[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What lower receiver for a build?

Posted: 9/4/2005 5:51:08 PM EDT

Quick advice, of the lower receiver manufacturers out there, and NOT buying as a matched set, whose lower would you recommend for a build? I'm planning on putting a Chip McCormick trigger in it and a White Oak upper on it. Build completion at the end of my forthcoming second Iraq tour.

Stag from Eagle Firearms.

Great lower (made by CMT) at a great price($85)

Received two Stag lowers last week and I think they are super. Had no problems with fit or finish.

Someone should pin up one of these very common dupe threads

or somehow get everyone to use the search function.
anyone of the lowers offered today are good. i have used a long list of different ones and have never seen/found any issues with them.

the main ones to avoid would probably be vulcan/hesse

For fit, finish and $$$$ I like Rock River Arms

I've built a rifle on a Stag and a Superior Arms receiver. Both were excellent quality receivers. You can't go wrong with either one.

It would be hard to beat that price on a high quality lower.

Stag makes RRA's lowers. If you don't like the little deer head on the Stag you can pay extra for a RRA (the finish on RRA are a little better on the ones I have seen, but you'd have to be kind of picky to pay the extra for a RRA because of that). Denny's Guns is going to start selling Stag lowers with his own logo for those that don't like the deer head.

I think it's pretty hard to beat Eagle Firearms price on Stag lowers.

Mega lowers are also a nice lower for a low price.
