Got my first AR lower!

I was bitten by the bug, and for my first AR, I'd like to mostly just learn as much as possible while building a "fair" rifle for as cheap as I can. So far I have inherited a stock and carbine length hand guards.

What does everyone recommend for a lower receiver parts kit?

I'm thinking I should do a complete upper, at least for a first rifle.

Can you all keep me in mind for any extra parts laying around? I'd love to also sit in on someone else's build, so I can watch the rifle come together.

Thanks!

As far as the LPK, since you mentioned wanting to go cheap, I would say DPMS.

Buy one of the "premium" uppers from a Palmetto State and you'll be all set! Go ahead and grab a LPK from them while you're there. [Beer]

I've been getting decent deals from a local vendor, damage factory. While PSA has good deals i like to know when an order is placed, it gets shipped in a timely manner. DF sends it out within 24hrs, tops. The We appreciate your business e-mail is nice.

Thanks all, I'll check those out and start saving my pennies!

+1 for Damage Factory as well!

+3 Damagefactory.com !!! Lol

In all seriousness, talk to Ron MEXICO..
He tried out tons of lpk for Damagefactory.. From a very popular vendor who imports some of the component from Taiwan, to some of the top names in the business.. And of course the cheap Anderson. We learnt a lot. I need your help to harass him to make a quick blog or video of the result

Can't do it if he's not returning calls or text.

Dealt with DF twice now and both were great experiences.

I have the "equivalent" to a LPK laying around if you want it.

Thanks everyone, I'll definitely check out DF.

TBA: I'll definitely take it, thanks a bazillion!

Big thanks to To Bear Arms, gonna try my hand at assembling my lower tonight, without buffer tube assembly, until I get one.

You'll find it to be much easier than you think. If your more of a visual learner, youtube is your friend.

Definitely going to follow YouTube vids. Irving referred me to a good one by Sootch00.

The Belly on here just put up a video as well. His is twice as long as Sootch00's video, but he has some more important info in there.

Holy crap, $200! The Belly you scored!

Getting closer! Now I need a buffer assembly to complete the lower. I think I have a commercial stock, but I think I'm going to keep my eyes out for mil-spec.

If you have a commercial stock that you like, use it.
