Essential Arms ar-15 lower receiverc question

**andrewjs18** · January 7th, 2009, 06:52 PM

Anyone ever use 1?

Is the quality good compared to say..Anvil Arms or others?

Definitely worth the money if the price is right...would you buy 1?

I've read that people were having problems with the coloring on the lower being slightly off, but they offer a service to match up the colors or something along that line for a few bucks. Someone suggested this company to me, but I'm new to both rifles and ARs so I need your guys advice.

Thanks,
Andrew

From everything I've read they're great. Read up on them on ar15.com

If you're worried about color matching, but the set with the matching stripped upper. You certainly can't beat the price and shipping time.

Jon just sent me an email.

I'm going to try 1 more time with him...if all goes well, I'll have an anvil arms lower.

If anyone else is interested in the Essential Arms lower direct from the factory, the prices are a little higher than in the current catalog. They are currently $100 (hard anodized), $105 (tough coat, which I was told was pretty much mandatory to properly match up to other uppers).

Shipping is a stated 7-10 days, maybe earlier if they can.

When I called, I got a message that the mailbox was full. An hour later, they called me even though I didn't leave any message or anything.

(These same exact lowers are on gunbroker now for 150-300... wtf?!)
