Haven't tried the ATI brand, but Plumcrazy and NFA polymer lowers work great. Long term durability has been reported to be an issue (Trigger pin holes elongating), but I haven't had an issue in over 5k rounds.

Good for your dedicated 22lr for sure.

I used a PC lower for road testing my hand loads. Figure IF something happened and the unexpected occured, no biggie. Better a $150ish lower than my BRD!.
We also have a few Cav-Arms lowers nice and work great.
IMHO, FWIW: At the price point of a polymer lower, why not? Upgrade to a .mil spec H/T/S and shoot away. Right now EVERYONE is paying mad money for metal lowers, score an under $100 poly and bank the rest in ammo[if you can find it]

Douglas County Guns had a bunch of polymer complete lowers priced at $115.00 today.

Have had great luck with New Fronteir from Joe Bob Outfitters. Once in a while they are a little tight for the upper but with some light file work mice snug fit.
