    Remember:
    "Military contracts are generally awarded to
    the lowest bidder, so there is a fine line between quality
    and cost. Mil-spec is a minimum standard to meet, not a
    standard for maximum quality".
    I dreamed of owning a (insert off roster gun here)...

    Oh yeah....then the earth splits open with me on one side and the (off roster gun) on the other. Then appeared a large red-glowing pit with gavin newscum, diane frankenstein and governor "brown the drain" at the bottom of it, waving their pitchforks at me.

      OP, if you think shooting an AR is fun, shoot an AK.

        I hope the OP is not married- His wife is gonna be pissed at all the cash he's about to blow...

        OP, I've been hearing good things about the new Ruger lowers I've been seeing at Turners lately. And I think they are less than $100 plus tax and dros.

          It is an investment! Buy quality. Buy multiple firearms in multiple calibers. Get ready for **** storm from the wife. LOL!

          On a side note- my daughter just saw the skull lower, and she wants one. Where in San Diego area can I find one? /OP, see what you are getting into!/

              It's a Spikes Tactical AR-15 Stripped Billet Jack Lower Receiver.

              Search online. Primary Arms has it for $310.

                You should consider the Fightlite SCR. It is $600, but it's featureless out of the box and has nice (IMO) ergonomics relative to other featureless solutions.

                  Also consider the transfer fee when ordering a lower online.

                    oh, but there is.

                    My seekins 223 lower has captured safety detent spring and captured takedown spring. It also has trigger overtravel adjustment.

                    So there is that.

                        If you think missing with an AK is fun, try hitting zeros with a AR-47.

                          Most of the lowers are truly the same. I think there's like three forges that produced them. If you get a good brand name like Anderson or Spike's, you should be fine. I generally buy them based on the roll marks and if I like them or not.

                            I would just buy something in stock that you like the roll mark. Ir something where you're already buying something else and they will allow you to throw it onto the DROS you're already paying for.

                              I picked up a couple Ruger 556 lowers at Turners for $99 each. They also have lower build kits from Anderson for $35. I got a BCM trigger and CMC lower kit from JBO for $95.

                                Exactly what I did.
