    By buying the upper and lower seperately, you avoid FET (FYI).

    +1 to that

    only problem is completing your lower with a quality LPK (unless you've got those back in stock Grant.

    Fora complete rifle the DD XV and you'd have to buy it from Grant. PM him for M4C member pricing....I was really surprised.

    I think that Grant still has them, but only if you also buy a lower.

    I am pretty confident that BCM would only use the best in their complete lowers.

    You are wrong! BCMs are garbage and no one in their right mind should buy one! Stay away!

    I just picked up my BCM lower earlier today and it looks great. I always trust BCM to put out quality products.

    Why get second tier when you can get a Daniel Defense XV for $1099-$1149 right now. I've got a local dealer who is selling me one for $1099 + 8.25% tax next week. GT Distributors in Austin,Tx has them on order for $1149.99...

    I look at "value" in the AR world to imply that I will not have to do anything to the gun to make it satisfactory, at an acceptable price. In my limited experience, the BCM is just about right for a GP gun, especially if you go with a package deal and get all the crap you want already stuck to it.

    Daniel Defense, S&W MP series, Charles Daly(LE /Mil versions) and Colt (6920 and 6940) are great values and now I'm starting to see more on dealers shelves and online. Companies may be catching up with the crushing post election demand for ARs. Pistols are still tough to get. Ammo though is bad, price wise and availiability. I fear the days of inexpensive surplus 5.56, 7.62 x39, and 7.62x51 are gone or will be shortly.

    1. Name the dealer. Is this their 'standard' everybody price or a 'special' price for you.
    2. I could order one from Grant (web site price listed as $1139) and with s/h (assume $15) and transfer fee (my ffl charges $20), add another pmag and still have change for a coke. And without checking with G&R, I'll guess the member price is a bit better than web-listed. Plus you'd be supporting a forum sponsor.

    You would be correct.
