The flared magwell lowers are a nice touch. Kudos on the design for that. But to claim that somehow there is something inherently higher quality about one aluminum forging that meets design specs vs. another aluminum forging that meets design specs is laughable.

Higher quality? I didn't go there, but more desirable? Sure, to many at least. I wish all my lowers had flared wells and built in trigger guards and fit tight with my uppers. |

Noveske forgot who their customer is.
You can't charge a 250% premium and send out a mediocre product. That's not how the free market works. The people who are willing to pay that kind of markup expect perfection. They are a small, but vocal minority. They might be pretentious and annoying, but you better make them happy if your business model depends on their good will. Sheri needs to learn about business, or quit and get a job with the Government. |

Couple of thoughts while trying not to take a side here:
1. God bless you picky mofo's for creating the whole blem/chainsaw grade of parts. You've saved me a ton of money. 2. This thread title is overly dramatic and attention grabbing. They aren't even making these lowers anymore. 3. The guys saying this is what you should expect when charging these prices for lowers/guns have a point. 4. As much as I hate to admit it, AR-15 customers have changed a bit over the years, and some guys have been quicker to figure that out or at least cater to this growing segment of fit & finish buyers. Spike's, Mega, LaRue and others have been cranking out parts and guns with great aesthetics for a while without any issues. 5. Hope this is just a blip for Noveske and they get this kind of stuff squared away soon. |

Looking at the pics and the comments in that thread make me shake my head. I've put worse damage on a lower taking it out of the safe. I never knew lowers could be "graded." 
I hope you've never owned or have a desire to own a Colt. Hold on there skippy, let's keep Colt out of this Noveske discussion shall we? 
I've got two 6940's and one 6920 that are absolutely beautiful rifles. Fit, finish, function and accuracy is excellent with all of them. |

My condolences to those who get a truly unusable out of spec receiver. That is a problem, and must be addressed by Noveske.
It seems as if Noveske may have over-represented the condition of some of those receivers. Were I them, I'd be offering full refunds for returns, or perhaps $100 credits and you keep the receiver as the price difference between chainsaw and non-chainsaw lowers since they're not producing them anymore. Shouldn't be too hard to do. This reminds me of threads long ago on ARFCOM where people were disconcerted about the condition of thier lowers. Seems we've come full circle.

Purple finish would be a deal beaker for me. I know it's a tool but a purple tool? I got issued an Mk12 Mod 1 and the upper and lower color didn't quite match. I told them to take it back because there was no telling what else was wrong with it. |

Any plain jane, PSA or Anderson lower, I wouldn't even bat an eye at those marks. Paid a premium for a Noveske? Yeah, I'd be a bit upset. There's nothing wrong with plain jane lower. I have one and it's never failed me.
pics of stripped lower ? (please dont kill me)

My condolences to those who get a truly unusable out of spec receiver. That is a problem, and must be addressed by Noveske. It seems as if Noveske may have over-represented the condition of some of those receivers. Were I them, I'd be offering full refunds for returns, or perhaps $100 credits and you keep the receiver as the price difference between chainsaw and non-chainsaw lowers since they're not producing them anymore. Shouldn't be too hard to do. This reminds me of threads long ago on ARFCOM where people were disconcerted about the condition of thier lowers. Seems we've come full circle. http://the-nashes.net/images/CAR-15/Bushmaster2.jpg Purple finish would be a deal beaker for me. I know it's a tool but a purple tool? You wife liked my purple tool.
