ArmaLite of course!! Of course it actually runs under Eagle Arms.

Normally I'd go with Quantico Arms. That's where I bought my stripped AR-10 lower. But they seem to be out of stock or something since it isnt' listed on their site anymore.

Try Impact guns $138

I have heard of some quality control issues, so maybe RRA.

I second that, with the addition of Double Star. They're affililated w/ J&T Dist. I can't tell the difference against my BM lower. And they're not PURPLE

Your name is Bushmaster-LEO. You have 13 posts, and your asking us to tell you who makes the best lowers?

I'm bowing out of this one.

Is this a setup?? Your name is BushmasterLEO and you are asking who makes the best receiver. If I answer Colt, are you going to arrest me??

Bushmaster/Colt - even tossup. Line them up after that in any order you want to. Get Bushmaster if you want a black AR, get Colt if you want a grey one, although you can find Colt in black, IIRC.
