AR-15; AR-10 Recommendations

You guys have been great with the help, and I really like that V-Tac by JP and the JP gas block. Accessory problem solved.

Now, if I order the RRA lower with the standard trigger from eaglefirearms, I believe it is going to cost me $220. A Jewell trigger will be about $200. The Gator upper will run about $895. The V-Tac will cost me $150. Am I missing anything other than the scope and the laser? The total on that package is $1,475. Not terrible.

Again, if I go with the lower and upper purchase, I am seriously thinking about getting the Dedicated Technologies upper in .223 WSSM, .243 WSSM, or .25 WSSM. Probably would got with .223 WSSM, and that upper is $732, so the entire gun would cost me $1,312, but I would like to get the JP gas block for the upper.

Are these guys at all flexible with pricing. For instance, I do not need the hand guard on the Dedicated Technologies upper since I want to use the V-Tac. Would they give me a credit for it? Same goes for the gas block.

How hard is it to put everything together? I don't think I will have a problem putting the upper on the lower, but what about the V-Tac and the gas block. To give you a little back ground on me, none of my guns (shotguns or bolt rifles) have ever been to a smith. I have installed Timney triggers in my Ruger MKII77 and Remington 700 and also installed all the scopes on my rifles. Can I do all these mods myself without having to take the gun to a smith?
