I am ready to start compiling parts for my first build. Essential arms has forged stripped lowers for $77.
High Country guns is close to me, says he will do FFL xfer for $45 (includes bg check).

Seems fair to me, just wondering if anyone knows of a better deal for xfers.

Also, going to do a Del-Ton upper 20". It has a chrome moly barrel vs chrome lined. Any feedback on longevity/break-in procedures?

Thanks for your help
