M&A Upper Complete
New Frontier Lower Complete -(**Edit Poly) UTG Butt-stock PSA Alum Mag - Yep, I built 2 
3 Weeks of Lurking on this board... Thanks to the Board for finding me these parts. I started with an ATI Lower (PSA) and LPK, but that fell through the cracks, Ended up selling off the LPK I hope to Get to the range in a few days. Only additional Fee was my FFL Transfer I did purchase a bunch of other spare parts to have on hand as well, but that is just in case.... http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk102/bofessional/Completed_zpsdee56067.jpg |

I know the ATI has had a lot of complaints , but I do feel better about New Frontier . That being being said, NF offers a lifetime warranty, and there torture test videos are compelling. This is my first build, and I have to start somewhere, I know I will eventually upgrade everything eventually.... But for now, I'm in the Game, and not out a lot of cash...

If it does break should not be hard to swap parts out. FYI PSA has forged aluminum lowers for $119 in stock right now. grabbed me one. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/firearms/receivers/psa-ar15-lower.html |

Going to range now... Using one of my other optics... I hope I come back, and nothing broke.. |

It was a UTG $25- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BR4VQ0/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 But I'll use a different optic any ways... Came back from Range, I'm a happy camper, put 60 rounds through each, no issues. I know some folks had issues with first and 2nd rounds, but I think my full clean prevented that from happening on these M&A uppers.
