Buy at your own risk!
Just like the reviewer above, same issue. I bought this lower and didn't have any issue until I tried a magpul gen 3 magazine in it. The magazine follower would override bolt catch and wouldn't properly connect with the follower. I tried several bolt catches to make sure it wasn't a bolt catch issue. I bought more magazines in case it was a magazine issue. I also tried the same mags in four other lowers and they all worked without issue. Buy at your own risk!!! Its got cool features, but id rather have a reliable lower like Anderson. And if you get a lower like this, Aero Precision will not replace it. Its the magazines fault. So you're stuck with an out of spec lower.

AVOID! Out of Spec Lowers
Not sure what is going on with Aero, but in the last 2 weeks I have received 4 out of spec Gen 2 lowers. Bolt catch channel and area around it is milled incorrectly and noticeably thicker than other known good lowers. This was verified by a gunsmith at my FFL dealer. Magazine follower would override bolt catch with multiple known good magazines. We also tried several different bolt catches to make sure it wasn't a parts issue. I received 2 bad lowers, exchanged them, and the 2 new lowers were also bad. So far I have wasted 2 weeks, time, money and a lot of frustration on these lowers. Really wish I had purchased another brand. Aero lowers used to be great but apparently that has changed.

Not up to spec
Like a previous reviewer has stated, my lower is too narrow (.860) compared to spec of .880, which causes the safety selector to stick way out on the left side. I wonder if brownells will help me get a new lower from Aero?
