Ok as the title states i got a question for all you ar-15 guru's. Any day now i should be receiving my ar kit, and wondering what brand of lower receiver you would recommend or go with , if you were working off a very very tight budget. I have seen a few out there but dont know about their quality. I'll give a list of the ones i have come across with the price and you guys fill in your thoughts and exp with them.
Thanks in advance'
John


1. Del-ton $120
2. Spikes $100
3. aero percision $75
4. Sharps mil spec $75-$55
5. Double Star
I have a delton, plumb crazy, aero, and surplus ammo. Aero makes surplus ammo.

all 3 are superb pieces of kit for the money you will be happy with each. If you are building a 2000 dollar rifle maybe not. but sub 1200, yeah damn fine equipment.

Sorry I am late to the game over here. I build custom AR's for competition and tactical at the LGS I work at, so if you need any help, have questions, or just need a sounding board, feel free to contact me. I also may be able to acquire certain parts at a decent price. Just because I own several, and build even more, doesn't mean I am an AR snob, you can build a good quality gun at a reasonable price. You can also build a top quality, top tier rifle for a higher price, but always build one you can afford, and afford to shoot. Skills are always better than gear...

Better late then never Bill,
Thanks for the support. I still have a couple of things i need to get on my build list. Castle nut wrench and the butt stock plate between lower receiver and 6 postion stock, so that i can attach a single point sling to it.
Other than that im ready to rock
BTW... i picked up a Mid Length Quad rail (alum) with enough rail covers to cover 2 of the four rail for a staggering $40.95 shipped to my door BNIB...cant beat that any where.
