in the process of building my first AR and was wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction as far as a good quality lower parts kit....and is there a big difference between a chrome BCG and a standard one...is it worth the extra $$$ to run a chrome BCG

LPK's from any major company are GTG...Fulton Armory,RRA,DPMS,Bravo Company, Rainier,etc.As far as chrome BCG save your money not needed, but looks pretty when the range lizards see it.

Stag seems to be the best bang for the buck LPK these days. As for the BCG, just get one from Bravo and quit thinking about it.

It can be all be a lot to soak in when sifting through the mountain of options. The above recommendations for LPKs and BCGs are good. I just bought a Spikes BCG and couldn't be happier. When looking at BCGs chrome isn't needed but be sure what you do buy is chrome lined and the key is properly staked.

If you plan on getting another trigger anyway I recommend you pick up a LPK without FCG so you're not paying for a trigger you won't use. JP, Fulton and Wilson Combat have LPKs available without FCG. I ran the JP kit through Rainier Arms on my build. You can also get all the parts separately through Midway.

Re: building my first AR and had ?
I've had great luck with the BCG's that Surplus Ammo & Arms puts out, I believe theyre produced by Aero Precision. Chrome isnt 'needed' but gives some people added peace of mind
For LPK's, Palmetto State Armory has the lowest prices I've seen for a quality set (<span style="font-style: italic">around or under $50 IIRC</span>), it also gives you the chance of swapping out the stock A2 grip for MOE, at almost no added cost
+1 in my book
