For just something to play with, where weight is not an issue.
Pick any "brand name" lower, skip the collapsable stock, you have to pin it anyway and it's not great for target shooting.
Upper, pretty much the same, again go with brand names and pretty much what ever you like the look of, 20" barrels tend to be in less demand so cheaper and retain higher muzzle velocities, and if you can find an HBar barrel even better, heavier wall thickness.
Unless you have to have something on the end of the barrel, I would go clean, a break for the most part only pisses off the guys next to you on the line, and it's not really needed for recoil.
If your only going to use a scope, go flat top, not sure, get the removable carry handle, I like the A1/A2 style with the fixed carry handle, can't loose it and the batteries in the iron sights never go bad.
