Best lower
3/5/2012 9:40:04 PM
Looking to get a lower to sbr, suggestions? I like rra, but what's the difference if they are all mil spec? Some of these go up to $750 what are the differences? Thank you for any help

For the most part, a lower is a lower. But you're going to be stuck with this guy for a long time, so if you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly. Go get something nice like a KAC or maybe the new noveske FFL.

Unless you need ambi-controls or anything funky, then a mil-spec lower is going to do the same thing. It's an aluminum frame that holds springs and detents together.
With that said, you are going to be stuck with this lower. I bought a C3 Defense (local to me) lower with an integrated trigger guard. They were selling lowers for $80 FTF and the "enhanced" lowers with the trigger guards for $225. I should have just bought the cheaper lower, but I buy my rifles one piece at a time. I figure I might as well get what I want.

I have SBR stamps pending on both a Noveske Gen II and an AR15 billet lower. Both are good, I was also looking for the best lowers and that's what I ended up with.

As long as the lowers you are comparing are alike..then the differance comes down to rollmarks. If you are comparing ambi controls or billett against a $49 PSA then yes, there is some differances. But mainly it all comes down to the little engraving on the side.

I;m very jealous. My buddy actually is looking to SBR a Noveske Gen 2 lower here soon

IMO...a lower is a lower (as long as it's in spec). I have no regrets SBR'ing a PSA lower. Built it as a pistol first and made sure it worked and then sent in my F1. Unless you like the look of a specific lower (billet) or want an ambi lower like KAC or the Mega, buy what's cheap.

I am doing one on a Form 2. I believe that lower in full auto with a suppressed 8" 300BLK upper should make me smile pretty good, don't you think

Seekins Billet Lower is what I'm using for my build.
It looks like top shelf quality.

Yeah so did mine. Kinda aggrivated me but I got mine engraved on the underside of the trigger loop so I'm over it. A little Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black did the ttrick
To the OP, you won't go with any quality piece... RRA, S&W, Noveske, KAC... etc I am of course partial to S&W and Noveske!

I had a local guy do mine. It came out somewhat okay... Not really to my standard, but its in the trigger guard do who really cares. Next lower will just to ident or the other one that does them all. I wanted to support a local business butt they're just not equipped like ident. They do nice engraving and the nicely blacken everything.

I did my F1 on an Arfcom BFL marked lower. I'm hoping to have my stamp back sometime next month.
