Best AR lower for the money?
Best deals I'm finding (dollar wise) at the moment are a DPMS striped lower for $115, DTI for $120, or YHM for $120? Any recommendations? I'd keep shopping around but I'm chasing myself in circles and getting impatient...

Re: Best AR lower for the money?
My most recent AR-15 was built on an LRB Arms lower receiver from Widener's (linked here). It's a top-notch receiver (especially for $79) and I like the crossed cannon logo and "U.S. RIFLE" marking. My total cost with shipping and transfer fees was about $110.

By the way, just got off the phone with Brownells. The Spikes stripped lower is expected to be back in stock at Brownells at the end of Feb.

No one should be waiting for AR lowers to come back in-stock in this market unless it's something super cheap or super rare. Good sub-$100 lowers are plentiful.

Re: Best AR lower for the money?
LRB all the way, Larry used to be my Neighbor when i lived on Long Island, a quality product at a reaSOnable price, and to answer your question LRB lowers are a direct copy of a Bushmaster lower , and yes they are Milspec, any Milaspec parts kit will slip right on in , unlike most Colt's with thier unusual Pin sizes .
I find the finishes on the LRB to tougher than the finish on the Bushy.

Re: Best AR lower for the money?
Well, it's a 7075-T6 aluminum forging, type III anodized, and a quality lower parts kit fit great in it. I put a 20" BCM government profile upper receiver on it.
As long as you buy a lower receiver from a reputable manufacturer, it'll be as close to mil-spec as you can get. You cannot buy a "truly mil-spec" lower receiver (at least not one that's been manufactured after 1986.) LRB Arms is new to the AR-15 game but they're well known in the M14/M1A community for their top-of-the-line M14 receivers, and they stand behind their products.
