They should charge more for the blems not less!

They should charge more for the blems not less!
Especially when you consider who really forges receivers. Noveske has a higher reject rate as their tolerances are higher. But nowadays, all you gotta do is stamp a picture of some lawn and garden equipment on it and sell your garbage off to the masses. Outstanding buisness model. Next time maybe it'll be the Weed Whacker.

This "same forger" argument does not tell the whole story and is really a misconception. What matters is the spec is was ordered to and who finishes it. Noveske lowers, regardless of who else uses the same forger, are high quality due to strict quality control. They are much more consistent than othe manufacturers that are less strict, which keeps the cost down.
A few companies use FN barrels. Let's say Centurion and PSA both use FN, for example. I should just assume they're equally as good? Centurion barrels are 1 MOA capable with the right ammo while being 100% reliable. Let's say PSA I'd 100% reliable (I have no idea), that doesn't mean PSA barrels are 1 MOA capable.
"A lower is a lower" is no different than saying an "AR is an AR". Lowers from the same forger are not the same. neither are uppers, barrels, bolt carrier groups, lower parts kits or receiver extensions.
Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe
I'm curious as to where all the other "blem" lowers go?? BCM and Noveske are the only two offering them that I know of. Where do all the blems from Colt, DD, LMT, LaRue, etc.. go?
