    I recently picked up a Detroit Gun Works receiver set from my FFL. The price was $90 delivered + $20 for the transfer.


    Overall the set appears pretty nice. They could have done a better job of matching the upper and lower finishes, but probably only anal retentive people like me would even notice the difference. I have not built the set yet, so I have no way to know how well things will go together.

    I have a set on the way from Tactical Machining and will post pictures of it after I do the transfer.

    Why did you decide on the Motown receivers, are you from the D?

    No. They were inexpensive and I read good things about them on the internet, so I figured why not.

    I just received 5 of them. 4 were consecutive SN's.
    I have searched and searched and cannot find any blemishes.

    ETA: all 5 of mine were pictograms

    I picked up some PSA blems during the bf sale. 2 safe/fires and a pictogram. The safe fires had flats at the backstrap from grinding off the flash, the pictogram was perfect.

    The safe/fires had a hole drilled/tapped for a tension screw behind the grip screw, pictogram did not.

    Rollmark on the on the pictogram was much nicer. To anyone buying psa's, going forward I will only get the pictogram receivers. Grain of salt as the safe/fire lowers were different than the last 1 I picked up a few months ago and had different serial prefixes.

    For forged lowers, I've had the best luck with Aero, Mega, Seekins, and Umbrella Corp. They're all pretty much interchangeable to me. I haven't had any problems or tolerance issues with any of them.

    Any place to get one of these at a good price? They're showing $175 on their website which seems high in the current market.

    Not that I know of. I picked up my pair back during the last panic when they had their little contest or whatever on Facebook, sorry.
