Got my first AR lower assembled

[onelochevy]

Well I just finished building up my first AR lower receiver. I figured doing it myself was the best way to learn exactly how these things work since I've really only handled an AR a couple times. Had a great time during the lower assembly now just gotta save some coin for the upper.

Specs:
Spikes Tactical stripped lower
RRA parts kit w/ ERGO grip
Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard
Magpul MOE stock
Magpul ASAP sling plate

This thing looks good!!! How much does something like this run? and if ordering does the lower have to be unassembled becouse its considered a firearm? and is it alot of work to put one together from a parts kit? sorry for all the questions, this just seems very interesting to me at the moment. Thanks.

Right now you can get a spikes lower for 89 bucks half off at their sight, magpul MOE like 55 bucks, lower parts kit from DPMS are running like 58 you can put one of these together pretty cheap. The market is right man buy, buy, buy. Nice get up by the way and how tight is that MOE stock does it have any play like a normal 6 position stock?

Just like sirisaac said, the stripped lower was only $89. That's the main reason I began this build. I had always wanted to try it so I figured now would be as a good a time as any. The lower receiver, even stripped, is still considered a firearm and has to be shipped to a FFL. Assembling the lower was very easy. This is my first time as well and when I took out the bag of parts in my lower parts kit I was kind of freaking out. But on AR15.com they have a great write-up that I printed out that shows you pictures of all the parts and has step by step instructions on how to put everything together. It was really very easy.

The MOE is $48.61 @ Brownells with the "dealer" discount.

With your lower and this almost complete upper, we'd almost have a whole rifle
