$39.00 are what they are worth especially for Commiepornia. What kind of commiepornia AR bastardization you planning on building?

Anderson’s are fine. I’ve built 5 or 6 and no problems at all.

Built multiple ARs on Anderson lowers, have not had any issues.

I bought an built 2 or 3 Anderson receivers up completely with no problems. Several takedown pin holes were tight, but that was all.

Anderson lowers are good to go.

Their are only a very few AR lower manufactures in the U.S. of which Anderson is one of. Never heard of a problem with them their A+ good to go.
Want to start a company building them? Have a few million $$ to start.

The AR I had built for me, has an Anderson Lower. Haven't had any issues with it. I think I paid $139 for it. It's a complete lower.

As already stated, nothing wrong with an Anderson.

Sadly, on some 'forums/social media' sites, only us 'poors' buy Anderson lowers........ I like a quality 'tool' but, I refuse to pay inflated prices for something that works.

That is because the idiots don't know what their buying. In 6 or 7 yrs I have had one problem with a receiver from tactical. Receiver mag well was to tight. Went back they took it out of my hands paperwork for the exchange and done in about 10 minutes.
Let them nay sayers buy from the big boys at double the price. Guess who is selling them the inflated price receivers?

A lot of those people that would say you're a "poor" because you use Anderson lowers, probably don't have even that. Personally, it doesn't bother me and I use Anderson lowers with great success. I've never had a problem with them.

I have had anderson lowers that built up OK .....and some...two or three... I had to send THOSE back for a refund. They were so far out of spec...they were non functional for building and I damn sure was NOT going to sell someone a reject AR15 receiver. I purchase twenty of them on sale, and they all looked just fine...But a couple...

THAT... was ten or so, years ago....

I dont like build problems. TIME is money. I buy a new part...I want a new part with good tolerances. I would never buy them again though. That was some years ago. They prob have their CNC bugs worked out now.

I like bushmaster...armalite...spikes...palmetos... never a problem. Always in spec.

Anderson's are fine. They make the best 80% receivers too.
