It's something of a mess.
I'm very inconsistent about where I buy parts.
Del-Ton supplied a bunch of kits early on.
The defunct Anvil Arms is the source of several lower parts kits. That doesn't help anyone following me up...
Were I to start a build today I'd likely be back at Del-Ton and ordering a kit. They irritate me with their "screw you builders, we're a (toss head) rifle company!" attitude when a rush starts and they stop selling parts, but they do seem to
Lowers are virtually a commodity item as the crappy makers have been culled brutally during the aforementioned panics. Aero-Precision has a sense of humor and their limited run lowers are fun, so I'd go there first.
CMMG has been the maker of the past couple lower parts kits. I like their trigger, but toss the 5/6 scale pistol grip and I prefer a properly sized flat-head screw to their socket head.
Stag is who made the 6.8 bolt carrier groups. The retro guns are running vintage Colt bolt carriers.
I hope that helps the new builder.
Bravo Company and Spikes are other companies I trust for their parts. Bravo is a bit more expensive on some items though.
