Better than expected
Very clean finish. Everything fit perfectly. Was not expecting the tension screw in a lower of this price range.

A bargain, at twice the price
To be honest, I bought these based mostly on price. I've never bought an expensive "Gucci" lower, always content with more rack-grade parts. But these are NICE. Engraving and finish are second to none. Do not hesitate!

Everything Fits
Seems to be a very well made product. I attached an Aero Precision upper to this lower and put an Aero Precision lower parts in this lower. All parts fit snug and perfect. Barrel and buffer tube also attached perfectly.

Great value
This company is local to me and as a supporter of local businesses I purchased this lower. The overall finish is great! Did not have any issues putting it together and shot flawlessly when taken to the range. Other reviews mention minor issues, however that was not my experience. I have since purchased two more lowers with threaded bolt catch pins.

Awesome product
I just got two of these and both went together tight and flawlessly.

Excellent for my first AR build
Bought this along with a complete lower parts kit for my first AR build. Everything went together perfectly and relatively easy. I had no milling issues like other reviewers had. I would buy this again and I would recommend it! Excellent lower for the price. Thicker than my Del-Ton factory built lower.
