I went with a Tactical Innovations machined lower with stainless bushings and pins. Added the AR Gold trigger set, quick release pin, BAD lever and it is one sweet shooting machine. Going to get up to Sequim later this winter and see if Steve can call in a cat to shoot.

One piece of advice, make sure you get an upper that has an 8:1 or faster twist (if that's possible)  :chuckle:

I know this isn't the classifieds but it is an AR thread and I just remembered that I have a Eotech Transverse XPS2 Red Dot Holo Sight for sale. Price is right.

Definatly a 8 or faster, 9s suck for the heavies and I havent found a 9 twist yet that will shoot the 162gr SS109's worth a damn. 9's are great for the light or varmint stuff.

Back to the build idea, building a lower is stinkin easy.
I suspect someone on here has a vise block and a support jig for the pins....maybe they'd share.
Upper is a little more involved, again the right tools make the difference.

For the first one you may want to buy an already assembled upper or get help from someone who has built one.  The lowers are easy and can be built on the couch, please just watch something better than Oprah.

I really like my Oly Arms uppers, of course they are just down the road from me so it is convenient to drop in and shoot the bull.
