WELL GUYS I DID IT.  I AM NOW AN OFFICIAL AR OWNER.  I BOUGHT MY LOWER FROM CMMG AT THE LAST GUN SHOW;  BY THE WAY THESE GUYS ARE  GREAT IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM DO SO YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED.
   DPMS LOWER FROM CMMG:  $240
   DPMS SS 20" FLAT TOP FROM MIDWAY USA: $449
      (THATS COMPLETE WITH BOLT;CARRIER;AND
       CHARGING HANDLE)
COST OF MY BUILD PROJECT: $689 (+/-)
IT SURE PAYS TO BUILD IT YOURSELF, IF I WERE TO BUY THIS CONFIGUREATION FROM DPMS IT WOULD COST
$950 + F.E.T + ANY TRANSFER FEES + ANY SHIPPING ETC... ($1100 +)
I AM JUST GLAD THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET SO MUCH INFO FROM THIS SITE, MADE THE PURCHASE AND ASSEMBLY MUCH LESS COMPLICATED.

Sorry you came down with the sickness.  Many here share your plight.  I've never heard of a cure, so you're pretty much doomed.





And we need pics.

Congratulations on your new AR.  You will have to give a range report on how it shoots.
