So vie got my upper on order, now for the lower. I'm looking into billet lowers. I've found Spikes and Mega (rainier arms ). Give me the skinny, PLEASE.
They look very similar, but Mega runs $130 less. Tell me what i need to know. Thanks.

From a metallurgical standpoint, billet < forged.
The only "benefit" to fully milled receivers is consistency of dimensions between parts. Considering the machining done on a standard, forged receiver, the benefit is non-existent; however, they look really cool. :rolleyes:
Oh jeez, not sure how to respond to that first response but to the OP's question, the mega lower at least gives you the option to fit with either one of their uppers, or if you go with their GTR-3S, it'll fit nicely with a forged upper.
Anyone try the LaRue lower?
So, the only difference is the fit and finish of a billet is more consistent? I can get just as solid a fit with mil spec, forged lower attached to mil spec upper?
The Mega billet lower, with Spikes enhanced LPK is same price as Spikes mil spec forged lower, with same LPK. Which would you get?
I recently got a Spikes billet lower, its a very nice piece, it also comes with an ambi bolt release.
What makes the GTR-3H fit better with their uppers than the GTR-3S? I've thought about getting one but won't have a billet upper anytime soon but eventully will in the far future.
The GTR-3H just blends with their uppers and the GTR-3S blends with regular forged uppers. You could see the difference at rainierarms.com, it's not a huge difference.
