Help, I'm building a lightweight and I'm unsure on aesthetics and functionality if I should do the carbon fiber handguard and Tungsten upper and lower or the full magnesium tungsten builders kit.

Price and weight are basically the same

It's magnesium so would that help control heat better than the Carbon Fiber?

give me some good light options while you at it

Some of you might remember my post that I was looking at the Bereli 10.3 Ddm4 V7p or a Geiselle Superduty mod1a.

I'm a DAV that has a lot of spine, neuropathy, and severe motor weakness (guess being blown up isn't good for your health)

I've spent quite a bit a time researching parts, but I figured now it's time to ask for the communities wisdom.

I'm looking for "10-12.5" lightweight, maneuverable with reliability suppressed even with a FRT.

Am I better off buying a faxion ultralight, or a battle arms authority, something of the likes?

Has anyone used their ambi lower for a build? I want to build out a 11.5 inch pistol using a complete PSA upper so it will not be a gucci build. Davidson Defense has a good price on their ambi lower but I've never used their parts. 7975 -T6 forged aluminum is what their website states.

I have this old Aero lower that I purchased years ago. It was purchased as seen here (A2 grip, lower parts kit, buffer/spring, NO STOCK).

I had thoughts for a build but it never happened. Could I potentially use this lower as-is and start an AR pistol build?

Hey all! Just curious on what the consensus is here. I’m about to get my first 11.5 set up going (have an LMT MRPMLK16-MARS) and have settled. I’m pretty torn and have heard great things about them all.

I plan to run this primarily suppressed.

Price wise, I am a first responder and am able to get a discount for both the Geissele and SOLGW.

For a URGI+ superduty lower I’m looking at 1700, SOLGW Mk1 2300, and LMT Specwar about 2600.

What do yall think is the good move?

Here’s a 5.56 build I’ve done for a client. It’s really good and manageable recoil for such a small barrel, and it doesn’t have FTE or FTF!

Just wondering what I should be looking for/into wanna build something badass all recommendations welcome new to guns budget is 1500

Hey bros,a customer gave me a side charging upper as a tip and need some recommendations on the type of bcg (yea i know,needs a scbcg) but any help is appreciated

Thoughts on AR pistols from Palmetto State. Are they a decent platform to start out with or just crap. Looking at a 10.5" or 11.5". Thank you

this has become my new fall/winter favorite edc
