked to Iron Ridge and they said they were about 9 months out on their uppers. I Might use the A4 for a 16" build on the other lower and wait for the Iron ridge uppers for the long gun.
I am going to talk to Iron Ridge about their coating for my other parts.
Still thinking

Hey Y'all
I just got my DPMS LR308 AP4. I added a Nikon 3-9X40MM Prostaff scope.
What Harris bi-pod should I get? Also, I have been reading posts about triggers. Is this something I should invest in now or later and what trigger should I get?

I talked to Dave on Friday 2/06/09 and they have been swamped with orders. I am fairly high on the list for Armalites, and he said it would be about 2-3 weeks.
He also said they were about 9 months out on uppers.

I sent my uppers in to them early this week. I talked to Dave on Thursday 2/19/09 and he said my uppers and lowers should be coated and ready to ship either Friday 2/20/09 or Monday 2/23. I will post some pictures as soon as I recieve them.
