I would love some help picking my first lower to go under a VIS 2A or VIS 3, what would you
guys and gals out there suggest?  Either Billet or forged, top notch quality, preferably
stripped, what should I get?...

Thank you for the help.

If it were me I'd go with a billet lower since you're running a billet upper, but it makes no difference as far as function. Many people are running billet uppers on forged lowers, and I'm sure there are a lot of guys running forged uppers on billet lowers. If you want a great quality stripped billet lower, check out the Sun Devil Mfg lowers here.

Thanks but I am partial to the filled in white x bullet (safe) filled in red bullet (semi) filled in red multi bullet (auto)
I know that i dont need it but i like the visual better...

Well it's a good thing you aren't being picky. Good luck on that one.

How about a POF billet lower.  That would go good with a VIS upper.  I think they have the HK style pictograms on them.

How about a Magpul billet lower if you're lucky enough to get one.

I don't think the production Magpul lower will have painted selector markings, who knows though. The OP was very specific about what they are looking for, I don't know why you'd want full-auto selector markings on a semi-auto rifle anyway.

I don't know I'm just crazy i would get one without the bullet style if the quality was
better and or the price was right.

I do believe that I would be willing to pay much much more for one of those but I dont think
that they will actually produce them in any mentionable quantity... well actually one is
mentionable with how sweet they look but I mean mentionable as in me being able to get
my hands on one...

I'd check out the POF lower that was mentioned earlier, it seems to have the selector markings that you're looking for but they are considerably more expensive than the Sun Devil.

Here you go - POF Lower with FA markings and a VIS Upper.



I think this is really the only option for the criteria you specified.  The reciever is only $215 so thats not really that bad.  Considering I pay upwards of $500 for prebans in CT that are in used condition.  If I lived in a free state I wold split my lowers between LMT defenders and POF Gen IIIs.
