I'm looking at possibly building an AR in the near future and I've been looking at Spike's Tactical Lowers that are on sale right now. I have a question about their lower's though. What's the difference b/w the "ST-15 stripped rifle lower Semi/Safe" and the "SL-15 stripped rifle lower with safe/semi/auto bullet markings"? Is there an advantage to one or the other and what are the actual differences?d

Not necessarily. The color fill is an option for both receivers. The difference is in the selector markings.

I think you're memory needs to be refreshed

It is simply the selector markings. Bullet diagram is an HK thing that they implemented because it's different(I like it!) and safe/semi is industry standard.
