I bought 5 Double Star lowers about 3 years ago. I built all of them and kept two and sold the other to my friends. Everyone one of them was GTG.

I have no complaints about my doublestar. Had it since 2007

EA

I've built a lot of rifles on EA lowers (company I used to work for used them exclusively). And I like them. Nice fit and finish. All the Double star lowers I've owned have had the finish flake off after a little use. So I won't buy them anymore.

I got two Double Star lowers once that you could barely fit a mag in the magwell.

With budget lowers, whatever one is in stock and cheaper. After that it is whatever roll mark you want.

I have assembled 5 DoubleStar lowers in the past 2 years. I have not had an issue with any of them.

I might end up with this one on looks alone
