I have been searching both at stores and online for a Rifle.  Of course it is an AR15 and it is my first personally owned but def not my first time with the weapon system.  I have never bought things online for a gun and it is starting to be a hassle.  I was on JoeBobs and found a Spike's complete upper that I like but it still has the Bayo lug and a Flash Hider.  I couldn't find a compliance option like some websites have. 

 

Then while looking around I can find stripped uppers that will ship to FFL within 24 hours but they have no LPK because they are on backorder.  Do I have to stay with ST's LPK or will any LPK work just fine. 

 

I thought about doing the chrome lined Barrel Del-Ton Rifle Kit which comes with everything BUT a stripped lower. 

 

It is much more expensive to buy a ST fully built IF you find one.  I like the ST and the M&P15, hate bull barrels, want chromemoly or chrome lined, trying to keep it as cheap as possible before the wife changes her mind.  She bought me a gun safe for christmas but doesn't think i know lol but I only own pistols and want something to start filling it!  I missed black friday deals she told me like 4 days ago "Rather than get you the expensive green laser and holster for your pistol, why don't you get that rifle you want." (I have never been more in love with that woman) 

 

I know this is in all kinds of directions but any tips pointers or deals that you know of or maybe see in your range please let me know!  Thanks guys!

MidwestPx has some LPK

 

Buy the upper first then bring it or ship it to FFL here for compliance work

 

Then order your lower

PSA is having a great sale on lowers and a complete upper it, check it out Palmettostatearmory.com just have it sent to an ffl for compliance work and buy a comp. Great rifle will cost you $750 total including fees, compliance work and a muzzle device

From PSA:

Blem lower $59

Complete upper and build package (CHF); $509

Shipping: $15

Transfer and NICS: $45

Compliance work $100

Muzzle device: $45

 

Total: $775 give or take

IF they will ship it, just ship the non-compliant upper to your house. Anyone can shave a bayo lug, and the flash hider isn't too difficult to do. You may save money paying someone to just do the flash hider. 

 

Building your own upper is fun too. You need to buy a $35 wrench then. Just get a barrel with the gas block and everything on it. 

 

Also, LPKs are universal. Just get a quality one, I like CMMG.

Some are different sizes, and some guns (such as some Colts) have different size pin holes. No, not talking about the takedown pins. The LPK pins.
