Seems wayyy too cheap even considering the current slowdown in demand for AR lowers.
I would have to wonder why the closeout price, and why the closeout period, something not quite kosher with them?

They might be perfectly fine lowers, I have never heard of them.

Keep in mind, if you are not an FFL, that $55 will probably be more like $100 after shipping, dealer fees, PICS and sales tax. If the price is going to hit $100, I'd go the extra $30 or so for a known manufacturer that a local dealer already has in stock.

Just my .02

Unless you count Noveske throwing in stripped lowers with the purchase of $1200+ uppers, I've never seen a lower sell that cheap.

I also think this smells fishy.

could be a bunch of seconds.....ive seen refin/refurb lowers sell this cheap, and they werent listed as seconds, but if you looked at the pics closely you could see blemishes.

I've purchased from Rguns before, and while their shipping was outrageous ($15 for 3 LPK's in a small box sent via UPS) it was a fine experience.

As long as these lowers are in-spec, they'll be fine.
There are only a few actual manufacturers of lower receivers and they just get roll marked with a different brand name in the end.

These may be made in the same factory as Stag, DPMS or Bushmaster, who knows?
For $55, you should buy 3 to even out the S/H and FFL fees.
Hell, I'd buy one if I needed another lower.

If you're scared, spend $99 (1 penny shipping) and get a CMMG lower from AIM.

Good luck in whatever you decide.
