Madhouse Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 I was doing some inventory and found a couple of stripped lowers in one of the safes, so I guess I'll do a couple of builds. Anyone have an all-in-one lower build kit they've used recently. It's been a minute since I've shopped for any AR parts at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have an all-in-one lower build kit they've used recently. It's been a minute since I've shopped for any AR parts at all. Last couple that I have done were built with ERGO Enhanced Lower Parts Kits, or Armaspec lower parts kits. Armaspec makes all the hardware that goes into the ERGO kit, and ERGO repackages it and throws in one of their grips. Comes down to whether or not you like ERGO grips. I couldn't find anything on ERGO's website, strangely, but the kit it out there in the wild. It includes this: If you just do the Armaspec-branded kit, it includes this: The Armaspec ambi safety is pretty nice, and it's convertible from 90* to 45*, if you want or need that. I'll run 45s all day long, over 90s. They're in stock at Armaspec. Shop around, and if they're in stock at other vendors, they might turn up cheaper. https://armaspec.com/lower-parts-kit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted July 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Nice, thanks Tom. Time to go shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GunPusher has been stocking those, so it's been both lazy and easy for me, but the parts are great quality. I was looking online, for links to vendors, just to give examples in this thread - and everything looks like it's out of stock. If you need a few, I'll get them from my GunPusher and send them.

Madhouse Posted July 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 I'm kind of digging this kit, and the upper is already complete. Mostly mil-spec stuff, but it's easy, and I don't need these damnable AR's to distract me from my 1911's anyway. https://www.righttobear.com/Ghost-16-inch-5-56-Rifle-Build-Kit-Burnt-Bronze-p/gf16e14gfr556bb-kit.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Those lower parts are all CMMG - they're the only ones that bag them in those colored bags like that. Just info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted July 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Thoughts on CMMG parts? They also offer others. I'm leaning towards this shop since they're veteran owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhouse Posted July 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Lol. So I think I'll go milspec on one and do a nice accurate build on the other. I'll post with progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhouse Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 I bought two kits, told my father-in-law we can build them together next trip up and he can keep his. Just need a couple of uppers now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
