While many might argue that "they only buy _____!"
I'd have to say that unless you are buying from some 3 world country, An AR15, is pretty much, an AR15.

Case in point......

After many hours of talk, I helped a very good friend put together an AR15. It was a Rock River lower, with a 24" stainless bull barrel A3 (flat top) kit from J&T. We put a better trigger on it, but still came in WAY UNDER $900.

My good friend is a retired Federal SORT Sniper, and his standards are, needless to say, quite high.

This rifle has already made him VERY, VERY happy....and It was just the first of 3 we have built for other fellow shooters.....Who also are quite impressed with what can be put together, WITHOUT having to buy a "Custom Rifle" from one of the "Big Names".

As far as I am concerned, a lower, is pretty much a lower...as long as it is a "Mil-spec" lower, they are basically all the same, as far as functionality goes.
The uppers can vary I suppose, but I have found that most of the "Major" suppliers (as found in Shotgun news ads) can supply you with whatever your heart desires.
