[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1136288, member: 10619"] You can often find great prices at Rguns, but if these guys are the ones you decide to deal with, call first and confirm they have what you want in stock. They seem to be a little lazy with updating their site. [url]http://rguns.net/rifles/rifles-semiauto-ar15-DPMS-complete.shtml[/url] If you're curious about building your own, check out Brownell's video section. There may be better, more extensive videos out there, but I haven't found them, nor could I imagine what more they could teach a newbie without creating a "drinking from a firehose" situation.
