Are Colt's LE style AR's Chromed in the receiver as well? or just the barrel?
From what I understand your best off getting a Colt LE6920 then adding on a Float when you can afford to upgrade it.
Also id imagine id prefer to have a full profile M4 barrel without the notch for the m203...I dont think im ever gunna attach an M203 to it ya know even if things get crazy in this country I highly doubt I'll have one of those or access to ammo for it or does it really not matter anyways?
I don't think it makes sense to put Cr finish on Al receiver. Anodizing it is more common because it will not peel. I am quite ignorant of chemistry, but I know that trying to put chrome on aluminum wheels often ends with peeling. The wear inside the barrel is entirely different, even near a gas port.

The only reason I'm not building is because I don't have any space in the safe anymore. Right, I'm going downtown after this to submit my man card... Seriously though, it sounds like a barrel of fun. But I don't want to sell anything!
