I just got a DPMS stripped lower to build my first AR. Im new to this and seeking some advice on what parts to get to build the lower. I want the gun to be mil spec and made with quality parts. My plan for now is to acquire parts as i get more money and build as i go. For now im only focusing on the lower and when its complete ill start getting parts for the upper. Iv been looking for lower parts kits and PSA has one in stock with a Magpul MOE grip and no trigger control group. It has the grip i want and im planning on using an ALG trigger but i just want to be sure im using a quality parts kit. heres the link to the parts kit:

i also plan on using a Magpul STR stock but im not sure what buffer, buffer tube or spring i should use.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I got my lower kits from PSA, good mil spec stuff.   I'm happy with mine, went together real well, no slop or play.

OP you will save a lot of money if you get the PSA kits with the full buffer spring, tube, buffer, and stock.  They even have some pop up for sale frequently with the ALG fire control group.  I just recommend this because it will save you lots of $$ in shipping.  PSA parts are great quality and they have worked well in all of my builds.  PSA even has some of these build kits that pop up with the fancier Magpul stocks like you are looking for.  The trick is to check PSA's website everyday, items often change that fast, and even go up for sale fairly frequently.  Lots of new builders on this site spend tons more money than they need to by not being patient.  If you can manage to wait and sit on your hands for a few weeks, you should be able to grab everything you want in one go and finish that rifle up nice.

Also a PSA upper would complete your build nicely.  They've been pumping those out with frequency too.
