Can anyone reccomend to me the least expensive quality AR-15 lower recievers? I want to build my own varmint rifle and i think i can save some money buying a lower, then a heav barrel upper. Im talking about complete lower recievers here, not stripped.
I dont know a whole lot about building one myself, but as i understand it if i buy a complete lower and complete upper all i have to do is put them together and i have a rifle, right? If not, then what else is required Thanks!?

The primary reasons I recommend against the build-your-own approach are: the finishes won't match, if you have any problem with functioning you have no one to go to for warranty service, and you will get substantially less for a Mixed Parts Mongrel when you want to sell it.

I suggest you brown-bag-it for lunch for a month or two, and forego the beer on weekends. Then you will have enough money to buy a first class rifle.

I have made lowers from ForgeCraft waste chunks.
Right now the Stinger,Rock River and Olympic forged can be bought for less than $100 and are MilSpec.
