Who makes the absolute best AR lowers?

[NWSharpshooter]

I like the crazy little atheist medic as well.

Dude, those aren't broken lowers. Those are the takedown models!

Magpul makes lowers?

 

[Echo 1]

Sun Devil makes a nice lower good machining and it has a set screw built in lower to tighten up slop between upper.

Magpul makes lowers?

They made one in the past. They pop up on gun broker every once in a while. They are billet and if you want one you better get your checkbook ready.

Yep, they make a pretty nice lower. I'd rather put the $$$ where it could do some good though. They sure are purdy though.

Now PSA on the other hand makes an amazing product at an amazing price. If I were to go out and buy a new AR15 tomorrow, I would choose from the following five companies, in the following order.

Colt
Bravo Company Manufacturing
Lewis Machine and Tool
Daniel Defense
Palmetto State Armory

a Palmetto State Armory lowers are good to go. Even better with a CMMG LPK in them.
