Recently visited a gunshop and saw a DPMS lower hanging on the wall with a price tag on it of $135.00.
Are these good recievers and a decent price?
Thanks

There really isn't much to make one lower better than another. If you don't hate the way it looks its fine. $135 isn't a bad price in this market.

CURRENT DPMS lowers are ok.  Earlier ones ain't necessrily so hot..

The first one I got about 5 years ago had the front slot for the upper tab off center, so the upper tilted to the left when assembled. The fimish was also mottlerd.

The second one, bought two years later, had the most horrible forge lines I've ever seen, and I only bought it because I was going to convert it to A1 profile, so I filed down the  forge lines along w/the  other mods I was doing.

To be fair though, the DPMS units I;ve seen lately have looked good and I would have bought one, if I was in the marlet.  So my attitude is, if you can examine the piece, and it looks good, go ahead. I still wouldn't mail order one ,though.

I have 2 that I bought at a gun  show for 130 each about 2 1/2 years ago. Everything went together really smoothly when I finished them.

A lower is a lower, as  long as everything is in the right spot.

I bought 4 last year for $120, built 2 and kept 2 stripped. No problemos!

That is a good deal in this market for sure.  I just got one at a gun show and assembled the lower with ease.  I used all DPMS parts and they all dropped in without a hassle.

If you found one for $135, try to buy 5 of them...
