Would it be better to buy separate uppers and lowers or is there one that's a decent pre-built one already?
There are so many different AR's on the market that range from ~$700 for an S&W M&P 15 sporter to about $3k for an HK MR556. Although the S&W's are cheap $, I believe they come with a lifetime warranty. My personal favorite is LWRC for many reasons, but you would be looking at around $2200. Since you are in CA my advice to you would be to join Calguns and read a lot since there are some very CA specific things that you have to watch out for. You can also assemble your own for relatively cheap and learn the ins and outs of the AR platform, which many people would recommend. I usually go with JD Machines stripped uppers and lowers and assemble off of that if I'm going the DIY route.
