| I know this has been beat to death...but...I have a stripped LWRC lower in the safe and a complete LMT lower available for purchase. I am trying to decide if I should build the LWRC lower or buy the complete LMT. I would prob just sell the stripped lower if I purchased the LMT so I'm leaning torwards building it. I would be replacing the trigger and grip in the complete lower but would have a complete lower to shoot versus waiting on parts and the 5 minutes to put it together. This would be for either my Noveske Light Recce upper or my 16.1 Noveske bareled upper from Denny's. |

I would buy the LMT lower, especially if you're planning on putting a Noveske upper on it. I say this because I have found that LMT lowers and Noveske uppers match perfectly
in both fit and finish, not to mention quality. It also seems that factory completed uppers, lowers, and rifles hold their value better in the long run. |
| Well I have one complete LMT lower for my factory Noveske upper. I'm thinking I'll build the stripped lower and if I don't like the fit I can always try to find another complete lower. I think the LWRC lower is CMT and the upper on my Noveske barreled upper from Denny is CMT. Should fit well. |

Quoted:
Building an AR is about getting exactly what you want. If a manufacturer makes exactly what you want then buy it. I have found out that you really don't save much money by building your own. If you buy everything outright from dealers then I would agree you dont save much, but if you are patient and wait for oportunities they you can save yourself a lot of cash. Ive already save atleast $500 on my SPR project nad its only half done. |

You can buy a finished rifle and pay twice as much as you would have a year ago, or put it on back-order and wait 6 months, maybe a year. Even then, it might NOT be able to find the exact rifle you want.
You can build a rifle, paying twice as much for parts at shows and auction sites, or do a lot of searching and calling, and wait on back order for 3 to 9 months for parts at regular prices. Such is the case right now with the panic buying going on with what most fear will be a definite ban in the near future. I'm sure there is a good deal out there, but you'll probably have to spend a lot of time and effort going through the inflated prices and long back-orders to find it. |
