    Aero Precision so far are my favorite ones. Tolerances are there and the finish has been applied properly and with out defect.

    I find the role mark to be simple and aesthetically pleasing, and I like the straight forward nondescript company name. I also enjoy the use of pictograms on the selector position markings.

    It is also my understanding Mega Machine lowers are made to very exacting tolerances as well. I do not have experience with them as I prefer the 'A' on the Aero lower Vs. the Atom Sign thing on the mega lower. It always makes me think of Homer Simpson at the Nuclear plant for some weird reason.

    It depends on how the law is written. In MD, as long as you owned a lower prior to October 1st 2013, you could legally build your AR. Maryland band AR's and lowers this past year so the only way you can buy one post October 1st is to purchase an HBAR. Yes, for some reason the politicians in MD think an AR with a heavy barrel is somehow less deadly.

    Otherwise, spend what it costs to get the little picture you like.
    Honestly, and I am not trying to be rude, I do not care about the roll mark.

    I just want a good quality lower but not want to overspend. If a $75 - $100 lower will do just as good as a $150 lower, then I see no reason to buy the $150 lower.

    Prices are still coming down. Maybe in a few months those $150 lowers will be marked down.

    If hillary gets her party nomination prices will probably go through the roof.

    Before the 2016 elections I would like to have a rifle built for each of my kids, and then have a few spare lowers to sell on the open market.

    It won't matter if Republicans keep control of the house and take control of the Senate.

    My comments are based on the previous federal ban.

    Between the Aero and the Rainier Arms, which is the better buy?

    http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=sho...roduct_id=2124

    http://www.primaryarms.com/Aero-Prec...p/ap501102.htm

    As for the prices, I can get an Aero and a Spikes lower parts kit for the price of a Rainier Arms lower with no parts.

    Not sure if it matters to the OP but the only 'small' issue I have with my Aero lower is that the bevel on the magwell is pretty much nonexistent. No experience with the Rainier but I wouldn't hesitate to get another Aero, especially if they can be had for $55 for a blem.

    Mega or Aero for a best bang for your buck lower. Rainier's are machined by Mega. Buy what ever you can find cheaper. If finish is important to you, Mega seems better.

    I picked up a Spikes for $90 and it seems to be the best bang for buck, also I like Mega. Beyond that you are paying for the roll mark or extra stuff.
