    Cant say enough about my Palmetto State Armory lower (or whole rifle for that matter)

    I'll pick up another whenever that $49 deal comes back around

    I always wanted to take two shotguns and mount one on either side of a Rottweiler...I will call the breed a Shottweiler

    All of my lowers are Colt's and LMT's, but if I was buying a new lower today I would probably go with the AXTS which is really, really nice.
    If I didnt go KAC ambi id go Noveske.

    LOL, well I guess he could be correct (as there are different types of anodizing), but my guess is that they are all the same in this regard.

    To a certain degree, you are paying for a name. Do you want two "cock's" attempting to beat a spider to death or do you want an Iron Cross??

    If you want a TRUE TPD following lower, there is really only one choice and that is Colt. With that said, some of my fav lowers are:

    DD
    RA
    Lancer

    Lowers are not nearly as important as what is in them.

    I almost shit myself the first time I saw the "spider smushing cocks". I don't know who would ever agree to that design. Yes, I do know it is supposed to be a spider but damn, come on...

    Noveske, LaRue, and BCM are what I own. Three of them are Noveske, two are N4 and 1 in the Gen 2. LMT will probably be my next purchase.

    There is a difference in the finish from different manufacturers. Other than integrated ambi controls it's the biggest difference I see between lowers. I don't think the difference is worth $100.

    Lowers from AP, PSA, SAA have a less robust finish than lowers from AXTS, Noveske, ArmaLite and Mega.

    DOD shows different types/classes of mil-spec finish, the problem is finding the details on this.
