[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1074377, member: 7488"] I'm building my first AR using the following steps: * Buy a stripped lower receiver. I would get this local to avoid having to ship to a FFL and pay for a transfer. This (I'm sure you're already aware if you have researched this far) is the only part that is legally considered the firearm. * Buy a lower build kit from [URL="http://palmettostatearmory.com/lower-build-kits.php"]Palmetto State Armory[/URL]. It is everything needed to finish off the lower, including a LPK, and Magpul goodies. Considerable savings over buying individual part. FWIW, I am not sure if I am going to stick with the CMMG lpk, but if not I bet I could sell it on here without much issue. * Buy an assembled complete upper. The upper is the only part that requires special tools, so I am going with the complete. [URL="http://ar15sales.com/"]Legal Transfers LLC[/URL] has excellent prices on shipped uppers, but only carries Rock River, Stag, and LMT as far as I know. That said, I think we can all agree those brands' uppers are all of good quality. All in all, I am going have the complete rifle less optics under 900, and that's with a quality upper, lower, and furniture. Only part that is questionable is the LPK which I can trade up fairly cheaply. [/QUOTE]
