[QUOTE="wylekyote, post: 1770151, member: 4455"] Thanks. My "friend" (he's actually trying to make things right now, I'm going out to his place this evening to get the rest of the stuff he owes me and some cash back) who has his FFL and I just sat down and started ordering accessories online. I had shot and/or handled several AR's so I had a decent idea of what I wanted. I knew I wanted pop-up iron sights to co-sight with, and I got a good deal on that aimpoint with 3x flip over magnification (which I'm getting tonight and using in place of the trijicon reflex). I knew I wanted quad rails and I liked the feel of the bravo company free floating handguards, so I ordered those too. It was also nice to order online when I was getting things like my .22 kit, because all of the accessories are available at the same time (like the drum mag, which I haven't seen in any local gun shops). The only things that I've bought from a local store (vs online) are: Ergo grips ($28?) Single-point sling mount ($12?) Single-point sling ($35?) 6-24/50 scope (cheapy, but sure gets the job done) ($115) Scope rings/mount for picatinny rails ($40) I did find out that my upper is in fact a 16" BCM with chrome lined barrel and it was ordered with the handguards already installed I believe. We're going to check receipts tonight to see what lower and LPK I originally ordered (and paid for) and then he'll either give me the cash difference between my DPMS lower and the nicer one I actually bought, or I'll give him the DPMS back and have him order me the correct lower. Since I haven't had to mess with FFL transfers (I just assume that the guy I got the gun from is filling out the appropriate paperwork...) I can't remember for sure, is it the upper that requires an FFL transfer? Actually. . .It must be the lower that requires an FFL transfer, since it's stamped with all identifying info. . .so I guess I'll either get him to have the new lower shipped to his house or I'll have him send it to my local range/gun shop and just pay the transfer fee. He lives way the hell out in Hominy, and I'm from Tulsa, so it would probably be cheaper to pay the transfer fee at the range than drive to Hominy and back. Since it's looking like I'm going to be getting a new lower, and I'm not 100% on what brand I would like to replace it with (I'll find the receipt from the one I ordered and then I can add/subtract money as needed for the new lower), could anyone give me a good recommendation on brand?
