Building first Ar-15 style riffle, does this look okay?

[951temec]

I've been lurking this forum for almost 2 years here and there.
and i think i finally am ready to build my first AR. This will be my first gun i own, i've shot various weapons owned by my friends, and i decided to attempt to take this on rather than purchasing a Ruger Mini 14.

The part's im considering are:

JD machine lower reciver
(i've heard that they are the same as noveske and spike)
and that the anodize/coat flaking issue has long been solved?
$120 + DROS +FFL picked up in person @ faith armory in temecula

^i've never been there, and i have no idea what they charge for trasnfers, but i have read on here that they are much more friendly than the shootist in murrieta.

Another question that I've ran into was if it would be a more affordable option to go with the PSA kit found here:

http://palmettostatearmory.com/2252.php

which is currently out of stock, From what i understand about upper reciver assemblies, Bravo Company MFG is a nicer brand who are currently have a variety of uppers on sale, but even at sale prices they are a little pricey for me right now (college student budget)

-Thank you in advance for the help

My choice would be for the PSA lower build kit. It has everything you need except for the bullet button and mags. Actually, it shows that they are in stock.
Riflegear has Aero Precision stripped lowers for $79 + tax and DROS.

thank you for the advice:
Yeah the PSA kit comes out cheaper once all of the shipping is factored in,
unfortunately Fountain valley is quite a bit of a drive, and anything i would have saved on the price, would be spent in the gas to head over there, once to purchase and in 10 days to pick it up.

Check Coldhand Arms. Alot of times they have complete kits including the stripped lower for $499.

The PSA kit also has slightly better specs than the Del-ton (chrome lined 1:7 twist barrel, MPI & HPT bolt carrier group). There's nothing wrong with the Del-ton but you can get a better spec'd upper with the PSA for practically the same money.

i have two jd machine lowers and report zero issues with finish or anything else, for what thats worth

It seems you're on a budget & you're going for the best deals over the best quality & reputation. If you've been researching this stuff for 2 years, you have read many reviews. If these parts fit your requirements of an AR type rifle knowing the good and bad, then run them. It may be a very accurate & reliable rifle. If not, you'll know what to upgrade as you shoot it. This may cost more in the long run but will be a good learning experience.

Asking guys on on a gun forum to rate your build can be very discouraging. Not everyone can understand your budget & reasons for your parts choices. To some, if you're not using XYZ parts, it's guaranteed to be a POS. Good luck!
