I'm starting to look for a lower..either put one together (which I've never done), a complete new one or one off the used market. What I have is 2.5 ARs (1 complete Stag 18" and a Colt 6920 which I share the lower with a CMMG .22lr upper). This new lower would be for the CMMG .22lr upper so I can put the Colt back into ready status. I don't know much about lowers and I see prices range from around $50 to $300 for a stripped one. Even though this is for my .22lr, I don't want a crappy one either that doesn't fit well or its finish starts wearing off. But, I don't need a high end one either, just a good solid bang for the buck lower. Anybody have any advice on where to look or proceed? I've seen some lower cost stripped lowers on Primary Arms and there may be sales going on. Once I get the lower, any advice on lower parts…good kits with pins, triggers, etc? I already have a spare stock. Imagine I need…
- stripped lower receiver
- parts kit with pins & trigger
- grip
- buffer tube
