Is it worth the extra $100 to get the complete lower? I have a broken lower already with all the parts I need to put on the new lower, I've just never done one. Also I don't have the tool for the buffer nut, if that's what it's called. I already have a magpul stock and grip so I don't need those off the complete lower, they would just be extra. I can't make a decision on which to get. I think the extra $100 might be worth my inexperienced time and some extra parts. Help please.

I hope the links work.

What are you trying to accomplish?  Do you already have a complete upper as well? Is it just your lower receiver that's busted?

If you have everything for the lower except the receiver, I  would just get that. A lower build is super easy, and an armorers tool is fairly cheap (also nice to have).

On the other hand, the complete lower is a good deal, and you would have spare parts to start another build!

Cleared that up for ya, huh?

In your case, I think the complete lower from PSA is the best option.  Maybe you can sell your busted lower with all the parts to someone locally who can easily disassemble it for just the parts.
