So I'm finally ready to purchase an AR15. I'm going to go with a BCM upper but I'm having a hard time deciding on a lower. I would like to get a BCM but they are like $380 with a cheap stock, which just seems like a rip off to me. CMMG has a lower without the stock assembly for $180 but I'm having trouble contacting anyone about the availability. I really don't want to wait for 3 months for the lower. I also see that PSA has a nice lower with MOE stock included for $300. What do you think about matching a PSA lower with the BCM mid upper? Is this blasphemy?
One more question... Does this MOE stock allow for attaching a sling? http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/lower-parts/lower-receivers/complete-psa-ar15-lower-moe-edition.html Thanks for your help. |

The Magpul CTR has a QD socket and friction lock, the MOE does not.
99% of the receivers on the market today are good to go. I had the misfortune of buying a Roggio Arsenal lower that was very out of spec. The quality of the parts kit you put in it is more important than the receiver itself IMO |

The CMMG you mentioned is a bit high in price. Also they have tight mag wells and poor flaring in my opinion. But that doesn't mean I dont use mine, it does have a nice finish (if that happens to matter to you). Look at the rainier arms lowers along with some of the others people have recommended. I think the rainier is the nicest lower I own and you definitely cant complain about the price!

Most are GTG regardless of price. I'm a sucker for curves though, so I just had to drop the cash on a Seekins lower for my current 300 Blackout build I'm putting together. I just got one too. Its a work of art. http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv219/Dredd308/LeftLower.jpg I'm going to cerakote it in burnt bronze. Work of art indeed. 
I purchased a matching Seekins upper and rail as well for my build. Just waiting to find/purchase the Noveske barrel and DD LPK I want for it, and then it will be my ideal 300 Blackout. |
