Pat Rogers at EAG does an excellnet carbine course, as well as Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorn-they are different in approaches, but all excellent. I have also found that Bill Jeans runs a fantastic class as well. I am planning on taking a Paul Howe class in the future as I have heard nothing but positive about his courses in the circles I frequent. For L/E classes, Scott Reitz is my top choice.
A couple options on your build...............what do YOU need the gun to do?
I sent an identical gun to yours to Noveske to have a LaRue rail put on and a precision barrel for urban sniping work.
You can do an LMT MRP upper and convert it from a 10.5 5.56 to a 14.5, to an SPR, to a 6.8 in minutes with only a torque wrench. I use this system extensively and it is expensive initially, but is very versatile.
For a good GP carbine, you could simply send your upper to SAW in Arizona and have a Colt 16" LE M4 contour barrel installed and be done. I like A1 fixed stocks myself. If you are going to put a retractable stock on it, do yourself a favor and use a Mil Spec tube, and preferably Colt.
Good luck
