Help me decide which lower to buy (sharps vs aero precision vs spikes tactical)

[pandemic]

I'm caught between three lowers. There's a shARps lower for $55+$20 shipping and there's an Aero Precision lower for $80+$15 shipping.

I want to buy a budget lower. By budget I mean as cheap as possible without suffering from an inferior product.
$75 for a shARps lower (http://www.rguns.net/rifles/rifles-s...d.shtml#SHARPS)


or

$95 for an Aero Precision (https://surplusammo.com/index.php?ma...7d9af7b4e92e76).


OR

Spikes Tactical lower for $100.50 (including shipping) from (http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=5...Lower_Receiver) *thanks Legion Prime



What would you buy and why? I'd like to keep it under about $100.

or, if you know of a better deal, let me know.

Thanks!

I'd stay away from the Sharps, they are on closeout because they are out of spec. The mag release hole is out of spec and there have been some reported issues with them. Here is a link which has pics which show it being machined crooked.

I'd recommend a Spike's lower from Brownell's @ $89 if you're on a budget. They are not only advertised as MilSpec but they are actually manufactured to be as well! What a concept right?

Thanks for the info and thanks for making my decision even harder

I don't actually see what you mean from the pictures of the sharps lower being crooked?

[Legion_Prime]

Take a look at the hole for the mag release, you can see that the bottom of the hole is further forward than the top of the hole. It's a little difficult to see in the pictures but it's there and I've heard that it has caused problems for some people. Personally I'd want a lower that is machined properly, and if you're going to sell something that is out of spec do not call it a close out while still claiming that they are MilSpec.

You're right. It's easier to see here:

Do you know where I could get a stag for under $100?

Shiite... Those are good prices.

Just stopped by 2 storefront retailers, one had a DPMS lower for $150.00 and another had an "AE" for $120.00. Can't find diddly about Ardel Engineering anywhere.
