Other than the BCA barrel, I'd be happy with the list so far. Since you're going to be painting it, the actual parts make less difference. You've had good results before with the Guntech rail so you already know what you're getting there. Agree with the finish on the reveivers, I'd have liked to see them be matched, it could change your finished paint. I've never used that stuff though, so you may not see it in the end.
I didn't see your spring extension or your muzzle device. Carbine gas and spring should work fine.
"Plunk test" your barrel before you assemble it, make sure a factory round drops in and out like in your case gauge. Give the drop in some elevation, you want to know it's going to extract and that the throat clears the ogive as it should.
Good luck hazz.
P.S. You may be fortunate with your BCA barrel, it may shoot well. I wouldn't hold out hope for it being great, though. They've proven time and time again that it's like buying a cheap ebay turbo for a car you're thinking about racing. We expect great results, but use cheap parts. The barrel is the heart of your build. Not sure of the motivation behind this choice. First impressions are everything. I'd be remiss not to offer this among my opinions: If I were a betting man, I'd wager that that barrel will perform exactly like it looks, mediocre at best.
