If you are looking to “stock up,” then the answer is all of them. Or whatever you think is “most cool.”

Agreed. What I don't get is the "stock up" for "teir 1" lowers, are you going for quantity and quality? I say this because if you want 2 or 3 good lowers from Radian or Noveske okay you've got some quality stuff, if you are looking for quantity, I would say Aero lowers or BCM. The latter of which seems to be jumping up more and more these days.

Noveske if you want to buy a lifestyle brand and look cool. Radian if you want actual features.

The Noveske is not true ambi, as it lacks a right side bolt lock, and many other lowers offer the same features, just without the Noveske rollmark (KAC IWS, CMT UHP15-SSA, SanTan Tactical STT-15, Spike's Tactical Billet Gen2, Fortis License, etc.). The Radian offers true ambi (much rarer), and has the A-DAC feature, which I personally find extremely nice for admin locking of the bolt and also for clearing malfunctions (it's been super helpful in being able to clear a FTE quickly during force-on-force). Other true ambi lowers include LMT MARS-L, ADM UIC, LWRC, PWS MK1 MOD 2-M, and MVB Industries paired with a Norgon if you really want that ambi mag release (the left side mag release is the feature I use the least and honestly don't care much about, compared to the right side bolt lock and bolt release).

Do you want it for features, resale & value, or cool factor?

Noveske = Resale

Radian = Features

Whatever you like best for coolness factor.

[Hammer_Man]

Agreed with the general consensus, go with Radian if you actually need the ambi features. Personally I’d go LMT MARS-L.

2nd this. This is the lower I would buy

I don't own one single "cool" lower. "cool" by internet h0m0 standards that is.

I'd love to get a BCM lower and one of those Colt US Gov property lowers. The ambi gay stuff isn't my thing though.

Ambi lowers come with a free case of Bud Light.
