Someone has done this before. Can't find the thread
Griffin makes a BCG and grip. Not sure about a stock (edit: They do have stocks, tho I can't verify they are made here) |

I plan on doing it when I build out my Dang lower.
 I think it's Wisconsin Trigger Company. There's also this pinned thread. Might help. https://www.ar15.com/forums/Hometown/The-Wisconsin-Firearm-Industrial-Complex/21-438676/ |

I wonder if MI or someone else could put one of these together?
I think MI makes billet lowers in-house. |

@Green0
Is your polymer furniture made in Wisconsin? I don't care if you outsource it and even if it is manufactured outside of the state it may be the "most Wisconsin" furniture I can get. Kuraki made lower - UFFDA 15, Lefse and Lutefisk for safe/fire  Wisconsin Trigger Company M-K IIA2 trigger and LPK Midwest Industries Combat Rail (length tbd) Criterion 1-8 16" hybrid profile 223 Wylde Midwest Industries Scope mount Vortex (send Sam a PM to see if anything on that is WI made or assembled in the <$2k range) Griffin furniture I know I could go with an MI upper. But trying to find another WI machined/produced mfger if possible. BCG still have no clue. Email sent to DEZ Arms inquiring. |

DEZ uppers are machined in WI so I'll go with one of them.
Looking like a St. Croix BCG. That's pretty much every major component. |

Got confirmation from SCT their bcg's are machined and assembled here. I think this is my final recipe:
Kuraki made lower - UFF DA 15, Lefse and Lutefisk for safe/fire Wisconsin Trigger Company M-K IIA2 trigger and LPK Midwest Industries Combat Rail (length tbd) Criterion 1-8 16" hybrid profile 223 Wylde Midwest Industries Scope mount Vortex (something, tbd) Griffin furniture St. Croix Tactical BCG DEZ upper receiver BCM charging handle BCM stubby forward grip Griffin M4SD Flash Comp Anyone know of an anodizer in WI with an FFL for my lower once it's machined? |

I've never used them, but it appears that GB Annodizing does have an FFL. They have pictures of finished AR uppers and lowers in the online photo gallery. https://www.gbanodizinginc.com/ |

We don't disclose sources, we do some plastic in Wisconsin and some out of state. You can't always use local suppliers if they aren't competitive. That being said if someone wants to DM me vendor info locally or otherwise please do!
The AR-15 sourcing game is tough because our guns are fairly high quality, fairly heavily featured, and that means mid to upper prices and lower volume of sale and we also can't literally make every part of the entire gun. Sometimes a supplier stops making an item or doubles a price overnight and the gun needs price stability, so we have to then make a part in house, or find a new quality vendor to replace that part. The AR15 component vendors are horrible at marketing, so sometimes if you lost a vendor for something quality it can be hard to replace them. I think a password access industry vendor forum would make sense to simplify logistics for rifle manufacturers on this forum. We go to the vendor expo at SHOT but we also see vendors walking the aisles who dont attend and some of them make parts like pinned forward assists for Colt etc. |

We’ve used GB anodizing for a few receivers and they did a good job.

American Defense Manufacturing in New Berlin makes lower receivers, upper receivers, rails, and scope mounts.

Almost all of my ARs are totally WI companies. With the exception of the Aimpoints I have Vortex glass on everything, ADM or MI mounts, and BCM or MI uppers and lowers.
