aluminum over poly always..... I like the Andersons when they do their 29.99 sale.... tough to beat. Aero is a great receiver if you don't mind paying a bit more..... the added value is there.

Anderson is junk Calling something junk with no explanation is basically a moot statement. OP, with the price of aluminum now a days, there is no reason to use poly lowers. |

Fuck polymer lowers. At the price you can buy forged aluminum lowers like Anderson, there's no sane reason buy polymer.
OP, check out Palmetto State Armory - $49.99 http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar-15-lower-safe-fire-1728.html I have several of these and have never had an issue. For a nicer quality lower with some added features like a tapped rear detent and tension adjustment, take a look at Aero Precision. Shop around for sales and they can be had for under $80. |

The stuff I have ordered from PSA the last few months have got to me in a reasonable amount of time, unless during the holidays they are normally pretty good for me.

Anderson's are fine. You can get them $40 each at AIM surplus. Buy a dozen and save them for a rainy day

With the current firearms debate, affordable lowers are getting harder to find. I just ordered 3 from Primary Arms for $39.99 ea.

OP, as stated, I would avoid anything that is plastic, other than possibly the CAV Arms unit. I would still pick a good forged lower over even that. |

With the current gun debate going on, I buy every Spikes lower i come across at gun shows/LGS in the $90-95/each range regardless of the stamp mark. It's worth it to me to buy mid range lowers by a respectable company when I am thinking not only about my kids, but my kids's kids. A good quality lower should last many generations.

I run mostly Anderson and Spikes. Other than finish color and markings, I've not seen any amazing difference. Other than cost.
I have a mix of DTI/Colt/Bushy and some 80 percents also. They all do the same. |

Anderson is junk I have a high end build precision Recce with the best of everything shooting sub 1/2 MOA. Probably $2,000 in it exclusive of optics. But, my go-to little HD carbine is based on the hunble Anderson stripped lower. It is no less reliable. Just doesn't have a snooty role mark. Notice the uniform anodizing, the tight fit to the upper, and how the forge contours match those of the upper. All holes are drilled precisely. Magazines fit properly. I could not ask for more, and it was $50 including the FFL paperwork. You will notice some rather pricey other components to this build, but no reason to waste money on the stripped lower.

Do not buy anything but a 100% metal lower/upper.
It boggles my mind that there is even a market for plastic lowers. The price difference between the 2 is miniscule. The AR15 is light as it is. |
