AR-15, lower receiver

[swampcedars]

I have found a couple of dealers that have the stripped lower's in stock for a fair price...Has anyone out there seen any manufacturer's to stay away from...from what I have inspected they look very good and I am going to pick up my 3...just curious to see what experience some of you may have had. Thanks.

There is a ton of information here.

Good luck getting the parts to complete them, hopefully your not in a hurry. It will free up eventually, just not for a while in my opinion.

Hesse or whatever they have changed the name too now. Run, don't walk, run away.

Olympic is another to shy away from.

What's the deal with Olympic?

Late last year, I bought what I call my "Obama Special", an Olympic Arms A-1-sighted CAR-15 for a truck rifle. After the initial barrel break-in period, it's been one of my more accurate AR's, especially for a CAR.

I'd hate to have a Colt M-4 bangin' around in the truck, especially for that $1600+ price tag. I wanted to have a rifle with me these days 24/7, and at the $675 price tag, I took a shot with it. Guess I got a good one. ;D

Got it.

The build kit I wanted came in yesterday and the lower receiver was here last week. Some places were out of stock other's were fine. I went through ShotGun News and found what I wanted and talked to people that had ordered before then just placed the order...yeah, some places were out 6-8 months, but other's were fine...based on what I what I found, there is more hype than reality which is pushing prices up.
