I would rather buy from Spikes any day of the week.. Spend alittle more and get some of the best customer service you will ever get. Plus No wait for their lowers..

Anvil and GSE were both sold out of lowers; Anvil gave the cold shoulder. I am very pleased with the service, the lowers and the price is great.

They are cheap ($86) and can come in grey if you are building a retro. Great bunch of people to deal with as well, had fantastic customer service from day one till finished. Essential Arms Website

+10000 for EA... great outfit. I've done 4 EA builds in the last month. All were flawless with DPMS uppers.

Be careful dealing with Gunsmoke Ent. It's been a while since I've dealt with them (THE LAST TIME), but they have a shady side. Maybe they've pulled their collective head out of their arse, but be wary.

I would have thought they would have been out of business by now.

Try Dennies Guns up top. Get an RRA instead. It's worth the piece of mind and revenge from me.

I ordered from them within the last 3 months and found them to have very poor service, took forever and several calls to get my order and then when it arrived it wasn't right and had to be shipped back. When I finally got the rifle kit back it had the wrong barrel....rather than deal with them any longer I'll live with the barrel that I recieved and chalk the experience up to a lesson learned.

Here's another +1 for them. I built my M4gery around one with a RRA lpk and CMMG upper. I have another EA lower with RRA lpk waiting on an upper. Great customer service too.

ETA: Someone recommended Spikes earlier. I'll +1 them. I have one of their pistol marked lowers waiting on an upper. It's absolutely gorgeous, and has the darkest, best finish of the 4 lowers I own, the fourth being a Bushmaster. And they're an industry partner!
