If .223 is your choice:
Be sure to get one chrome-lined and chambered 5.56 Nato.
Chrome lined barrels IIRC have a longer life-span vs non-chrome lined.
In other words, you can shoot more rounds before they wear out.
Chrome-lined chambers reduce the possibility of stuck cases from
scratches and/or corrosion.
It's simple to assemble a lower.
Complete uppers are head-spaced and ready to pin to your assembled lower.
The nice part about assembling one is the fact that you can
spread the purchase out over time.
If you decide that ar is the way you want to go...
it would be prudent to purchase a lower ASAP (around $100)
