$1,000 + DPMS lower? I'd sell the lower in the EE and start a new build.

the dpms lower reciever is actually pretty nice and a lower is just that and only serves to contain the lpk and stock. keep the lower and use the money for other things |

$1000 sounds like at least 2 "new" AR's built off the EE.
What kind of setups do you have now? What are you looking at? |

Was just offering what I thought I would do in his situation...not trying to start another DPMS bashing thread. I'd start another MEGA / CMT build. |

A grand will buy an entire rifle from most of the top manufacturers.

LMT M4 upper, Eotech, ARMS #40, CMT BCG. I'm biased, thats my newest setup on my LMT lower.

Well, I'm leaning towards the LMT upper actually ...
I currently have a Bushmaster M4 A2 rifle ... I love the rifle. It was my first black rifle it's just that it's time for another. I realize that $1k is a lot of money but I'm looking for a good A3 type upper and I do plan to go with the EOTech site. I looked at CMMG uppers as well and I've heard nothing about good things about the company ... I'm just not sure what to do yet. Someone mentioned I could have 3, possibly 4 uppers for $1k and I'm sure that 2 or 3 are certainly doable but would they be quality uppers ... ??? |

Out of curiosity, have you done business with Talon before? I've never heard of them but that doesn't mean much since I'm relatively new to the ar-15. |

Those were my thoughts as well ... I bought the DPMS lower from a buddy of mine who had shot it for awhile before I got a hold of it. I bought a 6 position stock from CMMG earlier last year to put on the lower too. Seemed like a good lower to me. |

Thought of this too but if I buy an entire rifle, I still have a lower sitting around waiting for me to pour more money into it ...  At least this way I remove the temptation.
