Hey guys im getting ready to start building a new varmint gun in .223 and have been looking around for a good deal on a complete lower but honestly I don't want to overlook some of them just because I haven't had any trigger time on them. So long story short i would just like to know what your favorite lower is along with a brief explaination of why!
Thanks in advance,

I say build your own. It only takes about 15min. of your time, and you'll get it the way you want it.
I second this. Unless you don't want to customize your rifle. If you dont want to build it yourself, I'm sure someone on here would assemble you one for some beer.Quote:

My favorite is my DPMS with my name engraved on it. NFA fun.....However, I do like my Sun Devil Billet for fit and finish. It also has a feature to take up slop between the receivers.
If you go strickly by the number of lowers, my favorite would be Olympic lowers but that is just cuz I found a bunch of them cheap. They're older and the finish is kinda thin, but they accept and drop MOST GI mags I've got. I've got a couple of Bushmasters that look really nice and drop EVERY mag I own, but they were a bit more expensive that all the rest. I've got an ASA that was the first lower I built an AR on that drops all the mags I own but the PMAG's (go figure that one if you can[Shock]) and one Tactical Innovations that drops everything and was less than $100 that drops all the mags I own. The best finish are the Bushmasters, then the ASA or the Tactical Innovations and then the Olympics. There isn't a whole lot of difference in finish between the Bushmasters or ASA or TI, but there is a BIG difference between them and the 4 Olympics I own. For the money, I'd get another TI because they've got nice finish and are about $50 less than the Bushmaster or the ASA. BTW, if you build your own, take LOTS of care with the trigger guard ears, I broke one on the ASA upper.[Rant1]
LMT.
Rainier Arms has good deals on them.
Spike's tactical look great and fit great, hard to find sometimes though, they were cheap when I bought 6 of them, only $80 stripped back in '08.
Build your own and put a JP single stage trigger in it- love mine, cleanest break ever for under $150
POF Buy a stripped one and build the way you like it. Only way to go
