Hey guys,
Think about maybe investing $ towards a 5.56mm SPR in the near future. The upper is already cut and dry. The lower is a totally other story. I basically have two options.
1) Keep my existing LWRC lower, install a 2 stage trigger, and get a VLTOR EMOD stock and just swap things out. But it will be a collapsable stock, but the VLTOR EMOD is more flexible and offers a much better cheekweld. And while swapping lowers and stock is simple, it could get old for a while. But this option focuses on modular flexibility of having just one lower.
Money factors: Geisselle SSA trigger ($170), VLTOR EMOD stock ($95 used from Northwest Tactical)
2) Get a totally new lower, either one with or install a 2 stage trigger, and this one with a fixed stock to make it "old school". It will be more money, but not only will there be no hassle, the long gun will make a nice contrast to the short gun. No need to swap out uppers/stocks.
Money factors: Geisselle SSA trigger ($170 or double if I give into the temptation to get one for each lower), LMT lower with fixed A2 stock ($315)
Other factors to consider: the cost of the upper, the bipod, the scope, and of course finding 5.56mm 77gr match ammo.
caveats: I'm interested in getting a new car once I get winged (around August) and head to the RAG. So money will be an issue.
Pros/Cons of each one? And thanks for your assistance.
