    They might but I couldn't make out any of the other tags from my pic, I'm going this weekend to look at what they currently have.

    This is the shop that I actually bought a complete BCM lower from, so they might have the stripped as well.

    Not a lefty, but I'll install a Phase 5 ambi bolt catch anyways. I have one on my BCM and so far it's working very well for me.

    ADM. I like their implementation of an ambi bolt hold open/release the best.

    Noveske Gen 2. Way better quality than my KAC lowers.

    Ever had any issues with mags not dropping from your gen II? I've read a couple older post from a few years ago complaining that the Gen II'S don't work well with all mags.

    Stripped lower for your next build, what would you really want/

    I own 3 of the 6 on your list. So with that in mind, based on your list I would buy in preference:

    1. Noveske Gen 1
    Gen 1 because I use Redi-Mags on all my SBR's per build SOP. And because the one Noveske lower I do own was as close to "perfect" as I've ever seen.

    2. Aero
    Because 12 builds using Aero lowers and I have never once even had to email them about a spec tolerance issue or a finish issue. Furthermore the finish on my lowers have been consistent across the board.


    I won't buy another KAC stripped lower. Period. I've had 2, with 1 currently in the stable.

    I've never owned the other 3.

    Not on your list and also never owned by me:
    (But what I wouldn't mind owning/building out)

    1. LaRue
    2. Vltor (because I have a Vltor MUR-1A upper and it would be cool to pin a Vltor lower to it.

    The one thing that I really want more than anything is a AR15 lower just marked as AR15. No, A2, A3,Carbine, Law enforcement, Sporter, or anything. I know this exists for Colt SP1's, but I really wish there was a version that had correct front take down pin, and trigger pin holes.

    Agreed. Own both, Noveske Gen 2 all the way for me. For something inexpensive Mega forged is a winner. If ambi were something I cared about, a Mega billet would be under consideration,
