the top 3 are in the order that I would say.
CMMG top and DPMS third I have no idea on the bottom 2 Double star stripped lowers are great and I love the black finish it is perfect. |

the top 3 are in the order that I would say. Coincidence, they were alphabetical, but thanks for responding. Some reading elsewhere is leading me towards CMMG for assembled rifles. I've read that all lowers are about the same, but I've also read a complaint that Superior Arms final machining on their lowers is a little rough. Hopefully I'll get a few other comments from people with experience. |

Sabre is great stuff. And maybe put Rock river in front of bushmaster. And put DPMS in front of Olympic. You also left out KAC, LWRC, top tier stuff and POF,middle of the road |

Id say DPMS is higher quality than Doublestar just because I have seen both in person. The other one's I've only heard and seen pictures of.

Only ones I have experence with are, DPMS, two parts kits, an M4 clone and a 20" A2, both assembled on olympic arms recievers, both shot fine. Double Star, I have experience with their sister company, J&T for rifle kits, and they are sweet. The last builds I have done were on superior arms stripped lowers, good quality lowers IMO. I dont like the adjustable set screw that comes stock to adjust trigger travel, but it is easily removed.

you will never be able to tell the difference. But double star has that pimp ass.... dragon/phenox/bird thing as a logo (WTF is that thing?!?)––- I'll tell THAT as a difference =) hahahahahha... BTW––- I've used 2 Doublestar stripped lowers in builds... a couple DPMS lowers, and a CMMG (and a handful of POF and LMT's)... the only real difference is that that the Doublestars are a deeper black then the rest of your options... As far as assembled Rifles?... yeah, you probably won't tell the difference |
