[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3547891, member: 9374"] I'd be happy to help ya figure some things out. If you want to PM me, I can help you walk through some of the choices. For "mid range" it's kinda a matter of preference. Start with your lower - I use a lot of Anderson, which are budget priced. For "midrange" you might look at something like Spike's or Aero, but I honestly have used those and don't find them any better than the budget ones. For the most part, I think a forged is mostly a forged, almost all the same with minor differences - the rollmark is about it. lol Unless you look into some of their billet options. Billet isn't quite as strong as forged, but still plenty plenty strong enough for everyday and even hard use. The benefit of billet is a cooler look, sometimes integrated options like trigger guard, more flared magwell, etc. Lots of cool aesthetic options. That's my take on it. I've used all of the above, depending on my desire for whatever rifle I'm building. Decide if you want an ambi safety before you buy your lower. After lower receiver, look at other options like your grip, your LPK (these are by and large mostly the same) and your buttstock. Some neat upgrades can be anti-walk pins for trigger, extended takedown and pivot pins, ambi or extended mag and bolt release. Or do a drop in trigger, which is a nice upgrade and isn't too expensive these days, companies like Rise Armament make some decent options that aren't priced like a Geissele. Or an upgraded but not complete drop in unit like a Larue MBT. That's a start... [/QUOTE]
