I haven't built a gun before I was just trying to get a parts list together before I started. I would really appreciate it if someone could review my parts list to see if I have left anything out. I have yet to pick out optics that is all that i am aware of that should be left off.

Black Plated Gas Tubes http://yhm.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_12&products_id=391

Also I want a low profile gas block that would be covered by the rail system. Would the Troy BattleRail be long enough to hide the gas block?

Thanks, Bryce

From the looks of it that YHM gas block would fit under the TRX rail.
The thing is why are you getting a upper parts kit? the upper looks assembled. You will still need a lower parts kit, a barrel nut, and tools.

To me it looks like you should just buy a stag rifle and then change a few things from it(the rail, etc.)

Other then the lower parts kit(already stated), if you are not getting the optic right away you will need a set of sights. It might be a good idea to get anyway in case your optic goes down, that way you can still shoot until your optic is back up.

This ^^^
Lotsa Stag parts there.

That 9" rail may not completely cover the carbine gas block.
A tapered front low pro gas block like this might look a little nicer if it's to be exposed.
MI Low Pro GB

YHM makes a "Specter Length" length rail that is supposed to cover the carbine GB
