They get a lot of hate around here for business practices in the past. If you get past that, their lowers are quite nice. I've built five guns using them so far.

Yep, dropped a PSA LPK in mine and was GTG.

The only lower I could find back in December was a Anderson lower. I had no problems with it and kind of like their roll mark. If price is right and you don't need safe/fire markings on both sides of receiver I would say go for it.

Mine has worked fine with a PSA lpk and BCM upper. No complaints about fit or finish. Was the only lower I could find locally. Price was not too bad either.

Got an upper/lower set with J&T and PSA guts. Everything fit together perfectly.
They really stepped on their dinkie a while back promoting themselves by pretending to be 'normal' people.
They got called out pretty quickly. If they were smart they would have owned up and joined up.

Well, I hope all is well with their product, I picked one up over the weekend from a Local Shop that had them 2 for $150.

So, were they doing the "show up with one post and sing the praises of the lower/shipping/company" thing?

I can't hate on that kind of thing too much. The general gun community seems older and not too tech savvy (I can only think of one LGS that actually has a good website with inventory), so I can see them making that kind of mistake. Their lowers are going for like 65 bucks from some places, so they're in the current running for my plan to pick up half a dozen or so and just keep them as spares in the event another AWB passes.

Working with one right now. Anderson Manufacturing Lower is Good to go. CMMG Parts kit pins can be a little tight, but it wasn't something a little lube wouldn't fix

I picked one up for 99 bux used PSA lower kit with Wilson Combat trigger, Phase 5 upper fit perfect. Blew threw a 30 rounder like a bullet hose!

My Anderson Lower bought during the Panic is doing just fine no out of spec issues, all my Pmags drop free, Fit my PSA 20" upper with no issues and very little slop. I would buy another in a heartbeat!

I just put a CMMG parts kit in an Anderson lower last week. Parts fit wasn't any more snug than any other build. I used Slip 2000 on the roll pins and other parts, though. Upper was a Del-Ton and there was no slop between them.
