what is the difference between and upper and lower receiver?

I kno I could probably google it, but I figured people here would have a lot of knowledge on the subject.

Id like to get into an AR eventually.

thanks in advance

So you want to buy an AR-15, huh? - Police Forums & Law Enforcement Forums @ Officer.com

i buy Cproduct mags they are cheap and work fine i have about 20 30 round mags and about 10 20 round mags and have not had any problems out of any of them.

if one gets bent up then they are only like $10 and are considered to be USGI

the upper receiver while depicted in the picture above is actually a complete upper the upper receiver is the portion of the upper that mates to the lower and all the other parts are attached to it.

just the same a lower receiver is the bottom portion and it house the LPK (lower parts Kit) and the stock this is actually the only part of the rifle that is considered to be a gun and is required to be transfered Via a FFL all other parts can be shipped directly to your front door.

being as your both new to ARs be sure to know what makes one legal and illegal both by BATFE and state laws each state may have different laws regarding AWS

I would recommend getting a completed upper, because if you build an upper you have to do headspacing and other things. Finishing a lower is actually quite easy. There is a video here:

For when the Zombies attack. Not if, but when.

metal ones can dented and the feeding can get affected depending how bad the dent is. Magpul polymers are $15 from some sites so theres not a whole lot of difference in price. Plus if an assaults weapon ban comes youll have a load of high capacity mags to feel good about

Roger that, to quote a picture in the funny picture thread:

"Because those goddamned zombies aren't going to kill themselves"

I love that...:lol:

Troy's Mag FAQ this will tell you what brands to buy and what to watch out for when buying older mags at a show.

For the price and quality of the MagPul PMag, it is all I'm buying now. I also have around 60 or so aluminum USGI mags of various makes.

The 10 mags I have, and any future mag purchases, will be in anticipation of any possible high cap mag ban.

I sold all of my USGI style magazines and bought all new Magpul PMags. Polymer doesn't bend, the followers cannot flip twist or pivot in any direction, and they are hands down the toughest magazine available for an AR. Granted i'm just an enthusiast, and as such I have never had a single issue with USGI mags, I just got a wild hair up my rear and sprung for the best products on teh market. Working for a dealer always helps too. lol. PMags wholesale are not but a couple dollars more expensive than the cheapest USGI mags.

mostly in case their is another Ban that limits our ability to purchase mags that hold more than 10 rounds. if they do those of us that have a stock pile will be sitting on a Gold Mine during the last ban Glock standard capacity mags that were like $12 increased to over $100 same with preban AR mags
