    I didn't see this in the OP:

    FIFY: Fixed It For You

    It's there. Right between FCG and FMJ :). This list is getting HUGE!!!

    Starting the daily update....

    What is a FSB?

    Do folks use an acronym for Upper Parts Kit (UPK) similar to LPK?

    FSB = Front Sight Base, and

    yes, I see

    UPK = Upper Parts Kit
    LPK = Lower Parts Kit
    LBK = Lower Build Kit (my understanding is LBK = LPK + stock, buffer tube & spring)
    FCG = Fire Control Group
    BCG = Bolt Carrier Group

    used all the time. Some of the above may already be in the list, but can't see the list and post at the same time -- this has been a very useful list btw -- finally figured out what SMIB and BGOS meant. Thank you
