Ranking AR-15 complete lowers

[Singlestack]

Don't overlook Spike's Tactical. I'll put mine up as equal to or better than any you can find for fit, finish and price.

+1 on Spikes!!! You can get the stripped lower for $80 and Spikes LPK for $63 from AIM tactical. They are currently out, but said they expect more in the next couple of weeks. Worthwhile to check back.

I have actually had no problems with my DPMS.

this thread is a disaster waiting to happen as people will most likely be pimping their favorite. fact is in general lowers are all going to perform the same. its a non "functional" part of the weapon. i have used five different lowers and never noticed any difference. sure, if you are going to get it stamped, buy something a little more expensive for safeties sakes, maybe lmt or bcm, but frankly for any old rifle pretty much anything will work. ive used dpms, stag, superior arms, del-ton and colt, believe it or not. i never noticed any difference other than finish. id say buy a reputable company, any will do, but find it the cheapest you can. spend your money on barrels, triggers, hammers, and bcgs. most everything else is just flashiness with a fancy name and insignia on it. ive gotten really good deals on lowers from aimsurplus fyi.

Thanks to all for the replies. This "newbie" learned a lot.
