Ar question?

(1/5) > >>

jdb:
I'm going to pick up a lower and wondering are they all created equal? What should I avoid?

carpsniperg2:
Pretty much all forged lowers are created equal with just different names on them. If you are going billet then you get into some difference and higher quality machining.

huntandjeep:
Yeap , there's only like 5 AR foundries in the US that make the raw forged lowers than the  " end Maker " finishes them ,  so pick the roll mark you like the best.
LMT forges lowers for Knights Armament , Barret ,Bushmaster, Armalite and others
CMT for Stag, Noveske, S&W , Rock River , and Colt .
LAR Manufacturing / DPMS , CMMG , Spikes Double Star.
Mega Machine / Alexander arms , Mega , POF


When you get into the billet sets they are machined in house most of the times.

jdb:
Ok next question, it seems like all the uppers in seeing are more than entire rifle? What am I missing here?

What uppers are you looking at ? Again its all about the name associated with the upper. A complete PSA upper is going to cost alot less than say a Noveske , Larue , Daniel Defense etc. The latter are going to use known quality parts.
You can almost always build a nice upper with quality parts cheaper than buying one already built
