    Well I just purchased my first parts for an AR build. I bought a palmetto state armory stripped lower and parts kit. Normally I would do more research before buying but it was a deal I couldn't pass up. So when it comes in I'll post pics of what I got and me starting to assemble it. I am open to any suggestions because I will be very new to this and learning as I go.
    Can't wait to get started!

    Thanks BD. If she doesn't mind the blemished ones then it's a tough deal to beat. For $100 you get the lower and parts kit
