I'm meeting a gentleman to.... Buy my first AR! Yay!

Anyway, I'm meeting him in Morganton (halfway between us) but know little about the town. Is there somewhere that you all know of that would be a good place for us to meet and make the swap? Preferably right off of I-40 in that general area.

Thanks!

I would use exit 100 it's The Jamestown exit. There is a very large fle market 1/2 mile away from I 40.
If your heading west on 40 you need to turn right on jamestown road .If going east you need to make a left. The fle market is open on weekends.

@WeeWee, thanks for the info. Sounds like a good place if I can get him to agree on it. :)

@Chris,
It's a DPMS 20" flat-top, A2 stock, bayo-lug, flash hider, 2 mags, 100 rounds of ammo and a cleaning-kit for $600. The only thing it's missing is a carry-handle/BUIS, so I'm trying to sort that out now.

Any suggestions for a cheap alternative to those $80 BUIS?

I hate to say it, but maybe eBay.  

I did a quick search on there for "DPMS" and a bunch of carry handles popped up.  It looks like ~$55 shipped if you go the Buy it Now price.

It'll probably be some CHICOM stuff, but it'll work.

If you have time, wait it out and something will pop up on the Equipment Exchange.

RuinII try CDNN for a carry handle. They have them for $50.00. I got one of them last year and it was made by DPMS . I don't know if the ones they have now are DPMS but it's worth a try.

The web site is www.cdnninvestments.com

Watch out for some of the cheapy airsoft versions. You really get what you pay for.

ETA:Post some pix of the new gal when you get her.
