So my complete lower along with those two items in links above would make my gun a finished product? Is there anything I'm missing that I'll need to buy to make it a complete is the question.

You'll also need a charging handle. Have fun!

 

[KingGeorge]

Thanks! I knew I was missing something.

Does it matter if the charging handle is alloy or steel?

It doesn't matter, although I don't remember ever seeing one made of steel. Any standard charging handle will work.

There's a steel one. And it has a (extended checkered latch) what does it do that the standard one doesn't. It's the only one they have that has a extended checkered latch. Also cost about 25 bucks more than the standard one.

If you have a fat optic that blocks the standard charging handle like I do, you want the extended one. Otherwise, get a milspec one.

Okay cool. I plan on putting a red dot scope on the top and a flashlight somewhere. With that upper in the link above would I be able to mount a scope and flashlight on it as is or would I need to add something?

 

[jimbobborg]

The red dot should be easy, it's the flashlight that will give you problems. Most people who put flashlights on their ARs have rails for handguards. You can either get handguards with rails, or get a FSB flashlight mount.

Get a BCM Gun Fighter handle. Works well with optics.

And Mag-Lite has a model called the XL50. It has a 1 inch tube and mounts very well using 1 inch rings. High, Low, and Strobe.

Enjoy the build.

 

[KingGeorge]

Thanks, I'm going to invest in that FSB mount.

Where you from in North VA?

 

[KingGeorge]

Ohhh I'm digging that flashlight. Love the flashing option on it.

Why do I need a bcm charging handle though?

 

[enjoi1968]

Bcm CH = best feels

 

[KingGeorge]

Yeah I ran too YouTube lol. The dude explaining it and showing examples of 3 differant charging handles showed why the BCM one was the best. Says you can rack it with one hand. But then again he looked like a pro. So I don't know. For 43 bucks it oughtta be the best though. When the standard is 15 bucks.

I'm in Woodbridge.

 

[KingGeorge]

Cool. My sister stays down there in Woodbridge. What range do you go too?

And it's perfectly fine for me to bring my guns into Virginia and shoot at a range right?

Watch out for DSArms, they are soooooo freaking behind, they complete their shipping and backlog for about 6 to 8 months... call first before ordering...

Lol thanks for the heads up. I'd be pissed if I had to wait that long and they label the item (in stock)

I go to Sharpshooters in Lorton and the NRA Range in Fairfax. Yes, you can bring your guns down here to shoot at a range. I'd suggest you get a non-resident concealed carry permit and you can strap on when you cross the border. The Quantico Tactical store in Woodbridge has BCGs in stock for what you're paying, and the last time I went, they had AR uppers in stock, too. Sharpshooters stocks all kinds of AR parts, and if you get to Manassas, Virginia Arms had a bunch of AR parts, too.

PSA had these complete upper in stock, fired and tested for head space... guaranteed to work...$349 shipped after 15days. They assemble their upper per order so the wait is still acceptable...
