Sure there are others that are similarly priced and have a better reputation. I paid $115 off the shelf + NYS sales tax. Nobody around here where I live (lower NY) carries stripped lowers other than Bushmaster, which was $200 off the shelf.
I recently picked up some of Dennys lowers I had shipped to a different dealer. $115 + transfer fee $50 for each + NYS sales tax. You guys that are lucky to live in areas where the FFL charges less should count your blessings. That is the going rate for dealers in NY.
I have owned Colts, Bushmasters, EAs, Olympics, Pac West, SGW, Lauer, and Gristmill. Despite the undisputed fact that Hesse sucks the big one, their Vulcan lowers are the exception probably cause they don't make these themselves. Believe me, I looked over their lower real carefully for a few months before I finally bought one. Besides, it was for building a cheap blaster anyway.
