Anderson lowers have been on sale for $30 several times in the past couple months. Aero Precision lowers are <$50 a handful of places. PSA lowers were $50 last time I looked at them.

I bought mine at the $29.99 price tag. Got them built already. Need a sale again. Andersons have been great for me. No problems at all. Good Shooting

AR stuff has gotten so cheap I've bought not one but one and a half in the past two weeks. And I haven't owned an AR since George Bush the First was in office.

I started building in 2011, and the drop in lower prices is considerable. For a long time it was like all the manufacturers had a price fixing agreement to not go below $85-$95, and you paid even more for a well established or mainstream maker's roll marks.
I find it amusing that I can find complete lowers cheaper than most 80% lowers. |

I don't know about powers, but LOWERS have certainly gotten cheaper. Andersons for $29.99 twice in the last month or two (picked up 3 for $99.50 including shipping), Aero's for $48.99 right now, Spikes could be had for $65 a few weeks back.... PSA lowers have ALWAYS been about $49.99-$59.99 (they really didn't gouge people like others did)... the other brands are still holding out for some reason, but there is good deals to be had. |

If making a FFL transfer is the fee for each lower or if person purchased 3 for example is it only one transfer fee?

There's a couple of shops in my area that charge $40 the initial transfer. Seems silly paying the same or more for the transfer than the lower itself.

Man all my favorite LGS are still hiking prices on stripped lowers. Spikes are about $100 before tax ect, paid $150 for one a little over a year ago. In November ish I paid $130 for a Kinetic, wanted to get one just in case Clinton got elected.

Prices of lowers in gun shops depend on how many and how often they sell. Shops that sell lowers (and other items) as soon as they come in can sell then at lower margins than those who have stock sitting on shelves for long periods of time.
Also, consider some manufacturers advertise a higher msrp to help dealers make some profit on their items. |

I've purchased Aero lowers locally for $55-$60, which is ok with me. Transfer and background fees would put most online purchases higher than that for even an Anderson.

I looked up a few prices today and didn't see any price drop. Shouldn't everyone offer 3 lowers for a $100 by now? :-) I see both PSA and Anderson lowers are actually the same price as before the election. :-( Are you wanting a good quality lower for that price?....if so, good luck. PSA and Anderson both offer inferior products that are not properly spec'd. That has been proven over and over again, at least 1,000 times. It's actually mind blowing, the amount of people here that praise their horrible quality because they can be had dirt cheap. You either want quality or you don't, there's no in between. Why would anybody settle for the terrible quality offered by PSA/Anderson when quality manufacturers such as Noveske, BCM, Mega, Aero all offer correctly spec'd lowers for $150 or less? Another company offering good lowers is Spike's Tactical for around $100. Aero Precision lowers can be purchased for $80-$90, Mega Arms, around $80. Settling for Anderson and PSA junk just doesn't make sense. |

Aero has been my go to for most of my builds. A company had the Aero gen2 on sale for 37.99 a piece a few months ago, I ordered 2. But I did snag a Anderson closed ear lower for 4th of July 29.99 primary arms deal and it is finished very well. I built a budget truck gun out if it. I snagged another the other day for another budget build. 29.99 for a decent lower is tough to beat. Mega are nice but side by side it is no different then the Aero except for some little scallops.

Over the years, between family, friends and co-workers, I've seen dozen's of PSA stripped-lowers assembled into perfect, functional rifles. Every single magazine-well is in-spec, trigger-pocket, receiver-extension ect. PSA sells an excellent forged Lower, period. |

If you feel like you just need to piss extra money away on a name, then by all means do so but don't feel the need to knock every one else who wants to use PSA/Anderson. TO THE OP: As for the sales on lowers...as it's been mentioned a few times already, Anderson open and closed ears have been on sale numerous times in the past month or 2. Just keep an eye open! |

Don't spread your ignorance here. All lowers are made from a handful of companies doing forgeries then machined by a handful of companies making lowers for more than one brand/rollmark.

Personally I have built the big names and Anderson/PSA, I have seen no functional difference. You can't say that they haven't had well documented issues, even on this site. It has been documented.

Go to the (3) websites mentioned "Areo Precision" "Palmetto State Armry" "Anderson Arms" and subscribe to their mailing list.
These manufacturing company's are leading the market with AR lowers that are low priced but not cheaper in quality. Pick the one that you like the best as they are all quality and at bottom of the market prices today, cannot get much lower price. |
