[QUOTE="CoolShi7Designer, post: 3642424, member: 48420"] Damn I got busy at work and couldn't finish my post. Lower Aero precision stripped $70-$90 I've never had any issues with Aero, they assemble well and seem to have good QC I don't have a dream build lower, I'd just use Aero. Upper There are a ton of decent complete uppers out there. I've built with compete uppers from Thunder tactical ~$300, Bear Creek Arsenal ~$250, and CBC industries ~$350. Bear Creek is the best quality IMO. For my dream build I'd buy another Gibbz side charging upper ~$280 Handguards This is 100% personal taste and I don't have a recommendation on anything being better or worse for a budget build. For a dream build, I've been looking at the lancer carbon fiber ~$310 Gas system For a solid budget build you can tune, stay with the normal DI system and get an adjustable gas block. IMO, this is one of the most necessary upgrades for any AR. Odin works mattress a good product as does spikes tactical ~$70 For the dream build, I absolutely love my Superlative Arms gas piston system. It was sucky to tune but oh man does it make for a clean shooting rifle. ~$290 Muzzle Budget: Kaw Valley Precision linear compensator ~$60 Dream: X2DevGroup VF18-X ~$149 I have both of these on different rifles and they both work great. I recommend the VF18-X highly. Fire control / trigger Budget: aero precision LPK ~$50 Dream: Timney drop in competition trigger ~$200 Runner-up: Double Tap Arms binary trigger ~$200 This is a badass binary for half the price of a Franklin or Fostech Optics / sights Budget: Dagger Defense (veteran owned) I use multiple reflex red dots from them for ~$60 Dream: Sig Romeo + Juliet magnifier ~$750 Does the Romeo need a review? The combo with the magnifier is awesome. Dagger also makes solid BUIS in straight and 45 deg. Mags I've never found a single poly mag that works better than mil-surp aluminum box mags. When I buy poly, I buy Amend2 ~$15 (FOR AR ONLY! the Glock mags I bought from them are complete shi7) These are my picks Thanks to you guys that have responded and hopefully we'll keep getting more posts on the thread [/QUOTE]
