Best, affordable lower (stripped or complete)?
Ok, well the manufacturer I originally chose hasn't replied to my multiple emails for a month.
Can someone recommend a good, afordable lower to go with to register and build an SBR on? I'll take it either stripped or complete, but no point in buying a full rifle if I'm going to buy a shorty upper eventually anyway.

theres a thread on what not to get and thats a RRA, they have trouble mating with uppers,the complete rifle is da bomb it comes with a 2 stage trigger and Hogue pistol grip, my guess is Bushmaster but there are plenty of lowers out there,DPMS,Bushmaster,Colt if you can find them,there are more but its late at night and Im sleepy.
thought of another two Olympic Arms,Eagle Firearms.

Other than RRA's funky dimensions and colts persistance on large firecontrol holes and off sized front takedown pins holes. Any of the forged lowers are fine....CMT, LMT, Double star, stag, bushmaster, etc....
I think the least expensive will be stag or CMT. THe only other consideration is resale. The more well known the name the better off you are if you try to sell it.

Thanks for all the tips, guys! If the Dems take back Congress I may go buy a lower tomorrow while I still can. I was also 'Selectedmarksman' over at AWBansunset.com, if anybody ever visited those boards. One "Assault Weapon" ban (shown to have a statistically insignificant effect on crime) was enough, who knows what they'll think of next.

Depends, how much is YOUR time worth ?Selectedmarksman wrote:Very cool indeed, but an extra $10 for a picto instead of safe/fire, and another $10 difference between the two picto's? Kind of hard for me to justify that : /
I lookt at it as for only $10.00 more.

Ah... I just noticed your location and the name of the manufacturer.
No offense intended. I'm just shopping for an inexpensive supplier of lowers so I can stock up on a few before Pelosi and her gang create some more anti-gun legislation. They're beautiful lowers, I'll have to settle for some DPMS or Double Stars for now.

Stuff costs money when it is not made in China by children. $135 strikes me as a really low price. $10 is the tip I gave the girl who washed my dog today.Selectedmarksman wrote:Very cool indeed, but an extra $10 for a picto instead of safe/fire, and another $10 difference between the two picto's?

Check out CMMG, they can build you a factory SBR.Selectedmarksman wrote:Ok, well the manufacturer I originally chose hasn't replied to my multiple emails for a month.

Scroll down to the SBR's.
