No problem. BADASS
I've built off of many lowers with no issues. Spikes Tactical (which I believe are made by Aero Precision, someone will correct me if I'm wrong), PSA, BCM, and unfortunately DPMS (luckily it was fine but I didn't know better). Don't get too caught up on the subject. Buy a spec lower from a reputable manufacturer and you should be G2G.
Not sure about you guys, but I'm only here for the free food and open bar.

Actually the KAC lower is a fairly good deal when you consider it comes with the ambi release and safety, 2 stage trigger, QD mount and SOPMOD stock.
What's the issue in CA, the ambi mag release?

CA doesn't allow for a rifle that accepts detachable mags with "evil" features, such as a flash hider, collapsible stock etc, one must use a tool to drop the mag. So most of us who aren't running featureless use some variation of a bullet button that is installed in place of a normal mag release, and requires us to use something with a thin tip (like the tip of a bullet). A selling feature of a true ambi lower is to drop the mag from both sides, sure we can still use the ambi bolt catch, but why bother? Now for those of us running without "evil" features then it could make sense
I'm not Grant but I own both BCM and LMT lowers currently and have owned several LMT lowers. You can flip a coin. Same goes with Colt, Daniel Defense and Noveske. I currently own or have owned all of them. I think people get way too caught up in some of this stuff. I won't agree that a lower is a lower but I will say that a PSA will serve most people just fine. I choose to use the lowers above for two reasons: I use them for work and I like having a good resale value like Grant mentioned earlier in the thread.
Assuming the lowers are following the TDP, I go down the line to the next item of importance (the LPK). I rank LPK's in this order:
Colt
LMT/KAC
BCM/G&R/Noveske
Next item, Receiver Extension. Per the TDP, they need to be 7075, hammer extruded, Type III HA and dry film lined.
The only companies that follow these specs are Colt, BCM, LMT and I think KAC. So kind of a wash there.
BCM lowers come with a mil-spec H buffer and one of the best grips on the market. The LMT lower does not offer these items. So BCM get the nod IMHO.

Grant,
Is there a way to tell what make the RE or if it were made by following the TDP?
