I'm new to this forum. I want to build an AR15. I need some guidance on the lower receiver. I'm not sure what to buy. Cast or Forged receiver? Small pin or large pin? Who makes a quality receiver? Whose receivers is everyone using?
Thanks for your help. I know I can learn a lot on this forum. |

Welcome.
Many here will say one or another brand is best. I will say all are virtually the same. There are very few companies that make most of them. You want a small pin. Almost all are small pin. Colt made the large pins. It was to keep people from being able to drop in full auto parts. However, without a sear pin hole, that wouldn't work anyway. I have used cast and forged receivers. I couldn't tell you now which is which. I have used Bushmaster, PWA, Templar, BPM, LMT, and probably several others that I cannot remember now. All have worked well. |
