I have been bitten!  Started out as a DPMS Panther Bull 20" with A2 stock and a JP trigger.  Now has an LMT lower that I had traded a bow for.  Switched the trigger over because I like the way the LMT fit the upper better.




What rings/scope are you using?

They are Burris rings and the scope is just one of those cheap Simmons Whitetail Classics that Midway has on sale all the time.  It is a 6-20 I believe and not too bad of a scope for the $$.

i was talking with a couple contractors the other day running a pair of H&K full autos with 14inch barrels 12 inch rails, eotechs, rotating rear peep sight and flip up front sight. With the collapsable stock they whole rig was super short.

I was drooling.

 :drool:

The guy popped it open and pulled the carrier out to show me an almost clean bolt face...... with 300+rounds shot since last cleaning. gotta love piston driven.

Thanks for the reply. I was leaning towards a Mega or Spikes, but found a website selling 3 Aero's for $220 and thought about putting a few in the safe. It's just the lower, as long as everything fits right I don't care. It's what's on top that matters.

For the most part a lower is just a lower, the only thing that will truly separate them are the finish and minor features.  At least to me, and for the price Aero is hard to beat and you are supporting a local manufacture, Aero is a Washington based factory. 

those are nice but i prefer the old school military look that and a scope don't help much for home defense my AR looks exactly like the cheaper than dirt sticker ones other than a laser mount on the handle, just point and shoot, now that i have this one i will be getting one for predator hunting they are super versatile. not dissing your ar's they are awesome.

Well depends on the sight.  A red dot in my opinion is the best thing that you can have for close to medium range and I use it extensively.  A low powered fixed or variable zoom scope that is made with both longer and close range shooting like the Trijicon ACOG or Short Dot do just fine in CQB/CQM shooting.  A laser at any range but the range that you zero it at will have a different POI compared to the POA due to the offset of the laser to the bore, sometimes that can mean a shot outside the sweet spot or even worse a miss.  That and the limitations of the laser concerning to the environmental conditions, to bright can't see, dark and a visible laser might have well been a tracer.  Used both IR and visible, like the IR but given the chance I would rather aim down a sight than rely on it.  Also one thing that isn't pictured on my AR's is a tac light, would not clear a room without one being available.

Here's my new upper.  It's an 18" AR Stoner barrel on a Bravo Company receiver in .50 Beowulf.  Talk about a heart pounding experience when you start pulling the trigger!

Yeah, but the bullets in this thing weigh the same or more than my arrows!
