what's the different between good quilty lower? sometimes lower can cost double or more ? i use stag because is cheaper to get and i have no problem with it!
i'm going to start my new build, so should i stick with my stag or try some nice one( in my city is not easy to get it online and ship to FFL, the FFL charge a lot for doing that?) 
what do you get by paying more: (i copy this lower list from other post) LMT Lauer DS Arms PWA Eagle Armalite Knights Armament Barrett Continental Machine Tool Stag Rock River Arms High Standard Noveske Century (New) Global Tactical CLE S&W MGI Wilson Tactical Grenadier Precision Colt LAR Manufacturing LAR Bushmaster Ameetec DPMS CMMG Double Star Fulton Armory Spike's Tactical JVP Double Star LRB Mega Machine Shop Mega GSE Dalphon POF Alexander Arms Olympic Olympic SGW Tromix Palmetto Dalphon Frankford Century (Old) Sun Devil Sun Devil forged billet receivers Superior Superior Arms |

For the most part and with few exceptions, forged lowers are generally very similar, the biggest difference being the rollmark. The ones to keep away from are Vulcan, Hesse, and Blackthorne.
Some lowers are machined for full-auto parts, but this is not an issue for 99.99% of people. Also, some Colt lowers are "large pin". This doesn't affect function, but it can limit parts availability. Stag makes good lowers, I have one myself. I also have some Spike's Tactical and Essential Arms lowers. |

NoDak Spud is a good one for retro freaks. These are all I buy.

I've used three Essential Arms lowers, all went together great. All mags drop free (DPMS LPKs)
The finish on these lowers, tough coat, seemed to me to be the best. I used one Superior lower, went together fine, tight mag well. Magpul mags don't drop free (DPMS LPK) I used one Aero Precision lower, was a little more difficult to assemble than the rest. All mags drop free (DPMS LPK) |
