More thoughts, and a request for ideas. The idea of getting your username engraved was suggested earlier, and I was thinking of possibly doing that to the outside of the dust cover so that the receiver isn't etched with my name forever. Thus it could say "INGO - Rob63" or "Rob63 - 5.56". I'm kind of thinking it might be good to mark the caliber depending upon whether the barrel I end up with is clearly marked or not, unsure about that.
Any good ideas for the inside of the dust cover? Something that might be amusing to INGO members as an inside joke. I thought of "Pew, Pew" or "Ban Hammer", but I think they extend well beyond INGO. Is "Bacon Option" past its prime?
"Glocks Suck"
"Condition Butterscotch"
"Fenway's Bugatti"
"Bully Reported"
"Boating Accident"
"Mall Ninja"
"Internet Operator"
Other ideas?
I think I'm going with a 22lr and maybe a 9mm later.
Allow me to recommend the Tac Sol dedicated upper. I have an M4, very pleased with it. You're not going to win any smallbore matches with it but it will eat most anything and runs really well even when dirty. I'd say I have a thousand rounds through mine with very few FTF.

Thanks for the link. I was just going to pick up a 223/556 upper and then install a .22 bolt.
I do like their 10/22 barrel. 16 in with my suppressor and no stamp.
Well, I ordered my first parts tonight for this build.
I decided I'm going with a rifle length set-up. Most likely a 20" barrel. So for now, I'm gathering parts to build the lower. I ordered a Magpul MOE fixed rifle stock with buffer kit. Got it from Buckeye Tactical for $99 plus free shipping.
Next up is the LPK. I want a half decent trigger, but I'm not ready to shell out for a two stage. I'm intrigued by the BCM enhanced lpk, but it's out of stock pretty much everywhere.
For now the plan is to finish the lower as soon as I can, and use an existing upper. I'll be piecing the new upper together over the next year or so as funds allow.
