That depends on if you have a sepecific make of barrel you already have your heart set on. You can find barrels in all lengths with M4 ramps.

So when I order my upper it's generally agreed it can't posibly hurt, and can only help. given all the parts go together

Don't have a specific make, but looking for 16", mid-length, .223/5.56 chamber. I don't necessarily like the short handguards on the CAR style though.

Those should be plentiful with M4 ramps.

Sounds like the feedramps are a worthwhile upgrade for 10 bucks. Since I plan to build this in pieces, 110 for a stripped upper (with feedramps) that will match the PAFOA lower is priced well, right?

Jon said he will even include it with my upper shipment.

I noticed they sell a "complete" upper for 20 bucks more.

Complete Flat Top Receiver with M4 Feed Ramps; Includes installed dust cover and forward assist.

Are those components worth the 20 extra?

Those extra parts are usually $15 and the upper is usually a bit cheaper as well.

But.....you are guaranteed to match colors (I hope) your way.
