Midway is running these kits on sale. Thinking about ordering one for a build on the bare lower receiver sitting in the safe. Anyone have any experience with it?

Yeah, my buddy built one on a PSA lower. Came out pretty nice, no function issues, even with steel ammo et cetera. If you want a cheap plinking AR, it should be good. Action wasn't as smooth as my Colt.

Delton is usually good to go. Just check all of the parts for fit before final torque down.

I ordered one right at the very beginning of the 'great panic'...it showed up about 6 months later.
I ended up selling mine for a slight profit, but I was pleased with it and would definitely buy one again...only thing is PSA provides similar value, IF you can handle the lead time to shipping.

I bought one about 4 years ago. I built it on a Spikes lower and dropped in a Geissele trigger.
I have around 2000 rounds through it and I have never had any issues with it. I have not run any steel ammo through it so I cannot comment on that.
I would not hesitate to recommend one to you or anybody else for that matter. I would buy one again.

I have a complete 20" del ton heavy bbl AR. I had read some reviews stating del ton's are cheap AR's, etc...I have never had a single issue with mine and can say that for the price I paid, I couldn't be happier with the rifle.
I think some of these "reviews" come from people who have the, "if it ain't Colt, it ain't shit" mentality. Chances are, you will pay a nice low price for the rifle you're looking at. If that's the case, do it and don't look back. Do your own review, I bet you'll love that rifle.
And yes, I do own a JP LRP 07, so I have the ability to recognize quality too

I bought the 18" middy 1:7 chrome lined Delton kits a while back. It is currently matched up with a Stag lower and wears an MOE hand guard. I was a little put off by the low price, but it has proven to be a nice shooter. The trigger group sent with the rifle yielded a 9.5# pull, so that got swapped out after the first range trip. I probably have close to 2,500 rounds through this tube, and its a legitimate 1.5MOA rifle with handloads.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy the kit again if I was looking for an inexpensive carbine to put together.
