Further update (last post TL;DR: milling paperweight this weekend (will update throughout the process), upper parts +pictures)
It was silly to make a new thread for the 6.8 rifle I'm building since this is all sort of happenings at the same time. Sorry if it's confusing to follow! Without further ado,
FINALLY PARTS LIST
6.8SPC upper build :
Spartan left-side charging non-reciprocating upper: $224,
Carbon fiber hand guard (I have two others like it and it's great): $62
18" midweight ARP Triad barrel, NiB coated bolt and carrier: $402.50
midlength gas tube, steel YHM clamp on gas block, accu-wedge: 62.50
Subtotal: ~$750
Anderson lower+DROS: ~68
Spikes Tactical- less FCG at $45.
Strike Industries extended takedown pins: $12.50
3lb ultra match trigger: $100
Ambi safety: $20
A2 stock and buffer system: $60
Riflegrips.com featureless grip: $19
KNS antiwalking pins: $35
Subtotal: ~$360
Tools:
80% universal easy jig (steel bushings): $170
Bits: $45
Router: $60
Cutting Fluid: $23
Subtotal: ~$300 (though reusable)
Non-firearm related items for decorative purposes:
80% paperweight: Priceless ($52)
Total for 6.8SPC Build: ~$1110
Grand Total: ~$1462
(+- due to some shipping for other parts separate from the build)
I may buy some BUIS for this, but probably not until September.

So for a while I've had an AR and a half, and I'd like to be able to more quickly go back and forth between using 7.62x39 and 5.56.
I figured it's about time I started from something more (or less) than just a stripped lower. Since I don't have a CNC, I thought a "blemished" paperweight would be more appropriate than a true block of aluminum.
*****This is going to remain a featureless build.*****
Yesterday (and this morning) I spent a while looking for the innards in order to come up with the best combination.
**Update: See attachment for parts list and links
Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Trying to keep the cost as low as possible while still following Buy Once Cry Once, and remaining featureless.

And the blemish:
A small rough patch on the underside by the mag well.
updated with pictures (:
This is eventually going to be the lower for my 6.8 ARC rifle, but right now it's babysitting my 7.62x39
