i'm not in favor of telling a guy to "not post" until he's read through a great deal of the material on this site - i'd likely never post if that were the case. i can say, however, that most of the stuff that is asked is covered somewhere somehow. i'd encourage you to use the "search" feature often - it is valuable.
most of the uppers i'm aware of fit the lower with no issue. they will say "fits ar 15 lower" or "fits ar 10 lower" etc... after you do some shopping around you'll find the ar platform is literally exploding. a few years back there wasn't a great deal of interest outside a select few to rechamber the ar rifles into other calibers. we now have different options all over the place.
i have a 6.5 grendel, 50 beowulf, .223, 5.56, and a .204 on the way. all of these will pin onto the lowers i have. .243, .308, 300RSAUM, and many others can be had as well. start checking out the forums and links and you'll pick up a ton of info.
i've lurked around a lot of sites, and opted to pay dues and become a team member here based soley on the value i placed on this site. there are many out there, but i've learned a lot and have enjoyed myself here especially.
i guess i can say welcome aboard and i'm sorry for the whole "texas" thing... i had a girlfriend from texas once - it ended poorly for me...
