| Where should i start? Whats a good brand lower? any help im new to this whole thing just joined the fourm today. |

Spikes has one of the best deals on their so called blemished stripped lowers. They seem to be very nice. Aero Precision has some very good stripped lowers at surplusammo.com.
There are others out there at a little bit more and some a little less in price. If you want a name brand lower, you will pay a little, to alot more. Go to the Industry forum and just start shopping for lowers. |
All AR15 parts are interchangeable because they are all built to mil-spec (or supposed to be). Some fit and finishes are better than others and the adage "you get what you pay for" applies. If you really research AR15.com thoroughly you will find preferred product and stay away from product and EVERYBODY has an opinion here!!! 
IMO: Mega Machine makes great looking lowers and uppers for the money. Rock River makes great lower parts kits for the money. Bravo Co makes great Bolt Carrier Groups for the money. Magpul makes great everything for the money. Research, research and then research some more. Have fun and ask lots of questions. 
Cheers,

Take your pick:
LMT Lauer DS arms PWA Eagle Armalite Knights Armament, Barrett Stag Rock River Arms Red River Tactical High standard Noveske, Century Global tactical CLE S & W MGI Wilson Tactical Grenadier Precision Colt LAR Bushmaster Ameetec DPMS CMMG Double star Fulton Armory Spikes tactical Grizzly LRB Charles Daly Mega GSE Dalphon POF Alexander Arms American Spirit Arms Olympic SGW Tromix Palmetto Frankford Century Sun devil Sonja - SI Defense SNOS SNS Industries, Inc Larue Superior Arms Defensive Edge/CY6 Aero Precision Yankee Hills Machining Iron Ridge Arms Territorial Gunsmith’s Six Sigma Arms Tactical Innovations Hughes Precision Essential Arms Kaiser Defense Cavalry Arms Anvil Arms Delaware Machine Carolina Mountain Tactical Magpul R-Guns TNW Tactical Machining RGM, Inc Del-Ton, Inc ADS (Advanced Defense Systems) AGP Arms Coastal Gun Mfg Ardel Enginering Denny’s Guns Sabre Defense Sharps Tom Sawyer Mfg Bravo Company I have used Spikes Tactical and will again. I also have Essential Arms, Superior Arms, DPMS, CMMG and Hughes Precision lowers. The only minor differences is in the internal configuration and magwell diminsions. My Spikes Tactical, Essential Arms and DPMS lowers will accept a "drop in auto sear", whereas my Superior Arms, Cmmg and Hughes Precision lower will not. Otherwise there's not much difference between them other than the logo. Do you ever attend gun shows? Some times you can pick up a used lower from a non-FFL table holder. Seeing that you're in Callifornia, they make a Califonication lower. The Fab-10. http://www.quarterbore.com/ar15m16/fab10.htm California Penal Code Section 12276.1 (a) Notwithstanding Section 12276, "assault weapon" shall also mean any of the following: (1) a semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following: (a) pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon. (b) thumbhole stock. (c) folding or telescoping stock (d) grenade launcher or flare launcher. (e) flash suppressor. (f) forward pistol grip. 5469 (a) "detachable magazine" means any ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with neither disassembly of the firearm action nor use of a tool being required. A bullet or ammunition cartridge is considered a tool. |

Quoted:
Is it true that you can use 22 rounds in your gun. if so can you swich back to a bigger round rather easy? Yes you can shoot 22. You have to buy a different BCG and new magazines but it is easy. If you want to switch back you put the old BCG back and use the .223 magazines. To your earlier post. You can order your own stuff and have it sent to an ffl. Just find one that will do the trasner for $25 before you have it sent to them. You only have to do this for the lower reciever. Everything else, including the lower parts kit that you mentioned can be shipped to your door. |
