Billet vs. Forged?

[TriggerHappy]

Just curious what the pros and cons were to the billet lowers and uppers compared to the forged? Thinking about building a new toy, but not sure what to start with.

This has been covered a few times in other threads, but I think most of the good info was in a thread that was high jacked so I have no idea what to tell you to search under.

I would also like to encourage you to use the search function.

If you want a simple answer, then here it is: forged is cheaper. If you want more information, please do a search.

cheers

I found some of the ones I was thinking of:

Thanks, I had read quite a few threads but haven't seen anything on it. I will try the search function and see what I can find. Still firguring out the forum.

Used the search function, found a few threads that talked about it a little. From what i can understand Billets have a little tighter fit, cleaner lines and a couple built in features? Oh yea, and the price tag.. I guess I was just looking for a cut and dry example of the pros and cons. I dont know that I would want to spend extra $$ when I am already happy with the forged that I own now.
