Consider an A2 stock if you really want a rifle length stock, they really are a decent design.

As for the Low mass BCG, I would tend to think, and while it might work, you want the mass of the regular BCG to help feed and function, and leave the bolt locked slightly longer ( from the additional mass ) .. that results in extraction at a lower chamber pressure. ( Easier extraction )

A heavy buffer weight will also aid in delaying the bolt unlocking. Even just a few milli-seconds matter.

And I use Lantac brakes and BCM ... the Lantac will be more annoying to those around you..for sure because of the angle of the ports.. ( any brake will the ports angled towards you will be worse )

But the BCM 308 is pretty manageable.
You might consider one of those.

Make sure which ever free float tube you buy .. will allow ample clearance around the Adj. GB.

And IMHO, a adj. GB is the best add-on for any large frame AR. Buy a quality one.. the cheaper , less user friendly ones can be a PITA to adjust.. especially if the adjustment screws are not readily accessible.

I have been very happy with my SLR's.. and they go on sale frequently.

Trigger wise... the LaRue MBT 2 stage is a heck of a deal. I prefer 2 stage triggers... they are much easier to back out of a shot then a single stage.
The LaRue comes with a flat ( or curved ) trigger bow now.

Remember to do some QC on the various new parts... polish the feed ramps and RE feed lugs edges, polish the extractor face ( the portion that slips over the cartridge rim )

And a snug upper to lower fit makes it easier for you to have a consistent firing stance.

And if you want to get as much accuracy as possible from the barrel... consider lapping the upper receiver face true. $30 tool, and for me, doing this has helped precision on all the rifles I have built.
FWIW, it helps with full , complete, contact between the barrels bridge / barrel nut / upper receiver face.
IMHO, it is important. At the very least it will shoot more brand ammo's in tighter groups.
