Get a lilja 20" barrel from lilja website. $500.
Get the vortex 3-18x44 strike eagle scope ($350) from eurooptics. sunshade later if you decide on it.
Get everything else from joebob's. Fully assembled aero upper. Generics work fine for the rest (exc maybe a cantilever mount, 30mm your choice Amazon I'm using monstrum/burris 30 mm- unless you plan on really rough-housing use. but not any ultralights, they are too flimsy).
the teeth on the breek warhammer handle-grips are too sharp to be comfortable to the fingers imo. radians work great however. I doubt you need the ambi style but its up to you.
Handguard, again... a generic is fine, or use a midwest industries, I don't see any value-for-$$ of that magnesium HG.
Spend $$ on barrel, scope, trigger. The rest mostly holds stuff together.
1:7 is ok but actually a little tight imo. 1:8 is standard and works great. Mag length and case capacity usually limits how many really long bullets you might use anyway, so 1:7 not needed.
I personally like the 20" barrel, and Lilja is a top notch one, I have the 740 model. Not interested in "armor tuff", like I said, unless you're going to war with this one then maybe.
my 2 cents.
