A lower is a lower, people get confused and think a brand name lower is better than a no name lower.


All lowers are not created equal. I've seen some that leave gaps and some that need a hammer to get the upper off.

None of those were DD, LWRC, etc.


Lately I've seen just as much hate for people with high end rifles as low end rifles. Some people like driving a Mercedes over a Hyundai, why does that bother people??

Than that lower was out of spec, it happens. I have a lower that is in spec, but an upper from a big brand name had to hammered off of it. I ordered another big name upper and destroyed that POS big name brand upper for wasting my time. An AR was designed for combat, its spec allows for a certain amount of slop. A sloppy AR may shoot better than a tight fit ar, the accuracy is in the shooter and barrel. It has nothing to do with sloppy upper/lower fit.

I dont own any Hyundais when it comes to rifles. It just pains me to watch people buy $300+ lowers because they think they are better. Id rather help them spend $300 more on a Krieger barrel for that AR and shoot circles around people that spend $300+ for a lower.

But thats me, keep buying those expensive lowers. They sure do look cool.
