Yes this is a personal rifle, thats what makes it so hard to decide on. Im used to buildin rifles for customers and they are pretty straight foward. And hopefully I can use this gun to expand my bussness and let customers have somethin to try before they buy.
What is everyones opinion on a remington lower? Ive always ben a huge fan but this is a whole new ballgame.
Im from the school of thought that says, if your weapon does its job every time, its a sexy son-of-a-bitch! There are 2 reasons to own a "fighting" weapon; one is to punch paper and make friends at the range, the second is to use said weapon to defend the lives of those you love. Thats the only 2 reasons. Looks are objective, and an afterthought.
As far as the remington lower is concerned, a lower is a lower is a lower, if they are of quality fit and finish. I use Spikes a lot, cause they make good lowers, but I also use BCM and Colt, which are considered the pinnacle of AR "goodness". I reccomend you go with a know company, that has deep "roots" in the AR business. Try Colt, BCM, LMT, Spikes, DD, Mega, Noveske, etc...... All of these WILL be in spec, and WILL work on your chosen upper.
Your in a good spot that most of us dont find ourselves in often. You have the means to start from scratch. A lot of us have parts lying around, and decide to build off of them. If I was in your shoes, I would build slowly, as money builds up, and assemble the rifle that I wanted. Dont settle, do it right the first time.
Take my advice any way you want, but be sure to remember that if you buy quality parts, you just buy once.
