Default Input needed on upcoming AR/Competition Build

Ok, so I am wanting to get some input from y'all on my next AR build. Here is what I am looking at:

Spikes Tactical Lower
Spikes Tactical Upper
Spikes Tactical BCG
Daniel Defense 16" Hammer Forged M4 Barrel 5.56

Daniel Defense Lite Rail (can't decide between 7", 9", 10" ... I am thinking that I dont want much of the barrel exposed, but then again I don't want to add too much weight either)

Battle Arms Ambi Safety

Arredondo Oversize Mag Release

Dueck Defense Offset Sights

Magpul B.A.D. Lever

Magpul AFG2
Aimpoint CompML3
Larue RISR (depending on stock)
Surefire M95 w/ Larue Mount
SJC Titan Comp

As far as my gas tube, I have been using DPMS tubes religiously but I am thinking that I might switch that up. I'm still up in the air as far as the stock goes. I'm trying to decide between the Magpul UBR and the Ace Socom (which I have an extra one laying around the house, so that would save some money there). And I'm also stuck trying to decide between a Geiselle Single Stage and a Jard Non Adjustable trigger system. Anyone have any suggestions, changes, or input? Thanks

Dont get the offset sights since you are going to be running a red dot, just get BUIS, they will weight less. The longer the rail, the longer sight radius, with irons, you will have there for, it will be more accurate so to speak. If you really want off set sights, look into other companies, surefires are 10 dollars cheaper, and I have seen sets for about 129

If you are going to run 3 gun with it, get the a 1-4 scope or the x3 magnifier for the aimpoint. Skip the light, you won't need it unless you do night shoots.

It won't be used exclusively for shooting matches, will also be an all around fun gun/pig gun when out on horseback, and that is more what the light is for.

I already have the 3x magnifier for the Aimpoint and that is what I was planning on using, which is also why I was thinking that it would be faster to cant my firearms then to release my grip to reach up and drop the magnifier out of the way.

I have a three gun match coming up in three weeks join me and see what people are running there. I know one person that is going to be running BCM upper with a lot of the Magpul products, im still debating on Spikes Tactical or BCM but leaning heavily towards Spikes. Plus on my AR I am running the Daniel Defense Omega 7 rail with the socom buttstock

I have it totaled to about $1600 in parts atm, but I am considering building an 18" version as well in the $2000 range.

So budget ... not so worried
