| Making plans for my next build and was looking for ideas for the lower. I already have DPMS and Spikes and have had an Eagle Arms in the past. All are nice, but I want something different just for different's sake. I was thinking LMT or maybe Noveske. What do you guys think on a regular lower (not billet) that is actually obtainable? |

I just go for the mil spec ones. I've got 2 dpms right now... I can tell you to stay away from the stag. I had one and used it to build a rifle for a friend. The lower still requires a hammer to seperate it from the upper. It just has WAY too much finish on it and is WAY too tight of clearance between the upper and lower. I have also talked to several others who have had this problem with stag. |
Give Tina at Specialized Armament Warehouse a call. That's where I got my complete 6721 lower to complete my Colt A3 Tactical.

This place cracks me up. "Mil-Spec" and "DPMS" don't belong in the same room. Unless it's made by Colt or FNH and has a go-switch, it's not mil-spec. Go with whatever logo makes your pants get tight, if that's what you're into. |
25 posts and he's already had the Colt koolaid.Mil-spec has little to do with whose name is stamped on the lower. Most of them are made at the same two or three places anyway. |
I can't believe I forgot about SAW, I have two rifles from them.......tks |
++1 You won't be dissapointed. |
Its not a milspec lower unless its full auto. The military doesn't spec out non-FA lowers, they simply pull parts if they want it something other than FA. Back to the original question, its going to be a matter of looks and what you like best. The Noveske is one of the best looking to my eye, but thats just me.

Thems is purdy

I am new here guys but my first stripped Stag lower went together slick with a DPMS LPK. It fits a Bushmaster upper just fine. Another Stag lower will soon be in the house, this time with either an RRA or Stag upper. This thread has had the first and ONLY negative post about Stag I have seen on this site. Can't prove it by me though, I am a happy and satisfied camper (Stag owner)....<><....

There was a billet stainless RR manufactured for a while. That would be pretty cool!

Thank you Stick. Funny how someone with 20k posts and someone with 25 posts can have the same thing to say. Maybe there's no correlation between number of posts and actual knowledge on a subject. Anyone here going to accuse Stick of drinking koolaid? I doubt it. Some things aren't koolaid, they're simply facts. |
