Almost perfect

I have purchased 2 of these lowers at this point. The lower is nice with the exception of the very stiff and downright uncomfortable retro safety selector lever. I have put standard AR-15 safety selector levers in both my lowers because they are easy to manipulate and they just feel better. Aside from this small issue the lowers are great.

Quality is Excellent - But...

The receiver machining and finish are excellent. The fit with the BRN-10 upper receiver is very tight. Mag well is a little snug with the after-market mags that I have, but OK. I have not found a Brownells or DPMS mag yet. Would have given the kit 5 stars, but it did not include the buffer retainer or spring. I had to make a separate order for those, Not in my DPMS pins kit or DPMS spring kit that I keep for spares either.
