how many of you ar builders have built your dream gun only to change the stock 2 months later or swap optics the next week , then try a new grip tomorrow .
before you know it you have box of parts needing a receiver .... now you have 2 or 3 ar's
is that just me ?
i read and read and researched products new and old and find that i just cant leave them be

im gonna go out on a limb and say pic your barrel length first , that might narrow your options for what u find necessary for your rifle ....
they make sweet adjustable cheek weld stocks that i cant see you needing on a 1o" sbr and cool flash suppressors like noveske kx3 "pig" that you dont need for a 20" plinker ......so much to choose from .

if i do another one i would personally pick a local company (support your local business ) for my receivers since they are all supposed to be milspec it technically shouldnt matter as far as fit but if you have a problem you can drive on down to the shop and show them and hopefully get it resolved
gonna try these fellas probably (im in houston) http://www.sogarmory.com/Products.aspx?srch=lower" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
as far as the rest i cant say i wouldnt do it the same again . i have 2 frankenguns built from random websites i found the best prices on and my rifles function like champs i will put them against any of my buddies RRA ,Daniel defense ,colt ,bushmaster ,
since you dont sound like you know you HAVE to have any particular parts, here's sights i browse for good prices and successful builds

i would recommend a wolf heavy extractor spring and spikes buffer and having an spare bolt . and good iron sights ( midwest industries, yhm, troy )
also good magazines ! never had any problems with magpul , they just fit tighter with the bolt closed and i like the metal ones with green followers i find at gunshows for $10

i also run this in 2 guns i love it , just seems to cycle smooth as silk no bounce , never had a stovepipe or cycle issue with ANY ammo since

you could go drop 2-$3000 and have a great rifle , or you could build 3 great rifles for the same price .....its up to you .
ford or chevy or do you need a ferrari ? theres probable some iffy stuff out there but soo much info and reviews on the web , id just find a good price and google it or come back here and ask specifically if anyone has an opinion
oh by the way my favorite rifle i own has a tactical innovations lower ....dont even know who made the upper . a colt bolt and carrier and standard trigger (dpms) . she's a beast id take it to war
