I've got a DS lower, no problems with it.
10/19/2009 12:47:34 PM EDT
[#11]
I had one for about a year now... Never had any troubles... Put probably around 1000 rounds through it, from Hornady TAP to nasty Wolf stuff without a hiccup. I would reccomend it any day, the best bang for your buck.

There are currently FOUR manufacturers that produce the majority of lower receivers for the AR market. MMS, CMT, LMT and LAR receive orders from many licensed manufacturers who obtain an ATF variance to have them cut and logo receivers on their behalf. JVP and Superior Arms cut for a couple of different companies.

LMT = LMT, Lauer(old), DS Arms, PWA, Eagle, Knights Armament, Barrett, Bushmaster (?)
CMT = Stag, RRA, High Standard, Noveske (old), Century (current), Global Tactical, CLE, S&W, MGI (1st batch), Wilson Tactical, (some?) Colt, Ratworx
LAR = Grizzly, Bushmaster (L Prefix), Ameetech, (?)DPMS, CMMG, Double Star, Fulton, Spike's Tactical, Noveske (new)
MMS = Mega, Gunsmoke, Dalphon, POF (forged), Alexander Arms, Stinger, Spike's Tactical(old)
JVP = Double Star, LRB

Olympic = Olypmic, SGW, Tromix, Palmetto, Dalphon, Frankford, (old) Century
Superior = Superior Arms, Lauer (current)
Grenadier Precision
Sabre Defence (?)

There are also a number of custom cut billet lower receivers:

I bought mine back in May 2005; it was the first affordable classic AR15 I could find with no ban features after the ban.  That was back when I carried a M16A2, so I wanted my first AR to emulate that.  I really enjoy the trigger; it shoots very well and is every bit as accurate as I am (I shoot expert on M16/M4).  It's not high mileage - maybe 3,000 rounds -  and runs great.  The only thing I might change would be a narrower sight post for longer distance shots, but that's a small tweak.  Here's a pic I have with a H&K mag and my YHM .30 Cal Phantom.

Don't forget my favorite:  Kaiser Defense.  They were making lowers for Spike's and some other companies.  They just started making .308 lowers...

you happen to remember what they call that type sling, or who makes them?

Sling school for the dummy!

I had three of their lowers and the finish was excellent, but the upper/lower fit was loose. I sold all of them at a loss to replace them with another companies lowers. TM. I'm sure their rifles are fine and they seem to be quite economical.

Can you order off of their site or through dealers? Only saw compete rifles on their site?

wrong on a few aacounts there. KAC makes their own,   as evidenced  by Trey Knight  standing in front of the machine making them in a pic he posted on arfcom,

and CMT doesnt make colts parts. colt makes colts parts.    unless you want to argue CMT moved to canada and makes  colt canada lowers.    and  also the numerous people on this forum tha have toured   the colt plant and seen for themself
