    Does it matter which lower you use ?

    Does it matter which brand of lower you use as long as it's in spec? I'm kind of having a debate on another thread.
    I say the lower doesn't make any difference in the quality of your build as long as the tolerances are correct.
    Someone else seems to think one brand of lower is better than another.
    Would some experts please clarify this. Real experts.
    and not just your opinion.

    Now now. Be nice to the younglings.

    To quote Sinister, one of the esteemed SME's on this very subject:

    Your concern about the durability and serviceability of your gear is natural -- you don't want to think you got screwed or made a poor choice. Get over it.

    *snip*

    Shoot the damn gun until the parts fail, then replace them. Just like any other military weapon or machine. You'll get better feedback than wondering if it would be nicer with Colt, Gucci, or Versace engraved on it.

    Damn near every gun I own is now a Frankengun. It may have a certain manufacturer's name stamped on the side, but the internals and components are no longer original. I don't own any guns that should be behind glass at the Smithsonian. It may be a character flaw but I'd rather wear them out than let them rust away. They do me no good in the back of the safe.

    No machine is perfect. No machine lasts forever. You should see what our guys do to their issued weapons as soon as they come out of the box, plastic wrapper, and vapor barrier paper.

    *snip*

    You should see the raised eyebrows when folks see the SGW - Olympic Arms engraving on my lower. It just holds the parts.

    Yes, I know. No, I won't tell you.

    i'm trying to say it seems like you have an above average standing anxiety level, from your posts i've seen, and that you might want to try to relax a little. starting a thread like this, especially on a topic that's been really well covered, because one guy rips on your lower, out of another 20 guys who said "nice stick!" is sort of wacky.

    i think you should stop talking about your gun and go shoot it for a while... i got 5 bucks says if you put 1,000 rounds through it in the next couple weeks you'll find a level of satisfaction with your gun and yourself that you're never going to get online, and won't give a flying eff about anyone's opinions of your stick- good or bad.

    just some thoughts from some dude on M4C.. don't read into it too much.

    Guns are happier when it's wet outside.

    Mine talks back if she hasn't gotten muddy in awhile.
