I am looking to get a stripped lower and have found a pretty good deal on a Noveske. It is $30 more than Mega and $15 more than CY6 which is what I was thinking of going with but I hear so much praise on Noveske. I have never messed with them so I wanted to ask those that have. The lower will have a Stag LPK installed and mounted to a 20" Sabre upper.
So how does it compare to Mega, CMMG, Stag, Spikes, CY6?? I have read on here that Stag actually makes the RRA lowers. This is post 556 and I thought i would make it a good one. |

A lower is a lower is a lower...unless one is billet. Yep. As long as it's in spec and the finish is good and you like the roll mark they are all the same. I VERY much like the Mega and actually given a choice would take it over the Noveske for the same price. The Noveske will always have more of an "Ohhh" type thing like a Colt lower does but they will all function the same. The Noveske will have a quick and easy resale if it is ever needed. Get whatever you can that is in stock. |

There is not one thing special about the Noveske stripped lower. Out of all the ones you mentioned I would probably get the Defensive Edge CY6 lower. They have a thread posted that shows the steps they put into making them. Broached magwells being one of note.
Remember, not all parts are created equal. |

I have a Noveske lower with a Stag LPK, and BCM 20" upper. Had some problems with the BCM upper, so they sent a new one. The new one is pretty tight so it requires a punch on the front take down pin. But I think the problem is the upper since the first upper fit fine.
I agree with what most here are saying, a lower is a lower. Looking back, probably could had saved some money with a cheaper one. Oh well. |

Seriously not much of a difference as long as it's made to spec. |

I like that the CY6 has the tightening screw but truthfully it has never been an issue. Most of the rifles I have messed with have always had a good fit between upper and lower with the exception of Marine Corps issued. Those like to wobble depending on which one comes out the window. So I guess the decision is coming down to CY6 or Mega. Thanks for the input |

The CY6 is the nicest non billet lower I've seen. |
