I've taken the plunge. I bought 3 Anderson lowers when rural king had them on sale last week. I've been looking at parts and see a ton of things back ordered or out of stock.
I found a barreled receiver with a 24" bull barrel for $255 from R GUNS. Why 24"? It is $20 cheaper than the 20". I kinda want to do some long range lovin', so to speak. I have a DPMS AP4, my wife has a pink AR. (Yeah, I know). So I need the lower parts kit, some good glass, a bipod, and the BCG. What are your thoughts or opinions? Even though this is my first build, I'm career military. I've lost count of the number of times I've been range cadre, had to qualify, ect. I am very comfortable with the AR platform. I'm looking for performance over tacticool. I know this is 5.56 not .308 so my expectations are within reason. So is my budget. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the other 2 lowers. So what would you guys and gals do?
