So, I'm starting my first build on a stripped lower. I am trying to make an easy to clean, smooth shooter,
but keeping the build as cheap as possible so I can get a $200 optic and still be under a grand overall. I have done my research, and even got my hands on a very basic optics ready Anderson Arms 16" that I've taken apart and put back together to make sure I would be comfortable building one. I haven't identified all the parts yet, but I think I know enough to figure out the lower. Here are the parts I am looking at, does anyone have a better idea? Is there a part I am going too cheap on? Something better for maybe the same price or not too much more? An absolutely must have part I am missing here? Is this the stupidest thing you have ever seen? All opinions are welcome. You know what they say about opinions and assholes, everyone has an opinion and they are all assholes.
