[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Billet lower / Forged upper

Going to have a Daniel Defense MK18 upper and was thinking about trying a billet lower. Will most or all billet lowers fit and function normally with a DD forged upper?

Yes. An ar15 receiver is an ar15 receiver, is an an ar15 receiver

It might look kinda funny but it'll work.

If you want one that will flow perfectly with your forged upper. the 2A-Armament BALIOS-lite or standard BALIOS is a good answer. It was designed to be perfectly complimentary to a forged product... Top or bottom.

As an example:

Any Milspec upper will fit any another Milspec lower.

Works fine for me

Both ways

Why not get the best of both worlds, and get a Forged Noveske Gen 2?

Or the Noveske billet Gen 3

The Noveske looks awesome. I just don't have any experience with billet and I really thought I heard (somewhere) that you should have a billet set and not just a billet lower or upper, something to do with the tension screw?

I just like the looks of some of these billet lowers and figured I'd give it a shot.
