CMMG decent quality lower?

[arizonaguide]

Well, I got poking around with the pricing, and found the AR Build thang on Brownells.
Here's my basic plan. I know it's pretty plain...but that's the Keep It Simple concept.
SO, here's the "general" overall GOAL:

Here's the link to the program:

Nice looking gun, are you going to shoot any competitions with it?

What price range are you looking at? Larue makes a nice gun too. They are pricey though.

Thanks JJ! No just for screwing around...short range zombie/mexican invasion/around the neighborhood stuff. ;) It's going to be a 16" barrel. VERY simple and plain.
Iron sights for now, RedDot of some kind later.

Mostly doing it to afford it one (paycheck) piece at a time, and to REALLY learn the platform to help with work.

Lots of help from Koz, 82nd, and JAB, in keeping me out of trouble and guidance in systems operation, tricks, and shortcuts. Scored a lower parts kit from a friend (above) and just getting ready to put it together (the lower!).

TOOOOOOO MUCH FUN! and learning a shitload! I Already seem to know more than the Boss at the Job (who's seems confused about pistons/gas tubes/etc). So, the "build" is already paying off!! I already get all the AR questions refered to ME, and I don't really know shit, compared to most of you guys...but I'm studying/learning pretty quickly. It helps because we (help) take care of several local Law Enforcement departments, and many of the Sheriff's Dept. folks. Great people doing a difficult JOB here. THANK GOD for the Lots of help and guidance here! I just PASS IT ALONG to other brothers.

Bro, I have a book at work that is a M4/M16 pocket guide. It is from a former Delta guy. Here is a site you can pick it up at. I highly recommend it.

LOWER RECEIVER PARTS ASSEMBLY

:)

Here is a link that has the step-by-step assembly instructions for your lower receiver, for beginners!
If you have never assembled a lower receiver part-by-part, these step-by-step videos make it very easy.
http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-assemble-the-lower-receiver-on-your-own-ar-15-rifle-267084/view/

There is also a link here: http://dynamicarmament.com/items/ar...-kit-d-p-m-s-ar-15-lower-parts-kit-detail.htm
that I used to help identify each small part for each step.
http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/v...receiver-on-your-own-ar-15-rifle-267084/view/
The tools I needed were a simple pair of needle nose pliers, a rubber-tipped C-clamp (instead of the magazine block), a small punch, large common (flat) screwdriver, and a small ball peen hammer. It went VERY smoothly following the steps in the videos.
