    There's an old timer who used to be around here who always said.... "don't trust anyone who has a last name that ends with "i" or "o".

    Many brands get their lowers from the same source. Not sure how accurate this is currently, but it gives you an idea:

    Lewis Machine & Tool
    LMT
    Lauer
    DS Arms
    PWA
    Eagle
    Armalite
    Knights Armament
    Barrett
    Continental Machine Tool
    Stag
    Rock River Arms
    High Standard
    Noveske
    Century (New)
    Global Tactical
    CLE
    S&W
    MGI
    Wilson Tactical
    Grenadier Precision
    Colt
    LAR Manufacturing
    LAR
    Bushmaster
    Ameetec
    DPMS
    CMMG
    Double Star
    Fulton Armory
    Spike's Tactical
    JVP
    Double Star
    LRB
    Mega Machine Shop
    Mega
    GSE
    Dalphon
    POF
    Alexander Arms
    Olympic
    Olympic
    SGW
    Tromix
    Palmetto
    Dalphon
    Frankford
    Century (Old)
    Sun Devil
    Sun Devil forged billet receivers
    Superior
    Superior Arms

    there are a few others not listed.

    That list has errors in it. Please do not post it again.

    Colt makes most of their own lowers, if not all.

    This implies Colt is on the same level as all other aftermarket brands and is misleading.

    So you don't really know? Even if they make MOST of their lowers, maybe the list is correct.

    Yes, Sir! I'll be sure to ask your permission before I post ever again... Well, starting after this post.

    You cannot win this argument.

    If you look at a Colt lower next to others, you can easily see the tool marks are not even close to the same as the others.

    I said "most" because I don't have the ability to keep track of their day to day production and suppliers. I said "most" so someone can't pin me down.
