I can either get a BCM lower which I'm sure will fit the DD Middy upper fine, or I can try and find a stripped DD lower. However, after I find a stripped DD lower, I'd still have to get a DD LPK (not that hard) and a mil-spec stock kit. I can probably get all those parts. Then I'd have to find a reputable gunsmith to assemble the lower. I'd have to find one that will properly stake the castlenut on the receiver extension etc etc.
Thus, I am definitely leaning towards just getting a BCM complete lower and saving myself all that hassle.....then again, the gun won't match. I don't know if I care that much though...it's like getting a blemished lower. It's not really that much more to get the non-blemished one (71 bucks more). However, the non-blemished one is going to get blemished after a trips to the range or just one class anyway. Decisions decisions.....
