Wait till you get addicted and buy 80% lower and start milling them out yourself.

LOL an Anderson? They're made by the same outfit that does Spikes, Ruger, Aero and a few others. Trust me, the "poverty pony" lowers do the job just fine!
andersons work great. the forgings are the same look for the mark
I like it... so I used these guys for cerakoted ar parts...I started my first lower build. What do you thing about the color? Black and FDE:

I will suggest that you get a Daniel defense pistol grip.
So, I did everything to it from new trigger, aftermarket drop in trigger, disassembled and reassembled, blah blah and blah.
Know what the problem was?
Installing the pesky hammer and trigger pins can be tricky. Another pesky pin to install is the bolt stop assembly roll pin. Both take some fiddling to do. It takes practice and experience to line up all the parts using your fingers, then tapping in the roll pin or the hammer and trigger pins. If everything is aligned properly the pins go in easily.
As far as the buffer stop assembly, along with the take down detents, consider a thin reusable dry cleaning sack as an overall containing bag. Amazing hang times with the many small dinky pesky detents, springs and small parts. Lost in the shag carpet forever. Even the cat can't find them. Even I kept many spares. I needed them. Yikes!
hundreds of AR15 builds.
Lol... the gas block was not lined up... fixed that and it runs great!
When I have problems like this I always check the gas block first.It's best to scribe a line from the gas port out beyond the gas block so you can verify before drilling and pinning etc. It's simple security. Oh yeah, glad you figured it out. The gas port issue is one of the first on a long list to diagnose short stroking. The first thing I do is check for ejection after a build to test my buffer and spring combo, I also measure gas port before I install barrels, and scribe a line from the gas port or something similar. I'm still testing my new build. I ended up using a heavy buffer because it was forward ejecting three out of 20 cartridges.

Then change to a heavy buffer spring .
Then go to heavy buffer .
Start small .
It's cheaper for a heavy buffer spring than a heavy buffer.
Then if you still have problems.
You have to start looking at the bolt carrier .
Gas rings and stuff like that.
