What's the best equipment out of these brands for the money? I'd like a good cost affordable fitting lower and upper.

That is the paradox our founders appreciated and made work for over 200 years."

are you talking stripped receivers? whatever's cheap.. of those you listed, you'll find a price spread of over $75, depending where you shop.
these are the uppers i buy: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Upper...%20-m4%203.htm
and i just shop gunbroker for cheap lowers, or grab them when on sale elsewhere. brand doesn't matter, just pick the rollmark you like best. i hate animals, myself. stay away from vulcan.
ETA: for future reference, a topic like this should go under "AR General," not technical. technical discussions involve techniques, specs, etc... technical things.

Sorry about the wrong forum post. Yep I'm talking a stripped upper I'm going to build up myself and a stripped or possibly assembled lower depending on how much money I can save.
I was looking at the one a while back on BCM same as your link but it's been out of stock for a while. With it not being BCM branded I'm not sure about it. Their factory lowers look good but I don't see a stripped lower of theirs.

for what it's worth, i've built about 10 uppers off the upper i posted above. they're perfectly good uppers.
the laser t-marked versions are available right now.. only difference is the T-marks are white and anodize-thick, instead of machined into the metal. otherwise identical.
Any of those would be ok for a lower. As for an upper, i'd look elsewhere.

DD is good stuff. Look at LMT or bcm. Also, this topic has been extensively covered, my man. Dig up some old threads and read. The mfgs you listed are generally thought of as sub standard.

sqwerl,
Buy a Daniel Defense barrel from BCM and one of their M4 upper receivers. Get an armorer wrench and slap it together. That will cost you roughly 330.00 with barrel nut, slip ring and gas tube. Then you can go from there. I purchased a stripped DD lower from Grant a while back for about 119.00 and it is an excellent lower to use for a build. It also has a nice flared magazine well.

Like iraqgunz, I love dd lowers. The flared magwell is nice and (if you're into cosmetics) the finish is top notch.
