    Default 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.

    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.

    +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.

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