Which of these stripped lowers is nicer?  They seem to go for around the same price.  I have seen a RRA lower, and it had a nice finish but the lettering looked cheap.  How is the finish and lettering/logo on the Eagle?  Is the Eagle's finish as dark as the typical RRA or Bsuhmaster upper?

Do either of them have a problem with overly tight mag wells?

Thanks.

I've built one of each, both using RRA lower parts kits.  The only difference I could really tell was when attaching the upper.  Both my Bushy uppers went on the EA lower without a problem.  Both lowers were so tight on the RRA lower that I had to use considerable force to get the upper attached to the lower.  After shooting a few hundred rounds through the RRA/Bushy combo, things loosened up a bit.  Now it's just got a nice, tight fit.

I can't tell a difference between the magwells.

Hope this helps.

Both are reputable manufacturers, either will suit you well.

The RRA lettering on the recievers I saw did give it a "cheaper" kinda look then the EA lower. I build a .50 beowulf on a EA lower, and it works just great. If given the choice I'd probably go EA again.

Although not exactly on point, I've used an Eagle Arms lower and an ArmaLite upper on one of my AR-10's and have been very pleased.

In the past week I have personally inspected 30 new stripped RRA lowers.  They are all very well machined and the finish was perfect.  Granted I did not fit each to an upper to test fit but the ones I did try are great.

I am in the middle of a build on a RRA lower.  I have had no problems and fit and finish is excellent. It also had trouble when I mated it with my Bushy 20" upper to test function. I tfit VERY tight.but I just beveled the corners of the rear lug and it goes on very well and smooth.  I like RRA and would not hesitate building again.
