I know a guy that just built a nice rifle for cheap. I'll let him tell you about it.
I think you can do much better than a Bushmaster or Rock River AR for a similar price. Both of those leave a lot to be desired, .

what would be the pros & cons about going with a shorter barrel vs a longer barrel. Distance?
"The list" generates a lot of reactions-- most of them blown way out of proportion. Some folks turn elitist over even the smallest detail. Others make fun of those elitists, and erroneously lump everyone who references the list into that group. Still others find their "baby" lower on the list than expected, and get sore over it.
The fact of the matter is that the details on "the list" are very real. 95% of the people who will ever read it won't benefit from parkerizing under the FSB, or even MP and ping tested bolts or properly staked carrier keys. Indeed, some of the criteria border on nitpicky-- even rifles that saw super hard use may not notice negative results for not meeting certain criteria.
My humble opinion seems to be shared by MrLefty. If you're fortunate enough to have rifles that meet all of the standards for the same price as rifles that don't... Why not go for all the fixings? Unless there's an issue with configuration (carbine vs middie, A2 vs A4, etc.), some possible customer service concerns or a justifiable grudge against a certain company... it doesn't make much sense to me, either.
