Local shop didn't have any IMR 3031 this evening, but they did have these. Anderson stripped lower for 55 bucks. Going to build a lower for the 20 inch rifle. Need suggestions for an LPK.
I built the upper that will sit on this lower from an Anderson blem. And couldn't be happier. I followed his build. I understand taking pride in what you create, but my standards aren't quite as high as his. If I have serious fitment or function issues with this lower then I will be disappointed. Cosmetics are low on my priorities list though.Anderson did Oli dirty.... I'll learn from his mistake, but hope it works out for you diesel
Thanks LES. I forgot all about Joe Bobs. They also had the LuthAR stock I want to use on this rifle.If you're looking for one stop shopping, I've used these Spike's kits in several of my projects. These are good quality and very consistent...

On my last few I've been piecing together lower parts separately though. There's not really a kit out there that has everything I want, like winter trigger guards, reduced power trigger springs, anti-walk trigger pins, etc. The trigger and springs are the most important parts in an LPK and the cheaper kits usually include a run of the mill junk trigger to keep the cost down. I spend a little extra on the trigger parts and the rest of the pins, springs, and detents can be pieced together for next to nothing...
I have a PTAC (w/ MOE) Lower Build Kit and had 0 issues... perhaps I haven't run enough ammo through it yet 200ish roundsNot ptac
There she is, my first 100% built by me. Anderson lower, Spikes LPK and stock/tube/buffer and spring given to me by a buddy. Trigger will have to be upgraded soon, its twice as heavy as my M&P I did polish it before I put it in though. Dunno if I'll keep the stock or go to a fixed length adjustable or skeleton type yet. Have to shoot it awhile. I'll upgrade parts one by one, and have a nice collection of spares. Later this summer I'll probably get another lower. And build another carbine. Then put the M&P back to factory original.
Even a blind squerel finds a nut from time to time
One would let the hammer loose on safe, 0 rounds
One never had issues but it was the nastiest trigger I ever pulled on an AR
