    As others have said, it’s hard to beat a complete BCM lower with PNT trigger. Also come with A5 receiver extensions, so all around top option.

    And you can still have money leftover to buy a Geissele trigger (and sell me the PNT).

    So $600.00 for a complete lower? I’d look into Sons of Liberty Gun Works, Sionics, BCM, LMT…. For $600.00 you could probably take home two complete lowers, if you forgo the fancy options.

    This all day! There are obviously exceptions to this, but I’ll wager a “gun mall” is not one of them.

    What is the likelihood of the 'gun mall' having either a BCM or Centurion complete lower?

    I think the OP might be better off ordering online, or, if he doesn't want to go that route, make two trips, one to see what is available, and another to buy the consensus after he reports back.

    Naming brands when we don't know if they are available doesn't do much good. It's far more likely that the complete lowers available will be Aero, Anderson, Spikes, New Frontier Armory, etc.

    Ordering online and getting a Sionics, SOLGW, BCM or other quality item would be the best bet for someone who doesn't want to build their own.

    Complete lower shopping

    OP I too strongly urge you to buy a stripped lower and Colt LPK and assemble yourself. It is a fun learning experience.

    A monkey could assemble a lower and I bet you’re far smarter than a monkey.

    If you are dead set on buying assembled there are good suggestions above.

    Don't even think you can get a Colt stripped lower, and given that might as well go ALL BCM or similar.

    Word of warning, with Pelosi and her stupid ban currently in limbo LOTS of the good stuff is gonna be sold out. Don't compromise and buy Anderson or any other z grade crap. Be willing to pay a little extra for the good stuff.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    I went to a local gun show this passed Sunday. When it came to anything AR related (aside from mags and furniture) everything was a no name, likely bottom of the barrel parts. Plenty of Anderson lowers, and plenty of other stuff I have never even heard of.

    I may be aging myself in regards to pricing, but two years ago I got a full complete BCM lower at Brownells for $450.

    I am betting the "gun mall" isn't going to have what is being recommended here. All the brands recommended are GTG, but can be hard to find stock like BCM. Prob will see a lot of Anderson, Bear Creek, Radical, and if your lucky Aero Precision. Aero is ok, but there are better options

    Your best bet is to buy a striped lower from Centurion Arms, SOLGW, ZEV etc and add a quality lower parts kit

    Primary arms Does have Sionics complete lowers in stock. Code SAVE12 will get 12% off. This one has 2 stage trigger, ambi safety and magpul stock for $436

    No way I would pay that for a complete lower, when you can still get OEM 1 and 2 Colts for 750 to 800 bucks.

    For a while LMT Defender complete lowers were a little-known excellent deal.
    With or without their two stage trigger, which was a very good value as an upgrade.
