Flat top AR question.
KGillen:
I knew about DPMS and Bushmaster, but not Remington. I guess the people I talk to look at DPMS as the lesser brand, dunno if that makes any sense.
bkoenig:
Bravo Company has some great deals on uppers right now. You have to add handguards and bolt carrier, but you're still looking at just a little over $500.

2nd for Bravo Company. http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/ Their BCM brand is top notch. I also highly recommend PK Firearms http://www.pkfirearms.com/, and I like their Sabre Defence line. They also carry Noveske if you want to go all the way to the top.
I have a lot of RRA stuff and I really like it. Bought it all from Adco Firearms http://www.adcofirearms.com/, and they are my go to AR15 machinist and gunsmith if I just can't figure out a way to do it myself.
I would suggest you build up your own lower with the trigger you prefer, and purchase a complete upper. Best Lower parts kits are RRA, Stag. DPMS kits are fair quality at least the 1 I have used.
I recommend an RRA match 2 stage trigger at the minimum, and the Geissele SSA 2 stage would be my best recommendation.
I highly recommend Magpul stocks, grips and accessories I use CTR's on all 3 of mine and Magpul Pmag magazines. I recommend the mil spec extension tube as you have more choices that way.

I don't have any experience from ownership (I'm an AR15 flat top owner-wanna be myself), but I've read a lot of good things about http://www.del-ton.com/, http://jtdistributing.net/index.html, and http://www.star15.com/index.html.

You can save anywhere from $100 to over $300 on an AR by assembling one yourself in most cases, but there are a couple smoking deals out there right now on complete rifles. It all depends on how fancy you want your first AR to be.
Yes, I said "first AR"...there will be more after BRD sets in(Black Rifle Disease). >:D
