What is the cheapest way to get into an AR non plum crazy? Complete uppers from Midway for $350? Build the lower myself or just order from the Chimney Sweep?

Stone is the way to go, I have one local guy who will answer all your questions. Plus he stands behind his builds... great guy to buy from... just my 2cents

i understand the personal prefrence thing. I tell folks this usually when i hear that... Glock has been making polymer framed pistols for YEARS, and are know as one of if not the, most dependable pistols going, and the slide doesnt wear out the frame. Nothing but the internals (self lubricating polymer) on the plum crazy's has any contact with moving parts. also.. bushmaster has been making polymer ar's for a long time.

couple mag dumps at the end....

The gun in the video has over 8k rds through it with no issues and no signs of wear on the lower. We routinely do consecutive 30rd magazine dumps, and even 100rd Beta C mag dumps and nothing has melted yet.
Way more than the average shooter will go through.

Never asked you to justify it either. In fact, nothing I said was directed toward you. All I did was say I like mine. When glocks came out nobody thought a polymer pistol was worth a @#$% either.

Palmetto State Armory. There isn't a better deal out there right now. I just put together an M16A4 clone using their parts, and I'd say it's equal to my Bravo Company rifle for a fraction the price.
I've read they've had some issues due to the massive growth in customer base, but I am guessing they are very few and far between.

I'm planning on building a light weight AR with a plum crazy lower too, for a while there I was in the screw some polymer lower that can't be worth a crap, but I figure as cheap as they are why not, plus its something light and easy for my wife to shoot, and maybe me to carry around when I don't feel like lugging my heavier guns around.
