Some choose the whole rig, some pick two "halves" to use. That's what I usually do. Shipping is going to run you $20-25 so one order is better than two. The top half can be shipped directly to you BUT if you split the order, and the receiver DOES have to go to the FFL, you've blown $50 on shipping, not as cost effective. Check into the length of gas system you desire. It matters. Also varied rate of barrel twists are available. It matters some too depending on your goals. They have some different options on uppers you need to consider. Side charging, two side charging, conventional, with or no forward assist etc.
MLOCK hand guards you can have regular or "split". The split pinches on the barrel mounting nut and is not the very best for hard recoiling options like the .450 or SOCOM etc. You start hanging stuff off the front and shoot heavy recoil and the MLOCK split will start to walk off some. Just consider things.
This is the fun part. Your dealer may have some experience too, it's fun to plan and scheme. Meter out the fun in stages, milk it!
