Lower to go with new upper?

So I caved and ordered this today on impulse thanks to mcordell posting the link showing the sale.

Anyone have any suggestions on what lower to mate it with? Was thinking of going with the LMT SOPMOD w/ 2-stage trigger.

Are you wanting a complete or stripped lower (to build your own)?

 

I have an Anderson lower and a New Frontier Armory lower, both stripped. The New Frontier Armory is much better quality. I've been looking at TN Armory lowers lately, as I've been rethinking one of my builds: http://www.tnarmsco.com/receivers/

 

If you look into tn arms lowers, just keep in mind for the "ghost" lower: "This receiver is only intended as a teaching tool and for product showcase. If regular hard use is intended please purchase one of our Fiber-Reinforced Nylon models."

I've really been looking at complete lowers. Had a couple of factory AR's, but never built one before. Think I'm a little hesitant.

Building (assembling) a lower is really easy. I have done a few and if I can do it anyone can. Lots of good videos on YouTube with step by step instructions.

Building is super easy. I used a YouTube video and it took me 45 minutes my first try. That was taking it slow and cleaning grease off the parts as I went. There are a few tools involved you may or may not have. You'll need a decent set if punches($71-$12 @harbor freight), a lower receiver block was handy, but I think you cold do it without it($12-$20 amazon), decently long screwdriver/allen wrench for the grip, and an ar armorers wrench. A box cutter blade, some decently durable tape, and a large ziplock bag all proved immensely helpful.

I'd call D&T arms first thing. I'd be willing to bet if they have any lowers in at all they will make them worth your drive.
