what would be a good lower to fit this kit? if possible keeping the entire build at around $600. also what is the difference between a stripped lower and a lower?
I'm an AR noob but have always wanted one, and if building a $600 AR would end up being that much better i could comfortably foot the extra $100 or so.
the stripped lower is just the lower "frame" housing...with no internal parts such as a trigger, but it's where those parts (lower parts kit) go......if they don't specify stripped it's anybody's guess as to what it actually is they offer....in reference to kits such as these which say "complete rifle kit except lower, then it is everything you need but the stripped lower......
the same company has a good price on their lowers usually.....unless you want to pay too much for brand name you can easily find lowers for $100 tops...i've payed less but it's not as common
