I keep telling myself that I can own a unique upper without having to have a lower receiver for each one just use one of the other lowers and swap tops.
HAHAHAHA I can't do it, every time I get an upper I have to build out a lower I just can't seem to make myself believe that it is OK to have a half a gun.

Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

if I was in 3 gun competition I could see having a spare, other than that im kind of funny about it, all my lowers and uppers match brands {no franken guns}, and lowers are cheap enough to build why not have a full gun in a shtf situation

Okay I've been gone for two weeks what did you do now?
I am assembling 1 for the wife, taking my current 5.56 upper, replacing all the furniture with Muddy Girl Camo parts and giving that too my wife to shoot. I am going to assemble the other lower for another 5.56 for myself. I am using a nickel boron pin kit and BCG for that one and duracoating the lower and possibly the stock in a gray.

I have more lowers than uppers.

a couple uppers that are pretty much exclusively for my M16, a couple are pistons ... are I also have a few lowers in the safe that I built with no particular upper in mind. I picked them up because I liked the roll mark. They have nicer triggers ... 2 are pistol lowers and 2 of are SBR'd so I can put any upper on them.
A also have a couple alternates lowers for my HK ...
? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

You were asking Kimberkid but on mine any sighted upper remains zeroed as long as the sights are left alone.
Have you tried the same upper on two different lowers? What were the results? Thanks.

And a couple of those flat tops had no sights so I assume when you move one to a lower you have to re-sight it

My experience has been the same as steve45, the lower doesn't matter as long as the sights are left alone, additionally I've found that when a scope or red dot is zeroed to an AR upper, moving to another AR upper it's not zeroed but it's pretty close, usually within 2-3 inches at 100
