Is it any cheaper to buy a full lower half and then a full upper and snap them together yourself....or just get the full rifle already assembled?  I cant do the head spacing and install the barrel but can do the stock, upper, lower, charging handle, bolt, trigger assembly, etc....hell anyone that carried one any amount of time can do that from breaking it down for a full cleaning...but do they really charge a $100 or more just to push a couple pins together?

There is an excise tax on fully assembled guns, you can buy an upper and lower cheaper separately if you look around.

Then that is what I will do....as I also assume you must buy them at different times even though they may be from same vendor?  This would keep shops from popping the pins and selling as pieces....

So who has the best deal on uppers and lowers for a RRA or Stag?  I have been to ADCO, Eagle and anothers page...all are pretty close.

I had PKFirearms build my upper, RRA FT with 14.5 Bushmaster barrel and pinned Flash hider and A.R.M.S. BUIS.  I was very pleased with the price and quality that they turned out.  I got my RRA lower with NM trigger from Eaglefirearms.net.  Again, pleased with their service.  I was going to build the upper myself however after buying the tools needed, It would have costed more than what PKFirearms charged me.  Same goes with the lower.  I say piece it together, I fun doing mine and I wish I would have put it together myself but couldn't justify the price difference.
