I ordered one on Thanksgiving black Friday sale and assembled it in January and could not be happier with the product and service. I ordered a 16" mid light weight AR Kit and love it. 500 rounds thru it and it works just fine.
Post 454 I like that Chevy big block |

Great news guys thanks
I am on the vertical learning curve here. LOL I am completely new to this AR stuff but leaning fast. Now the question is what lower? I went to the Tactical Machining factory to day to get a stripped receiver. I hear they make pretty good stuff. Anyway I can't buy it from them because I am out of state. I will have to wait till I get home to get a receiver. Who makes a good lower, that won't break the bank, that fits well with the Del-Ton? Did you guys use the rifle kit with Del-Ton lower parts? Are they the way to go or should I get another trigger group? What kind of a discount do I get from Del-Ton and how do I get it? Thanks for the help guys thumbs1 |

I used an aero/surplus ammo arms lower for all three of mine. Fit tight and good finish match. |

I own a lightweight 16" and couldnt be happier. Fit and finish are perfect. Around 2500 rounds (brass and steel) with not one problem.
A reply to the other questions... 1) Lowers are lowers. They are made by a few places and then everyone just puts their roll mark on and brands it. Don't pay more than $99. I think Spikes sells blemished lowers for $79 shipped. Just find a FFL and you are set. 2) The Del-Ton parts kit is standard. You won't find any differences with other parts kits and its reasonably priced. Just make sure everything is in stock. They finished the shot show a few months ago and stay really busy after that. 3) The upper and lower go together just fine. 4) Go on the Industry partner forum here on AR15.com and check out the Del-Ton page. You can read about the site discount and the bonus points. Enjoy! |

Thanks for the info. Is the FCG good to go? I mean if I am goin to build this thing if there is a better FCG that will really make a difference I guess now is the time. Also how do you guys like the stock that comes with the kit? Really not interested in spending more money but if I am goin to change stuff out later it may be cheaper to do it now. I am kinda wanting to build the thing on a budget. thanks agian guys |

I see they only give the discount for complete rifles not uppers or lowers alone. Not for the rifle kits.

While there are only a few actual forging companies forging lower reciever blanks, there's about a zillion companies machining them. Machine work varies from all of them. Some good, some not so good. Some fit uppers better than others (loose vs. tight fit) magwells tight/loose etc. So far, I have found the AGP Arms lower to be one of the best. |

Has anyone had exp with Palmetto State Armory AR's? I found the complete rifle for 669. This includes a magazine and Magpul rear site. To tell ya the truth I can't build one for that. I put a parts list together and it was more money than the complete rifle.
How is their quality and service? thanks |
