    Had good luck with----

    Hey, these are some non wallet busters I've had good luck with. RRA, Doublestar, Bushmaster but wasn't machined as well internally. With some cleanup the Bushy went fine. Even Armalites were not to pricy. The best all oround quality as of late have been the Doublestars. My last batch of Rocks were not as good as normal. As well as the 8 month wait for the next batch. Most of these retail for around 105-125 stripped.

    I have a personal preference for LMT lowers, for a few reasons- aesthetic and convenience based.

    My vote is Sun devil and POF billet, those are some really cool looking lowers.

    I have RRA, Stag, and LAR. My favorite lower is my LAR Grizzly.
    Second favorite are my RRA lowers. Stag is nice but the machining is not as nice.
    My LAR is perfect; one of my RRA lowers is perfect the other has a slight forging mark at the rear above the pistol grip. Both stags have milling marks on the outside, and under near the trigger slot. All solid lowers.

    I say go with the roll mark you like the best.

    well my (only) local gun shop is a DPMS dealer and he told me A DPMS lower out the door would be $150. so I guess I'll have him get me one.

    Stripped or fully assembled, bigghose? If it's stripped then you're getting ripped off. If not stripped, well, beginnings of a budget-gun I guess.

    I don't see how. their website lists them for $185(wich is absurd) the others I've seen were $115-$125 then factor in shipping (I live about 3 hours from anywhere most people have ever heard of) and the dealers fee, I don't see how I'm suppose to get one cheaper. BTW he's usually a bit high but this is the only gun dealer without driving for at least half an hour one way.

    I have a couple of P.O.F. lowers coming. Im thinking one will be a full POF system and the other Im not to sure yet. But for the money a billet one seemed to be the way to go.

    Doublestar for $99
    CMMG for $114

    Shipping shouldn't be that much of a concern, and transfer fee shouldn't be more than $30 max. Either one (in my opinion at least) is a better option than the DPMS. Maybe not, but that's your preference.

    I see, it's the shipping part. I was about to comment that I too have seen them for $115 but forgot I actually live somewhere near civilization and have an FFL who takes care of me.

    Still, at4rxj has a point about the Double Star lowers and CMMG, and if memory serves all three of those are made by the same folks (L.A.R. Manufacturing). MMS lowers are pretty closely priced and look to be pretty decent lowers (wish I had more than second-hand experience with them, though).
