I hear ya. I wanted mine to be short, light and set up for hunting, either in the brush or blind/stand. I like the low profile, flat top look, free of attachments to keep stuff from snagging on it walking in the woods. I do not think you could go wrong anyway you build it. After the ease of building this one I don't think I would pay the premium for a complete lower already assembled. I would spend my money on the upper and build the rest.
if you dont mind me asking, how much do you have into that AR? im looking into getting one real soon
love the high tech tools you got there, sorry the chop stick I sent you didn't work out lol. at least you got it all together with no parts left over and didn't have to bring it to a smith in pieces. you must be a little more mechanically inclined than you let on. good job

I spent $79 on the lower. Everything else I traded for.

Yeah I was worried about not having the correct punches for the roll pins, but a nail works just the same. Sorry about that chopstick, it was one of those things where I didn't know what I didn't know. Even with good instructions, the originals sights were so hard to remove I thought I might be doing it wrong. However the new ones went in so well, I had alot more confidence.
