Is an AP lower decent for my next build?
I saw one at the local fun shop and I am thinking about getting it.
I want an SBR in a bad way.  I think they are totally sexy in black and tan.
I have read that most lowers are manufactured in only a few places,
but the fit and finish are better on some.

I currently have a DPMS lower with a 16" LMT upper and it is a nice mesh.
I eventually want an LMT lower so I have the complete LMT rifle.
For some reason I think that is better but probably more in my head.

Thanks

I believe all my Armalite receivers are Aero Precision. The fit and finish are all very good. My pre 2005 ones don't drop free Pmags (does not bother me) my post 2005 ones do. Buy with confidence.

I bought a Surplus Arms and Ammo lower (which is manufactured by Aero Precision) from AIM and it is gtg.  The anodizing was little light (apparently this is a Surplus A&A issue NOT an issue with all AP produced lowers) but its within spec and the rear takedown pin hole is threaded (so you can cap it with a set screw for easier disassembly/assembly).  Good attention to detail.  Buy with confidence, they make a nice lower.

I have used them for two builds with no problems.

I have put together 2 Aero lowers, one with a Daniel Defense LPK and one with Palmetto State Armory LPK. No problems what so ever. When I purchased the lowers, I ordered five and the fit and finish are great. Buy with confidence.

+1; as others have said, buy with confidence. Interesting article about AP at 230grain.com: here.
