Check out AR15.com. There is more info there than on G&G regarding the questions you are asking.

It will take a few hours of reading, but it will be well worth it to you.

The first one for your upper and the second one for your lower.

ok lets take this to a different turn. i have a new idea buds gun shop will let me pay for a year with no interest. anyone ever done this before? and what would you go for accuracy? i want something with a ok trigger pull has to have fixed stock 18-20" barrel and i would like black with stainless barrel but camo with stainless is ok to

here are some im looking at the cheaper the better but i dont want to spend 800$ when i could spend 1100 and get a tack driver

this one with a 18 or 20 inch looks to be the best

Check out complete and partial lowers at AIM Receivers Receivers (ok, usually they have some built, but not today) and although the wait is currently 20 weeks, Model 1 Sales kits are excellent stuff.. I have built 2 kits and both are tack drivers that cost around $600 for the kit. Assembly is simple, and options are many..

One thing I don't like about the complete lower I bought was the trigger. It was a DPMS, with collapsible stock. I got two stripped lowers, and installed an RRA LPK, which has a decent trigger, and a DPMS LPK, and swapped out the crappy FCG for a Timney trigger group. Much better. I think even though you may pay about the same, I'd go with a stripped lower and build it with an RRA National Match LPK so you have a great trigger without spending a ton of money. And no, it's not that hard to build. If you've ever built a model plane or worked with Legos, you can do this.
