AR assembly

Dumb question, but always good to learn.

I just bought a complete RRA lower with Magpul and 2-stage trigger, and now found a great deal on a RRA chrome moly upper.

I was wondering if either the complete lower or complete upper came with the pins to attach the two? This is my first AR, and I am not sure if "complete" means "complete" or if there were additional parts I need?

Sometimes I see with complete lower descriptions something along the line of "buffer spring included" but that just is for those that don't come with stocks, right?

Basically, what else am I going to need to get a complete upper and complete lower together and ready to take to the range?

Thanks!

bullets and ear/eye protection and you should be good to go.

Slap the halves together and have fun. Complete is complete in my eyes, the rest are "extras"

The lower kit should have the take down pins included in it. I would be very surprised if it didn't have those in there...

Like Moose said, a complete lower will come with the pins. Not should, but damn well better!

Alrighty...we'll see on Friday!

I just ask because the websites never show the pins, just the lowers or uppers. I bought the lower new, so I should be good to go. The upper I bought from someone who got it but never fired it.

Thanks guys!

While you may consider magazines to be extras I personally consider them to be essential.
