There are a bunch of parts dealers at the gun show... you will need a number of items to complete the lower:

LPK (About $60)
Buffer Tube, Spring, Castle Nut, Buffer ($60 - $100 depending on brand and configurations)
Stock ($60-$300 depending on brand and type)


Then you will have to find and upper ($300-$1500 depending on brand, type, caliber, features, etc)
Thanks for the Guidance! I've been looking at the Del-Ton Assembled Upper Kits, any thought with those? Where else can I get a slap-in kit for a reasonable price?
