They are gtg.... Really? Because their lowers are for shit. Ok I will bite.... What do you make your enlightened observations on? Mine are made on experience and use of Anderson stuff (I used to work for them) I have made a few rifles for Team Savage members that love them.... but what the fuck do I know? |

They are gtg.... Really? Because their lowers are for shit. The one I bought, and verified with Anderson that it was not a blem, had several issues. The worst being that the pistol grip screw threaded hole wasn't tapped deep enough. Multiple grips were tried, none seated completely on the pistol grip boss. The bolt catch plunger hole was not anodized, which leaves me to believe that it was machined after anodizing. The bolt catch roll pin hole has a large burr. The trigger guard roll pin hole is mislocated, I couldn't use a Magpul trigger guard. I had to go through several USGI trigger guards and squish the split pin to install it. Half of my USGI mag stick and Pmags won't fall free. This has all been documented by me and passed on to Anderson. I've built many lowers and machined a few 80%er's so I was able to make it a functioning lower. |

I have handled receivers like that from Colt (and other manufacturers) sometimes they get out that way QC is not 100% so from your sample source of "1" all things Anderson are now complete shit? |

Every manufacturer will have an occasional lemon, I had a 2nd Gen stripped Chainsaw Noveske lower that had a few problems back a year or so ago. Their integrated trigger guard lower is the best bang for the buck right now,IMHO! |

Ah.
But if the lower just had one issue then perhaps that would fly. I would even be parroting that response myself. But seeing as how this lower had several issues. And I verified with Anderson that it was not a blem. And Anderson's CS rep didn't at all seem surprised or concerned. Well, that speaks volumes to me. |

Well, since this thread is now about lowers I'll throw my two cents in. In my experience, Anderson lowers are GTG. Never had one bit of trouble with the two I've built into rifles. There, that settles it - Anderson lowers are GTG. Yep, my sample of two are GTG also. |
