| Hi everyone, new member here but long time lurker. I'm planning to start my first build, and I'm stumped on what stripped lower receiver to get. I would like to spend under $120 so with that in mind what lower would provide me the best value for the money. |

Inexpensive stripped lowers can be a little hard to find right now. PSA has some assembled lowers: http://palmettostatearmory.com/ar-15-05/lowers.html Unless you really want to assemble your own, these are pretty good deals when you consider the total cost of a lower, an LPK, and a stock. |

I agree with the above poster, but to answer your question:
Specs for lowers are widely known and many different manufacturers source their lowers from the same places. The only brand that I say *might* be iffy is anderson; I've had a couple with tight takedown holes and tight magwells, but still functional. But besides that you shouldn't need to worry about quality too much. Aero, spikes, bushmaster, etc. The'll all be totally fine. |

Here is the thread to help you find in stock lowers. |

Aero still has them, they are great lowers. They cost $90 but you may be able to find them somewhere else cheaper. Link to Aero Precision Lowers:

I would shop locally for a couple of smaller manufactures. For example, Spikes is down the road from me and luckily I walked out with a lower. Tactical Machining is another. I can buy direct, inspect in person and avoid FFL transfer fees.
If not possible, locate a reasonable FFL. Keep an eye out for PSA Daily Deals, hard to pass up. Rainer Arms also have stripped lowers for $120 or so shipped with APEX. |
