Anderson Mfg hits the big time

To add to the body of knowledge and experience here, we have one in the stable built on an Anderson lower (see what I did there) and it's always run like a sewing machine.

I purchased one the Anderson stripped lowers from Primary Arms for $29. It gauged out fine and the ano/finish looks good.

I recently took an Anderson lower, installed Pin gauges in all 6 holes and matched it up to a Colt lower and all 6 pins went perfectly in, so basically they were pinned together. All 6 holes drilled in exact locations. That was just 1 test I did. With tight fitting pin gauges of different sizes and all 6 matching exactly I was surprised to be honest how the 2 lowers slid together with no binding.

I bought a couple of "pistol" lowers from Aero when lowers where unobtainable. Still sitting in a the boxes. How does the Aero lowers hold up compared to other low end gear?

Ive had good luck with the 2 or 3 that Ive had before. I dont think I have them anymore though.

I did have bad luck with Anderson lowers before. That was during the timeframe that a previous poster said they were known to have issues. IraqGunz was able to do his magic and get them up and running. He then verbally bullied me until I got rid of them. HAHAHA.

The last few cheap lowers Ive bought have been from PSA and they've been fine.

Pappa, I ran into an Aero lower that had improperly drilled hammer pin holes (as I recall). The hammer wouldn’t freely rotate. Aero sent me a new lower. Overall, they have been considered a step above Anderson and PSA. That said, my PSA SBR still runs, and the most accurate rifle in a class over the weekend was built on an Anderson lower.

Isn't Aero the OEM for a bunch of different manufacturers lowers, including PSA?
