    I built my at with pieces I wanted from different manufactures. Palmetto state is who I got upper and bcg from. Went with a FA plug cause I've never used it. Lower was a spikes. Trigger was alg. Barrel was from jse surplus. Magpul buis. Yhm gas block. Hogue Fore grip. Magpul miad grip.
    Built it with what I wanted. Turned out perfect for me.

    I bought a Deltron lower at a gun show several months before I put it together. The trigger needed to be put in before the safety but other than that 9 no problems. Reasonably good fit to the DPMS upper I wanted to mate it to. I bought a 300 Blackout upper from DSA and had the 223 top half sitting around looking at me and it wasn't tall enough to stand upright in a rack so I said what the heck and bought the new lower. Still have to switch the bolt carrier and T handle. From reading Patrick Sweeney the trigger before the safety isn't that unusual. I had an ejector spring left over from the build!!! No complaints.

    I bought my first AR kit from them as well as several parts since then and ouside of being a little slow shipping at times everything is ok. Delton, Bravo Company and Spikes are my three main suppliers for AR parts.

    2008 I got their 16" mid-length kit. Built it on a LAR lower. It went together in about 45min.
    I've never had an issue with it. I'd deal with them any time...

    I've built a couple, and have had no problems with fit or finish, and find them to run just fine when completed.

    used several Delton bbls and uppers and other parts. Never anything but good stuff,
    barrels are accurate, no problems. Good company, in my experience.

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    My wife supprised me with a Delton stripped lower for Christmas a couple years ago. It sat in the safe for about a year before I finished it up with a complete rifle kit from Blackthorne Products. The parts kit went in like a charm with no problem.
