    Nobody mentioned in case of another assault rifle ban.

    If anything, this thread is about hedging against inflation.

    In 10 or 20 years as prices go up I will already have some rifles to pass down.

    But then again, its not like AR-15s have gone up "that" much in 20 years.

    Or you can get informed over this matter before spouting your mouth off at me.

    The "snap" has more to do with the pressure of the safety detent spring and fit of the detent pin in the detent than it does with the lower.

    If you can find Aero Precision lowers for $80 a pop, you have your answer

    Not when the depth of the hole is a few thousands too deep.

    As I said, I tried several springs and different detent pins.

    I even ordered a Colt safety selector from brownells to replace the one I got from PSA.

    The depth of the hole in the receiver, or the diameter?

    I think the depth of the hole for the spring was too deep.

    There was almost no tension on the safety selector, and the safety selector did not align with the safe / fire markings on the receiver.

    I suspect the hole was drilled out of spec.

    I think you're overthinking this one ... If you don't want a particular rollmark, here's a link to Aero Precision for $60 (they also have blem Aero lowers for $55). Free shipping over $100.

    Otherwise, spend what it costs to get the little picture you like.

    The Aero blem lower for $55 seems like a great value.
