I really want a piston AR-15, but they are mucho expensive. So I think I will Get a DI AR and then switch out the upper reciever later down the road when I save up money.
I know most of the technology and quality differences between brands are in the upper recievers, such as the barrel, bolt, all that stuff. But what about lowers? Would a lower from a Bushmaster or M&P be of similar quality to a lower from Colt or Noveske or other super high end brand? After all, it's just an annodized aluminum part. I'm specificially talking about this one part, not the buttstock or grip or other easily replaceable part.
So, for just the serialized stripped lower... are all brand's quality the same?
