I thought it might have been a backwards bullet kind of thing. Other than that, the three look pretty good, especially the AP IMO. I have a couple of lowers that have the flash or whatever on the radius above the pistol grip, but mine isn't smoothed at all. It doesn't effect function at all, and I often wear gloves in extended sessions, so it doesn't really bother me. Although, I have thought about trying a MOE to cover it.
Yeah, I had forgotten about that as the grip cover it up.
I like the MOE/MAID grips as well as the Ergo grips, the TG Battle grip just don't feel right to me.
While I haven't used a MOE, I have a MIAD and it's a bit big for my liking. I ended up installing A1 grips on my newer builds b/c it is IMHO the optimal grip. The MIAD might actually be great if I switch out the large backstrap for the flat one.
I have a little box full of lowers in the safe I've been meaning to do this with as well.
This thread has brought up a question I have wanted to ask for a long time.
Notice how the Colt and Areo Precision lowers have less material on the Receiver Extension ring than the Stag lower.
I have looked at a lot of lowers and many look like the Colt and Areo and many look like the Stag…..often from the same manufacturer. I understand that all manufacturers will use different suppliers for their raw lowers and that there should be very little difference in durability between the two types.
My question is, when the M16A1 lowers were “beefed” up for the M16A2, was the original design like the thinner Colt and Areo or thick like the Stag? Maybe both?
I realize this is a pointless question and that both types of lowers are good enough for my uses, so feel free to ignore this post. I just had to ask because I haven’t been able to find any info via searching.
Thanks
Maybe that the reason right there. But like you say it doesn't really matter. The finish on my Stag is just plain ugly to me. Wish I had another Areo or other lower that has a nicer finish. It dosen't affect function, but if I'm paying good money for it might as well get the one that looks better.
Well, picked up a Mega billet lower and a Spike's Tactical lower. I may add some pics of these when I get a chance, but I will say this they are very nice. The finish on the spike's lower and the Mega lower are about the nicest I have seen.
The Spike's and the Areo Precision lower look an awful lot a like (wink wink).
The BOHICA billet lower is delayed yet again (From June to July... from July to who knows when). I'm hoping to get it in my hands in August or September. I hope it arrives by my birthday in early September.

AIM, Inc. has the AERO Multi-Caliber Lowers on sale for $99.95, and due to this post, I went ahead and bought one. Rojas, If I get one that looks as good as you have I will definetly be happy. I will probably use one of Bill Springfields 4lb triggers in it, as he has did great work for me in the past. I have been tempted to buy a 6.5 Grendle barreled upper offered by Model 1. Anybody have the Model 1 in 6.5??? Have read several posts to use AA 6.5 uppers only, any comments.Don't mean to hijack your thread.
