I recently posted a build or buy topic. I have decided to build my .308 AR.

I am now looking at receivers. Any advice? I would like something with a forward assist (I know this is probably pointless. Please spare me the lecture.). Haha!

I have being eyeing the JDM matched receivers. Also looked into SI Defense. I am not a fan of the DPMS.

Any advice? Looking at Mega as well but it has no forward assist.
 
Seekins and Mega would be two of my top picks if you're in a hurry to build and not worried too much about price.

CMMG and DPMS are your more lower priced options. But if you can wait for a little bit the DPMS Gen II Receivers are suppose to be ground breaking being Lighter and User Friendly and able to accept Regular AR15 Accessories and Rails. It'll be a choice for the latest market trend.

Good Luck.
