Just got my complete upper today to finish the build on my first AR15. The upper and lower fit together like a glove and everything passed a function check. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment. Can't wait to take it out to the range this weekend and see how she shoots

Specs:

PSA M4A1 complete upper with 16" barrel, 1:7" twist, A2 sight and flash hider
PSA Stripped Lower
Spikes LPK
Magpul MOE 6 pos mil spec stock
PSA buffer assembly
Magpul 30 rd PMAG
Magpul MBUS (until I buy a scope)

Looks good! Just out of curiousity, why'd you go with a Spikes LPK vs a PSA, since you went with PSA for everything else?

Well, I initially was going to go with a Spikes lower and LPK, so I bought the LPK first and by the time I got around to buying the stripped lower ( waiting on illinois FOID card), everything was basically out of stock and then I found the PSA lower and it seemed just as good so I picked it up for the same price as the Spikes.

I know there are tutorials and manuals out there but assembling my own lower receiver is still a scary idea to me. Too much stuff to lose.

haha I understand what your saying, I had a couple instances where buffer retainer and spring shot up to the ceiling because i loosened the extension just a little too far. Luckily those came right back down in the same spot and are easy to see. I was able to get the pivot pin and spring in on the first try luckily. I used a razor blade knife to hold it in while I pushed the pin in front of it (saw that trick on a you tube video), worked out pretty well.
