Are these good receivers? I know that CMMG rifles are highly regarded, but I don't see many people using their lowers. Anyone care to post opinions?

I see that they have a Teflon-based finish on top of the anodization. Now, how does this affect the lower, and, more specifically, if I wanted to GunKote, does the Teflon finish affect the process at all?

I also hear that CMMG is somehow related to DPMS. Are CMMG lowers simply rebadged DPMS lowers? If not, from what forgings are these machined from?

Thank you.

CMMG is top notch, very friendly and helpful folks.  I have a complete CMMG rifle, although I bought the upper and lower seperately, and pushed the pins myself to save money.

I'll speculate you don't see much talk about their lowers because they are $125.  Most the excitement you see is about the cheaper brands.
