DPMS, Bushmaster or Olympic for a complete lower?
- Thread starter Rex Feral

Check out getting a stripped lower, and a gun kit with all the remaining parts from a company like http://www.jtdistributing.com/
The upper in the kit (according to JT Distributing) will be assembled and headspaced.
I'm going to do it that way, as soon as I figure out what parts I want in the kit. Since a Bushmaster lower is about $130, and the kit is about $430, you end up with an AR15 for about $560, not including all the little fees for shipping, handling, and the like. Plus a bit of assembly.
Considering the relatively poorly rated Mini-14 runs close to this in dollar value, it sounds like a better way to proceed.

I ordered a kit from Model 1 sales last monday, and it was here by Friday. they said it would take 4-5 weeks, took 4 days!
