AR-15 lower build

Cool stuff! Yes, I do have enough important stuff to do but, I've started to become fascinated with the "Black Rifle" build. Just another bottomless pit potential? Another hobby run amok? I STILL want one! I have absolutely no need for one but that never stopped me before. I'll bet there is a wealth of imperial knowledge here in addition to the vast info on the web. I have a couple of Ruger 5.56s so I'm familiar with the loads, have the dies and such and it's cheap to feed and ranges are more accessible than higher power rounds. Buying a finished rifle doesn't interest me unless it was almost a gift. I want to make chips...but not too many.There are billions of variables ranging from plinkers to match. I'm leaning to the plinker knowing it will be more accurate than I am. Lowers are available in every form from raw forgings or billets to 80% to finished. The rest is bolt on fluff. (for now) Anybody have a box-o-parts or abandoned projects? I'll keep reading but there is almost "too much" and those people are fanatics, it's hard to filter.

The only warning shots that should be fired,. are to be aimed 3" above the belt buckle.
