stag upper if you want a lefty
double star is the cheapest
its easy to assemble a lower from parts
i have a dpms lower on a rock river upper
i wouldnt build an upper unless you have tools to headspace the chamber

I'm not an expert, but I have been researching building my own AR extensively and hope to get started next month. It's my understanding the headspacing is pretty much pre-done in the barrel extension of the barrel, so having a new, decent to high quality bolt and a new decent to high quality barrel shouldn't require any headspacing on the part of the builder (except perhaps in use of super duper match barrels).
Someone with a little more experience wanna ring in on this?

Inexpensive Lowers
Hey all,
I seem to recall Cavalry Arms lowers are inexpensive, as well as lighter than other lowers. Plus, they are available in a wide array of colors. As an added bonus, you'll be helping out a company which has weathered the unjust tyranny of the ATF.
Then you just pick up an upper with a carbine-length gas system, pop the two together, and you're good to go.
