Greetings,
just got back froma gunshow in Houston, now i have questions, some of which i kinda want to get an answer to before NEXT weekend when the Houston Gun Collector's Show is going on.
been looking at AR lowers, both complete and stripped. and one of the vendors at teh show had some pretty good deals, including one that got me thinking that i MIGHT want to buy two stripped lowers and build em up myself.
but i've never done that before and i don't know if it would be worth it to "do it myself". how much of a PITA is assembling a completed lower from a stripped receiver??
just in case it makes a difference, one, if not both, of these lowers will wind up with A1 furniture as soon after the inital purchase as i can manage it. and other than the outward pieces (grip and buttstock) i don't know if that changes the parts needed. such as does having an A1 buttstock mean i need a different buffer tube?
anyway, any and all of you who've done this before please let me know how difficult it is and what tools are needed to do this right.
or should i just suck it up and buy the complete (Rock River) lowers at $250 adn be done with it??
as always thank you for you time.
