Probably a dead horse topic, but which receiver out of the dozen makers do people prefer?

RRA
CMMG
ROGGIO
TERRITORIAL GUNSMITH
SPIKES
LRV?
MEGA
STAG
DEL-TON
ANVIL ARMS
ESSENTIAL ARMS
DOUBLE STAR

Not to mention the billet lowers out there.  All of the above range from $100 to $249.  How does one make a choice?

You make your choice either by finish, roll mark, availability & price. Or based on what everyone else has or how you tend to make decisions. No one else can make it for you.

As long as its not Hesse/Vulcan they're pretty much the same. Just pick the logo you like best.

I stick with the ones that are $100 +/-.

They're all basically the same. Get the cheapest one.

Whichever you like best. They do pretty much the same thing

Some claim that they wire EDM the mag well, and another eliminates sharp corners reducing internal stresses.  Sometimes it all seems like hype.

Right now, you should "prefer" whatever lower you can get your hands on.

Aren't all of them $100+ now?

You forget Sun Devil on your list. Billet is more expensive though...

Currently, yes. What I meant was the ones that are $100 +/- a small amount. Like the 2 Essentials I got for $124 ea. shipped and transferred.

Mega machines some of the best receivers out there.

I haven't been able to find a real difference between any of them.

I've used Ameetech, Doublestar, Stag and Essential Arms. They're all good, but I didnt care for the color of the Stag. Right now Essential Arms are the way to go, only $100 apiece for up to 5 lowers.
