Well, with all of the 'Black Friday' sales going on have you started the build shopping process yet?

Not yet. Still cleaning up some of the "financial" issues. But I should be ready to start buying parts by the beginning of the new year. Until then, I'll be studying YT videos and your comments. I should have my picks for a lower shortly for y'all's review. Do you favor "matched" upper/lowers (i.e. that can "swivel open" or does it matter?

It really doesn’t unless you are build a precision target gun. Then the tighter tolerances of a matched upper/lower will have some benefits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update:
All - So sorry it has taken so long for me to get the ball rolling on this, but I am pleased to say that both my financial issues and Covid-19 are well behind me, and I am ready now to move forward (Covid-19 wasn't really an issue, but...). Well, maybe Covid-19 is having a little impact in re: the shortages of supplies and gear. Certainly in re: manufactured inventory (everyone seems to be "out of stock" due to the demands). I'm not sure, frankly, if I should now wait until after the elections to do my shopping. If Pres. Trump wins, I'm sure the prices will probably go down.... If Biden wins, I don't even want to think about it.... Thus, I think I will go ahead and, at least, get a couple of lowers to work on. Thankfully, you gave me the link to "PrimaryArms" above because that's one of the few places I've actually found product "in stock." I see an Aero Precision ME41 lower for $89.24. I may get two of them for that price. I also see a deal on the site for discounted Geissele trigger groups: 1) Geissele Automatics G2S Two Stage AR-15 Trigger .154" $129.99 2) Geissele Automatics Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced SSA-E Two Stage AR-15 Trigger .154" $199.99 I was always leaning toward Geissele triggers. Now comes the upper and the BCGs. Not sure which of those yet but the first priority is securing the lowers and before the election.. After that, I'll look at some other things (maybe a Rock Island Armory 1911 .45acp and I'll get the extra grips. Then get another Mossberg 930 JM Pro. But we'll see. But first things first.... those lowers....  , I'll be looking to your for help in building the list of all the parts I need. I'll get back to you shortly with what I see as that list. Thanks all. Look forward to getting this thing going!

Update. I'm doing quite a bit of research on different brands of parts, based on some of the adivice I'm getting here, as well as some Youtube videos. I know... I should treat those with a grain of salt, but some are pretty good.

I agree. And I'm focused on Geissele for the trigger group as well, per AFJuvat. What are y'alls thoughts on "Sharps Rifle Co." for BCGs? I'm seeing a lot of good videos on their BCGs (eg XPB series, or the "Extreme BCG). Here are a couple of videos I've seen... Now, a question or two. I'm seeing a lot of videos on "Buffers" and "Buffer weights..." For example: and I gather that they help balance against the gas system pressure for the right extraction'/ejection force, but I'm not sure how it works. Do they work with the BCG, or with the gas system in the upper? Or something else? Question 2: Headspace.... How important is to get headspace right? I gather pretty important in avoiding a catastrophic failure... Anyway, I should be ready to start buying parts (at least the upper/lowers) by mid January.We'll work on barrels and gas systems, next. Thanks all! Last edited by FfNJGTFO; 12-10-2019 at 03:58 AM.

Late to the party. i dont remember reading the gas tube length or might have missed it.....Mid length gas systems have been recommended for some time to lessen recoil and wear on the BCG. Check the Geissele wound recoil spring as this also reduces recoil and take that annoying “ping” sound out of the butt stock....light weight ? Gunners profile barrels by Faxon and Bravo company offers shooter an overall lighter weight rifle with excellent accuracy for build. I went a bit further and got a pencil barrel which has worked well
