[Armadillo]

If you could own any lower receiver you want - what would you choose?
Please post a link, also.

[vicious_cb]

Make lowers great again.

I like a standard forged lower with a nice simple logo and regular Fire or Semi and Safe markings. So I pick KAC because I don't own one and I think it looks cool.

Edited to add a couple more...

I own and like Noveske both gen 1 and 2. But if Geisselle ever released their lowers for sale I'd probably pay anything for it haha and I don't know why.

I have only two on my "Die Happy Wishlist". In no particular order;

M231 lower - Nothing screams "I wanna go fast" like extra sheet metal to hold in pins.

Magpul China Doll - It's on the rare side, it's expensive and it's goofy. I want one.

[vandal5]

Magpul - China Doll
LaRue - go with the kit I bought.
Colt - I just really like the ones that say "M4 CARBINE" on them.

If the Colt is too plain to count, I'd go with KAC with the built in QD mounts and ambi controls.

You did say unlimited funds :cool:

[Wolfpack45]

KAC Ambi & LMT MARS

Full ambi lowers without crazy billet designs.

[teksid]

1. Colt
2. Noveske
3. Spikes Crusader

[hile]

KAC ambi, BCM, and a HK416 lower. Preferably all with a sear hole drilled (since we did say unlimited funds.)

This ^^^^^

[TMS951]

Lowers I can actually buy with unlimited funds? Pre 86 transferable Colt M16A2, 3 of them.

Title 1 lowers currently available? I guess KAC, they seem the best, I've just never felt inclined to pay that much. A milspec lower with a Norgon Ambi and a nice short throw ambi selector is all I've ever needed.

I like my Colt M4 lower, because its a Colt, but its not special. I like my SMOS lower, its basically a Noveske Gen 3, however its pig heavy. I'd say may favorite lower I currently have is my milspec KAC lower. Nothing special, just from a legit company with a nice role mark and name.

Winner Winner.

[1168]

M16A1 if funds are truly unlimited.

More realistically:
Umbrella Corp
Mega
Grey Ghost

I don’t really get excited about lowers the way I do about barrels. Any PROPERLY made lower will do. I do prefer a little more generous magwell flare, though.

I have enjoyed the alleged thread drift.

I was talking currently available and under $1000.

Carry on though!

I have a Colt that I bought via my first AR, Colt6940 "Restricted", nothing special but its a Colt and I built a MK18 on it, so it special to me. So I get it. Sometimes the Pony is just too cool.

[Coal Dragger]

1.) KAC SR-15. Love the quality, and functionality. The markings look cool too...

2.) Colt M4A1. Again good quality, I like mine a lot. Love the pony roll mark. I’m a fan boy.

3.) KAC SR-25. Quality, functionality, cool markings... and made for 7.62 NATO family. What else does one need?

[vicious_cb]

Because Deus Vult!

Well if NFA lowers are verboten for the purposes of this thread, I’d go with Noveske, Mega, then I guess try out one of the ambi-coolieo SR15s.

But honestly I don’t get too stuck on lowers - I started with Mega Machine lowers for my first build about 10 years ago and aside from getting a Noveske lower to match an upper, that’s really all I use - markings really don’t mattter but I just defaulted to Mega.

I know it’s boring. ;)

[Stickman]

I have a few lowers that have my badge number that companies have remembered and been nice enough to send me. I also have a few lowers that are serial number 00002, and companies have been nice enough to send me those as they know I like them.


If we weren't going by the above factors, I have an early one that John Noveske gave me, and the C series Magpul lower that Richard gave me, and then I have MPLA lowers that went from Magpul to Noveske, and that Johnny gave me, so I would have to choose those for sentimental value.

[Stickman]

I have serial numbers 0001-0005 of these, though a buddy absconded with one.... but these are a favorite as well.

Machine gun lowers aside, the answer is obvious.

1) Colt "GOVT PROPERTY"
2) Colt "M4A1"
3) I'd get a forged lower custom engraved with my personal Jolly Roger my son created for me. (See my avatar)

[PatrioticDisorder]

MG lowers not including, here is my list:

1. Radian AX556
2. LMT MARS-L
3. LWRC ambi lower

Function over roll mark. The A-DAC feature on the AX556 has really spoiled me.

[Hart]

There's an idea, a lower with a Stickman figure emblazoned on it.

[1168]

I’ll take one, and form 1 it.

[Hart]

Stickman, do you think you could arrange something like that? Should be every bit as cool as Magpul's China doll series

[Armadillo]

Lots of love for the KAC SR-15.

I was hoping for a billet lower but I really like the looks of that with the ambi.

I like the integrated trigger guard on a billet lower.

I don't see any stripped lowers around but this is more complete:

It could be done, but I'm hesitant for a few reasons. First, I don't think many people would be interested. Second, I try not to buy into hype, or have inflated opinions of myself, and I'm afraid it may be taken the wrong way in the community. If you guys have interest in it, feel free to make a new post about it in my section on M4C.

You can find one for a far better price than that with a little patience.

I get your point, but really?!?

Yeah, I’ll take that run down trailer home because it puts a roof over my head just like a mansion.

But in all seriousness, with unlimited fund, I personally would be more focused on support gear then rifle. Things like night vision, thermal, ir.

Ya' know... many moons ago, I did own a Gen.III POF-415 (it's still my avatar pic); while my piston AR phase has passed, I DID like that lower - especially the ambi-bolt release. That, and the Geissele SSA I put in it. :cool:

I had one of those, too. It had a wonderful NP3 finish on it. I ended up selling it for some reason.
