Hi folks, first time post.
Ummmm. So I've decided to buy an AR lower receiver before the Nov 8, but the market is saturated with options, most of which are "out of stock" or on "backorder."
To be honest, I don't really want to buy a complete rifle. I don't really have an interest in an AR, at the moment. This is a just in case/what if/in the future kind of purchase. I do know that, if I were to own one, I would want it to be a standard rifle (full length stock and barrel) with all standard grips/forearms/sights etc. (Although, those parts seem nearly impossible to find-especially A1 parts.)
Also, is there such a thing as a "fixed carry handle" upper receiver anymore?
I'm really thinking of buying from Brownell's.
My only "AR" experience is in the military, and that was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. (15 years ago)
Can anyone recommend either a good quality lower (I'm thinking the 7075 forged version) and where best to buy one? (Or, conversely, suggest lowers NOT to buy or companies to avoid.)
Any thoughts are appreciated, because I've been looking at AR websites for 2 days, and my eyes are glazed over.
Thanks.
