POF P415 Gen III. The ambi bolt release is a nice touch. I also put a Norgon AmbiCatch on mine for my left haded friends.

The company that makes the billet lowers for Larue had to change their trigger guard design because it too closely resembled the profile of Magpul's Enhanced Trigger Guard. If you purchase a Larue Stealth upper, they you will be permitted to purchase a matching Stealth lower, which is the best looking one on the market, IMHO.

To go the other way from all the expensive ones here, Centerfire Systems is advertising Billet lowers for 89.99, I just had my FFL order two and am waiting for them to come in to report on the workmanship and quality.
