Hey everyone,
Well, the time has come that I'm going to start building an AR. I'd been strongly considering it lately, so when I found out I got a refund check from my college that sealed the deal. I'm fairly set in a CMMG upper when the time comes, so that's the main reason I liked the idea of a CMMG lower (I know they're all basically the same, just want opinions).
I called my local shop and while they don't have any in, they can currently get DPMS and Double star. The DS stripped lower is $115 (I know I can find them online for less, but considering there's no transfer fee, I'm fine with it). She also told me DPMS is running a special that you can get a complete unassembled lower for $170. I would want to replace the grip and stock with ones I'd like, but it seems like that's a pretty solid deal. Any guesses on what a standard PG and 6 position stock could sell for? Any opinions on what I should do? Odds of fit and finish between a DMPS lower and a CMMG upper should be at least decent, right? Thanks!
(I just called back to double check on the specs, she said the DPMS said it comes with stripped lower, stock, and internals, so it SOUNDS, to me and her, like it's a complete lower disassembled, but she's going to double check for me). Thanks all!
