    Thanks for all the compliments. As for the grip, I've got nothing to compare it to so it will stay for now but I have looked around a little. I was also thinking of adding the Magpul BAD lever but just haven't found a deal on one yet.

    All done here, even added a Bushnell TRS-32 red dot, got a great deal on it. Hand guard is a Magpul Moe mid-length. Love the feel of it. Rear sight is a Magpul M-bus flip up. Now I just need to find a range to shoot it at. Just under 36" in length. Need a good sling and carry bag for it also. Any recommendations? Some parts were ordered on-line, some came from Rayco and some came from the gun show at Oaks, PA.8lyo3aq.jpg

    Almost complete here, just missing the hand guard. Upper was purchased from PSA assembled with an A2 flash hider(has since been removed and discarded) and had the battle sight gas block on it. Battle sight was removed and a Yankee Hill flip up front sight gas block was installed by my gunsmith.1OpD1hk.jpg

    Here's my complete lower receiver with rifle length buffer tube. Lower is a Stag as is the buffer tube assembly. Lower parts kit is from PSA, the classic lower parts kit. Magazine is a P-mag 20rd blocked permanently to 15 rounds.VvcEJ60.jpg

    I've never shot one and after reading here and elsewhere for quite a few months now I was able to persuade myself to build my own the way I want it. It's not complete yet, upper is at the gunsmith for compliance work to make it Jersey legal. I'm very glad I went this route from the recommendations here on this site. Tons of helpful people here to answer any questions you might have.

    So I put my lower reciever parts in today, twice! Thought I was all done and saw one last spring in the dish I had all the parts sitting in. I forgot to put the disconnecter spring in. Took it all apart and put the disconnecter spring in this time and put it all back together. I also managed to lose a bolt catch roll pin, little sucker went flying somewhere about twenty feet from me but luckily I had some extras. Not too dificult but it does take patience and a little know how. Thanks again for all the help here.

    I ordered a complete upper from PSA(http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/20039/s/ptac-16-midlength-5-56-nato-1-7-nitride-upper-without-handguards-with-bcg-and-charging-handle/category/4220/ ) last Friday and it came on Wednesday. Took it to the gunsmith today for the compliance work(muzzle brake) and a little extra. He's removing the front sight gas block and installing a gas block with a flip up sight on it. All I'll be missing is the furniture and and a rear sight that will most likely come from the next gun show at Oaks PA. I'll probably wait until after Thanksgiving to get an optic for it unless I run across a smoking deal somewhere sooner. I'm going to put my lower together this weekend hopefully. Thanks for all your help and I'll post some pics when it's done maybe next weekend.

    Thanks for all the replies. I actually made it back to the shop where I bought my lower today. Rayco Armory in Merchantville. Asked about complete upper receiver assemblies and he showed me a Stag model 3H on the Stag website. Said it's ready to go for NJ as is with the compliance option clicked on. On the Stag site they give you the option to have any upper made NJ compliant so that is a plus. I haven't seen any other sites that offer that service. Are there any? I was looking at a Red X also but just saw a lot of suspect reviews on them so they're out for now. Help is always appreciated and Thanks for your patience as this is my first build and I'd like to keep it simple.

    I've been reading a ton here lately on the topic of ar's. Learned a bit about federal law at the last gun show at Oaks. Went in my local gun shop and they just happened to get a couple stripped lowers in that day, so I bought one. A Stag lower in 5.56 nato. I'm trying to get this done on the more affordable side of middle ground pricing. I just want a legal plinker that is fun to shoot. I have a PSA Lpk coming and a rifle length buffer assembly also from Stag. I like the Magpul MOE mag404 stock for my build. After all this I'm confused about the uppers. I don't see any complete uppers listed as "Jersey legal". Is there such a thing? Or do I buy what looks good to me and take it to my local shop to have the muzzle brake work done. I just haven't had time to go back to the shop where I bought my lower receiver to ask my questions. Should I not assemble my lower until after my barrel is pinned? Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance.

    Ultimately it's your decision. If a pure bred is what you want then buy from a breeder, avoid the "puppy mills". I can understand the rescue option also. Breeders usually will give you a guarantee on your purchase. I have an Aunt who is a German Sheperd breeder for a long time and I've had a couple and they were amazing dogs.

    I bought my first there(Bangers) from Amy and have been back since and talked with Amy again. Very knoweledgable and friendly. Sad to hear AnA is closing but the other guy that works at AnA was a little hard to get info from when my wife bought her first gun(from AnA). Maybe just overworked from the volume of sales which pretty much seems to be the story in most shops I've been in lately.

    Recently bought my wife a Sig P-290. Sub compact size with a double action trigger and she racks the slide easily. I did take her out shopping for it so she could handle as many as possible to see what she liked. Also it was good for her to hear advice from several sales persons.

    Went to Bob's little Sport shop last Saturday afternoon with my wife and finally got to shoot my Buckmark plus UDX. Took 4 kinds of ammo for it. CCI mini mags, Federal hollow points, Troy Landry edition hollow points and Remington yellow jackets. All ammo cycled and ejected properly. However I didn't like the Remington as it was sparking when fired and seemed to get worse or I just noticed it more. Hopefully it didn't do any damage to the pistol. I cleaned and checked it over when I got home but didn't see anything to cause me any concern. Shot the Federal after the Remington and was much happier with the performance of the Federal ammo. Next time I'll see if I notice any difference between the Federal and the CCI. The gun was a pleasure to shoot and accurate. No complaints at all from my wife or myself. Probably shot 300 rounds total through it. We shot 2 other guns also. I may want to add a scope to be able to see the targets at a farther distance or maybe it's time to see an Optician. Any scope recommendations are appreciated.
