    No issues with G3 PMAGs dropping free from my [stripped] KAC lower, now used as my MK12 Mod1, definitely no issued with my SR-15.

    $200 for BCM doesn’t compare favorably to $125 for a SOLGW for me. It’s really cool that they mark the stripped lowers differently, however I’m willing to bet they’re not the only manufacturer that does that either.

    I love my BCM lower; it was $330 for a complete, and it drops PMAGs just fine. No way I’d pay $200 for a lower from any brand when I can get a high quality lower + LPK from Sons or Sionics for nearly the same price.

    These are my go-to's any more: https://alexprofab.com/product/ar-15-lower-receiver/

    Five that were bought this year and replaced? Or five that were replaced this year but were bought earlier?

    No, that's it. I haven't had any problems with them.

    ETA: I have an Aero M4E1 and like it just fine also - forged but looks kind of billet.
