It can be made of crappy material<br />2. The machining can be done out-of-spec (wrong size or mis-aligned holes, etc)<br />3. It can be poorly finished<br /><br />#1 should be OK in this case if the receivers are truly forged aluminum, as the site claims.<br /><br />#2 makes an un-usable product, so the manufacturers either get this right most of the time, or quit selling lowers.<br /><br />#3 can be easily remedied by the end user, and maybe you don't care anyway.<br /><br />By far the most important parts to be discerning about are what goes <i> in </i> the lower: A good forged mil-spec receiver extension, a quality lower parts kit, and a quality upper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-8313990575076206152009-10-20T11:11:10.785-05:002009-10-20T11:11:10.785-05:00I have never used their products, but I have read ...I have never used their products, but I have read this:<br /><br />http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=464847Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
