| between a anvil arms lower and a noveske lower? the reason I ask is I would like to build another AR and I am interested in a upper and lower being the same and I also would like the flag engraved on the lower. |

Not $200 worth of quality difference. I doubt honestly if you were blindfolded and made to use both that you could tell a difference.
Having said that, and feel free to call me a goob, it would bug me to put an expensive upper on top of a cheaper lower. For instance, a Noveske Upper (which is probably worth the price paid for it in quality difference) on my Roggio lower wouldn't sit right. If going top shelf, I want the curtains to match the carpet so to speak. It would function right but just would feel right. However, I would feel fine putting a doublestar upper on my Roggio lowers. That's my exact plan in fact. New |

As long as its not a Vulcan and it fucntions correctly, you cant go wrong. |

Noveske Lowers at Rainier Arms If you look they also have the blems for $185 And actually, DD's Ranch has the blems for $160....I have two of the blems, the "blem" is supposedly in the finish, but I have yet to find a blem....the only difference I can tell is the # 2 stamped inside the lower. |
| thanks for the input I will go with the anvil arms lower and upper. By the way I have a Colt, so I could care less what everyone thinks because im not buying a colt. I plan on building a 14.5 upper with a 556FSC pinned on it to make it legal. this should be fun. |
