So I have always bought complete rifles. I know alot of you build AR rifles, I saw the sticky thread above.
I am thinking of venturing into this , not building from scratch with a stripped lower and such, but the lower and upper thing ,I have some questions that need answering please.
Am I understanding correct that if you get a lower you can switch uppers on it just attach and shoot? Say I got a PSA lower for example I can add a .300 blackout upper, or 7.62x39mm upper and so on just attach and shoot away after getting other magazines? Or do things need to be adjusted on the lower first when using a different upper and or caliber?
So say I get a DPMS AR-10 lower or whoever , I can get a separate complete upper for .243 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor just attach it to the lower and start shooting?
Guy at the range last time was shooting a .50 Beowulf which intrigued me, never even heard of the caliber until his brass flinged my way but dang a fifty caliber AR lol, a upper for that will just attach to a lower and good to go?
If the answer is yes to my questions above recommend me some uppers and lower AR-15 and AR-10 lol, I know PSA will probably be mentioned.
