If you can make it to Tacoma, Surplus Ammo and Arms on Puyallup Ave has everything you need.  I recently built my first AR in 6.5 Grendel and they had everything in stock.  The upper and lower are from Aero Precision made here in town.  They have a good selection of Magpul parts and many options for triggers; I put in a Giessele.

That is guys. I've been looking at stripped uppers and lowers all day. I think I am leaning towards the mega arms stuff. We will see how it turns out.

lmao Lamirth. I just ordered 2 Anderson lower parts kit form a gun shop. They get picked up today. I hope I have better luck with mine  :twocents:  ;)
Yeah I heard good things about them so I jumped on it.
1 trigger I had to take in to work and use a drill by by hand to debur the trigger pin holes.  The other one the disconnector was so rough that the trigger would not reset on its own and I had to cycle it 50+ times to get it to reset without pushing the trigger forward with my finger.

A website I used to find a couple of really hard-to-find parts was www.arpartsfinder.com

So as far as triggers g, the giessle trigger has caught my eye. But what is the deal with one vs two stage triggers?

Best all around "Two stage" trigger out there.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RRA-Rock-River-Arms-National-Match-2-Stage-Trigger-AR0093NMK-two-stage-/221514129510?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3393456066


Some will get you a lighter pull but the Rock River is hard to beat especially when wearing gloves in colder weather. Their not too light to hinder still feeling the trigger with gloves on.

I would be all over that but I won't be ready to start this build for a little while. I am still In the planning stages and research parts still. I am buying a new benneli next month so the funds are going there first. Thanks for the help guys
