Kind of depends on your budget. If you're just getting into building your own AR I'd start with PSA (Palmetto State Armory) build kits. Easier on the pocket book and still very reliable. Aero and Rainier are good places to go if looking for a local manufacturer. But with a "blem" kits from PSA you can build your own for roughly $600.

Joeboboutfitters.com I buy from them all the time for myself and clients they have some solid pricing on stuff. Plus free shipping on I think 90.00 and free t shirt if you hit 150. Check them out

I've used PSA and Aero, among others.  I have three Aero lowers waiting on me to finish up this recent move.  No issues in any case.

Most of my parts came from Midway, Rainier Arms, and PSA.

Facebook groups, usually looking for used (not barrels/receivers) but 60% of face value is what I aim for.

In the age of supply chain shortages ... pretty much any website I can find it in stock.

There isn't one site I'm married to.

For accessories, I will type into Google what I want and then shop for the best price across like 5-10 websites.

For actual gun bits, I generally shop Palmetto State for good affordable goods and Aero Precision for "nicer" and sexier bits.

Primary has a decent selection of parts, AR Pistols, Uppers and Lowers, etc...
