I chose the Sun Devil, although I LOVE!!! that GTS Ionbond'ed their set. I am having my new 3-Gun rifle Ionbonded, but after about 1000 rounds. Just want to work the bolt carrier and upper receiver together a smidge before hand.
Either one will do the trick.

2nd on SD-15 ...
Solid billet machining on Sun Devil lowers nylon tipped tension screw can't go wrong with that - I only have a Sun Devil lower so my vote only counts for half but I wanted an all aluminum billet machined upper and lower. Sun Devil only made lowers at that time and for the money it was the hot ticket IMO.

About that nylon tipped tension screw. An old Armory Sargent told me once that
for the best accuracy, that a little loose play needs to be apart of the weapon.Because if its too tight it wont float when fired. And too loose it will tell the bad guys where you are. But I guess he wouldn't know after WW2, Korea and Vietnam. 
Good Shooting,
Patriot

I bought an Anvil Arms lower. I bought a LMT 2 stage trigger off of the EE at Arfcom. It would not work in it. OK, maybe a bad trigger. I bought a new CMMG 2 stage trigger, and it would not work quite right either. I took my RRA 2 stage from my RRA, and it would not work in it. I am kind of bummed on Anvil right now. it looks great anyway.

If he used an AR in WW2 and Korea he is a true time warrior!
