My LGS has an Anderson lower so out of spec that you can't even put a mag in it. They keep it around for entertainment value. Also keep in mind that there is a market springing up for parts to correct the out of spec nature of their lower.

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.
Oh, man. I get attached to stuff - wives, girlfriends, cars, motorcycles, guns, you name it.
If I was a rancher I'd have 5,000 head of 5 year-olds, every one named. And, because I couldn't decide which one was my favorite, and I'd never sell my favorite, I'd never sell one. That puts a severe dent in the whole profit thing.
Me too. Hence why I have this dilemma. I should've sold it when I first traded like I had intended As I figured it'd be easier to sell the gun than a dirt bike since I wasn't getting many calls. Then I never listed it for sale and now here I am. Plus it was a private sale( which aren't tracked in TN) if that makes any difference to the conversation at hand.

Just curious here ,why other than what people, who have not seen or shot the gun said, makes you not like the upper? Have you considered shooting it beside your other AR ? With the same scope if possible and compare . switch lowers and then re try . It may become your go to gun .

Shoot it. I’m guessing it was shot by the previous owner? See how it shoots. I also wouldn’t sell at this time. Save it for when prices go up if you want to rid yourself of it.
Nothing really. It's not T marked like my other one but that's trivial really. Mainly Anderson seems to have the reputation around here of being pretty low end is all. Was concerned about reliability and wondered if the upper it's self was ok and if maybe their barrels are decent. Hoped maybe if so that a bcg change was all it would need to be solid, might decide to keep it. Just need to put some rounds through it and see how it does. On another note I've heard good things about the wylde chamber.
I agree. I just built up a very basic M4gery on an Anderson lower "just because" I felt like it and had the tools. So far (100 rounds) it runs ok, shoots ok, no issues. It's going to be a utility gun and so take some of the wear and tear I'd otherwise be putting on the Colt. To my further shame I admit to buying a Bushmaster when I got back into ARs about 12 years ago. It's now a spare, but in 4000 plus rounds all I had to do was install a D-fender for better extraction. Always goes bang.
As noted above, your Frankengun has no great resale value at this time; so I'd shoot it like I stole it and see what, if anything breaks. What have you got to lose?
