    O.k. my brother just sold me a brand new DPMS 16" .7.62x51 A4 barrel that he got on auction for $50, so I guess I'm building another .308 upper, if not the entire rifle.

    For now I have the DPMS barrel and a DPMS stripped upper receiver.
    So, where can I find the best deal on a bolt carrier group?

    Looks like this will be a true budget build.
    First my brother found the barrel for $50.
    Bolt carrier group found for $169 + shipping.
    I found a decent price on a stripped upper ($154) and I just found a stripped .308 lower for $76 and change shipped!

    I'l compile the rest of the parts as I find them on sale.

    From my experience. You will be satisfied and trouble free if you get all your parts direct from DPMS or through Brownells. You either spend the money now or spend the money later trying to get it to work. Good luck whatever you decide.
