I'm about to do the same...
What was the problem?

LanTac, very nicely finished kit but there's no way I'd pay over £2000 for what is basically a collection of other manufacturers parts (as are most AR platform builds!).
NorthWest Custom Parts - No Parts for about 4 months
Mark Bradley - Same as above so I was told

I was also after a straight pull in 223, my friend in the US has a NEA-15 (Canadian North Eastern Arms), LanTac are/were one of the UK importers but are no longer selling them as in their words "Not saying they are bad but the 4 we had were not very good quality" which is very odd as they have a good reputation and my friends (and his friends) are spot on.

At £1300 they were a lot cheaper than LanTacs own offerings. Suffolk Rifle Company have one left which is their demo "Gucci" model. I've emailed NEA to see what the position is with a UK supplier. Only other option is an LMT which one of my local RFDs sells for less than LanTac who again are one of the distributors!.

Build your own, I essentially did, only thing that was sourced through an RFD was the Barrel (Border) and bolt.

I had thought of that, if you have any info for sourcing a reasonably priced upper & lower etc. I'd be very interested indeed, was the bolt supplied with the side charging handle?.

Most of my parts were sourced from my own recycled AR15s, the Bolt carrier was from a 6mmAR which can be swapped back when required and it already had a side charger conversion. The stripped lower was sourced second hand, the handguard and lower parts kit, trigger etc were purchased by me.
