I have a billet lower, will there be any issues using a forged upper?

Never mind, I found the answer. I guess it doesn't matter too much.

Just to confirm, yes, it’s not a problem at all other than some potential cosmetic mismatches.

I built both of my boy’s during the covid shortage and used billet receivers made by a local machine shop when they didn’t have other work.

The uppers are forged Anderson, and the rest of the parts are a mix of quality parts. Both rifles run like scalded dogs.

Good to know, mine is a Gen III Noveske billet lower that I hope to go with a forged Noveske Chainsaw irregular defense upper. I've heard that Billet receivers might have tighter tolerances than forged receivers.
