Eagle has had some recent QC issues. If you are particular about the precision.... I would go with RRA or Bushmaster.

I've built two AR's with them, and they worked great. No fit or finish problems. My only problem is finding them. As I just posted, Quantico is out of them, and I don't know of anybody else selling them for $80.00 a piece.

A big +1... No more Eagle Arms for me...  It's a few more bux but go with the Bushmaster lower. RRA's habit of leaving their lowers narrower where the takedown lug goes into the lower so it will fit their over machined upper takedown lugs is damn annoying... www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=201883 |

I've only had 2 Eagle lowers and had issues with both of them. The first one had some major problems and had to be sent back for a replacement. The second one (which was the replacement) had 2 holes drilled to deep. One hole was the one that holds the detent and spring for the front take down pin. The other hole was the one that holds the bolt catch spring and plunger. I had to put a spacer in both of them to make it work.
I've put together 3 Ameetec, 2 Mega, 1 VM HyTech and 1 Colt lowers together. None of those ever gave me problems like Eagle has. |

thanks for all the information. Based on this, I think I will pass on the eagle.

P.S. My Eagle lower has functioned fine on both a M16A1 upper and bushy upper. |

I got two from Quantico earlier this year for $75 each. Only have one assembled, but haven't put an upper on it yet. Had no trouble getting it together. RRA upper should be here tomorrow.

I bought 4 form Quantico Arms before the QC problems, and they were great. I had a converstion with Katrina Hensley, the owner, about the problems....Quantico had to send a whole batch of lowers back, and as a result weren't getting any new ones to sell. This was several months back, and she indicated she hoped the problems would be solved soon, and she'd get another batch to sell. Doesn't look like that's happened, though. Too bad...the 4 lowers I got were first rate, and a great bargain at that price.
