Is that Anderson lower really going to be that much worse to be a old Civic compared to a Ferarri.
it's in the eye of the beholder. the PSA lower i have... i can tell there are some weird things about it. like one of the walls was made a bit more narrow than most i've seen at the magwell. that's just one instance i've found. i'm sure i could find more if i look hard enough.
but at the end of the day, the lower can receive the same aftermarket parts that a Colt, Daniel, LMT, BCM, etc. will take within a milspec style receiver.
if you can save money on a lower of your choice and put the savings in the upper or ammo, then you should be good to go.

No. Lowers are either in spec or not, they work or they don't. People have carved lowers out of wood, printed them on cheap home 3D printing machines, etc.

Anyone have any experience with the Griffin Armament MK2 rifles? Interested in maybe picking one up with a 14.5” barrel and have them pin and weld a mount on it for me. In my experience they make good equipment, just don’t have any experience with their rifles. Wondering how accurate they are and how much gas to the face you get when shooting suppressed.

So I'm about ready to make a decision an the optic for my 300 blk sbr build. Outside of just a fun range toy, this will be a home defense rifle. Current plan is the Eotech EXPS2-2. Not pinching pennies on this one. What are the boards thoughts compared to say an Aimpoint red dot. I'm interested in the Holographic for the field of view and just to try out the tech.

i put a basic Sig Romeo 5 on mine. it actually has shake-awake. works for me. also has the Sig Juliet 3x on it.
that maginifier is so i can see the target hits at 25yds at the range.

I just put my binoculars in my range bag because I'm tired of pulling the target in every 5 rounds

I have an eotech on one and an aimpoint on another.
I prefer the aimpoint because I have an astigmatism and the eotech is not clear.

Question from ignorance - the magnifier, other than obviously making bigger, does it offer an easier or better eye relief? Easier to get a full view without being in that perfect spot?

If you get a decent one yes. You don’t have to spend $500 but the Sig Joliet and Vortex Micro 3X are good to go.
I have an Sig Joliet with a Holosun HE515CT setup on my 300BO and I get a good field of view at 100 yds. I love the unity tactical mounts. The mag mount is a game changer.
I have another 300BO SBR with a Leupold VXR 1.25-4 patrol on it. I think I like the Holosun and mag setup better.

Personal preference, but most people are faster with an Eotech. There's a reason Holosun and others eventually started offering the circle-dot as an option.
But as someone else said, eyes/astigmatism matter. Some red dots are clear to me, some aren't, and the Eotech is. If you can, look through both options before you buy.

I didn’t care for my eotec when I had it because I found it to be blurry. I run mostly holosons now. I like the 510s but that might be concidered more range toy than HD I did just grab a used 530 to try out since it’s a 30mm tube. I don’t care for the 20s.

If you have an astigmatism, the answer isn't red dot or holo. It's Microprism from Primary Arms. I'm telling yall, it's the truth. I have TERRIBLE eye sight with a rather awful astigmatism in my dominant eye. I used a red dot for home defense because it's close engagements. But anything over 25 yards, it's Microprism. Don't sleep on the 3 or 5x. That no mount that allows a red dot on top is awesome too.

Don't have astigmatism and have a Holosun EPS carry on my EDC. Ordered the Eotech thru Amazon to try it out and free returns with prime. We'll see. I've heard the hologram will always be a bit litigated compared to a standard red dot. But the plus is that thru a magnifier, the dot stays 1 moa vs a red dot magnifying. Won't need that on this gun, but if it ever moves to a different rifle, that'll be nice.

somebody on reddit actually did it... but you can see the difference in lower quality, if you want to call it that...

who's fault is this? DD? PSA? the forging company? i genuinely don't know. some folks are anal about body lines lining up accurately.

Neither. That part on the DD is just slightly wider than PSA.
That doesn't mean that they both are within spec.
Those that are anal are just that. Doesn't mean that they have any idea what they are talking about though.
I have a brass catcher that fits around the mag well on an AR. It will not fit on my Radian's as the mag well is wider and thicker that a standard magwell.
Think that means the radians are worse guns?
