At some point I'd really like nightvision but it may not be in my budget at first....roughly $1k to start. In referencing the AR Download page I see a lot of manufacturer specific info but not a lot on "build it this way for this purpose" . Thought I'd check with the community here to at least get me pointed to the right references, links to articles, youtubes, etc. thanks.

A 16 inch barrel would be perfectly fine.

If you want a good budget night vision red dot NAIT sells refurbished M845 gen 2+ 1.5 and 2.8 magnification. Both can be found on Ebay for under $1,000. I would reccomend getting an illuminator like the TNVC Torch though to improve the function of the device which go for about $260.

For an upper this is a great deal at $320 bucks:

Honestly, if I were you that is exactly what I would do.

Buy the upper at PSA $320 plus shipping so $350 on the high end.

TNVC Torch $260 plus shipping so $275 on the high end.

That is $625 but stay with me now, buy a 10 pack of PMAGs from DSG for $100 bucks and about 160-200 bucks for a Midwest Industries rail. Now we are at almost $1,000 bucks and you have no optic but remember as well I made you buy the Torch which is only useful if you have night vision.

If you get an M845 on Ebay and use Paypal you get 6 months no interest on purchases over $99 bucks. If you bought the 2.8X M845 for $950 dollars you simply need to pay $158.33 every month for the next 6 months and you won't pay any interest.
