Getting ready to build my first ar. I can get a Mega Arms Model Gator or and Anderson AM15 stripped lower for $60 a piece ( both stripped ) and BCM-URG-MID-16 upper for 200 and a delton upper for 150.00.
Can you guys give me any advice on these items ? Is one better than the other ? Should I get BOTH ? What else would you need to complete the build ? |
| Nothing against Anderson, but Mega is one of the top manufacturers when it comes to lower receivers. As far as the uppers, For $200, I'm assuming that BCM upper is used. As long as its in decent shape, that would be the way to go. BCM is a very high quality maker, I have a few of their uppers and all run flawless. |

Thanks guys . What lower receiver parts kit should I go with ? I've become a big fan of the WOA LPK. I've never had an issue with their installation or function like some of the other companies I've tried. WeaponOutfitters (a dealer here) offers the WOA LPK with the ability to customize the trigger and grip and other pieces. You save money and get exactly what you want. |

Absolutely. Any recommendations ? Quoted:

I don't see a buttstock with receiver extension, buffer, etc. listed. Do you need sights for the uppers you're looking at? Absolutely. Any recommendations ? BCM RE KIT with H2 buffer. All day every day. Stock is personal preference mostly. The new rev of the B5 SOPMODs are very well made and priced right. |

Go with Mega on the lower if those are you choices. I have never owned an Anderson lower but if I were to go with a forged lower for cheap it would be an Aero precision (they make great lowers that you can sometimes find very cheap on sale. I found mine for $49 on Brownells a few years back)
BCM is mucho better than a delton. You need a lower parts kit. I put together my own parts kit from higher end parts KNS, Battle arms development, V7, ALG, etc but if this is you first build I would keep it simple and use a standard kit. Most of the kits are all the same. CMMG, Aero Precision, etc. I used CMMG on my first build just get rid of the pistol grip which is sh-t. Ergo makes great AR pistol grips. Back up iron sights (BUIS) are always a must. I really like the magpul metal MBUS pro sights. You can also do an optic. That's just my 2 cents others will have other opinions |
