what's /k/s opinion on off brand lowers?

1.

Gross fingernail

2.

no one cares about your serial number

kill yourself for making such a shit thread

1. sorry I work for a living
2. people don't care about your opinion on showing seal numbers
3. thanks for not answering my question
>>
>>29421276
All milspec lowers are functionally identical.
>>
>>29421291
Not OP but...
1.

Who cares

2.

why would you willingly post your serial number

kill yourself for shit posting and not contributing to a weapons related thread

>>29421341 do they hold up high round counts the same? and thanks for the answer

>>29421332
If you work for a living you should have a knife to keep your fingernails clean or at at least wash your hands regularly. Stop being a redneck.
>>
>>29421276
They are more than fine, if I plan on making an SBR I'd probably get a fancy meme lower. For the money they are great!
>>
>>29421352
Yup, they work just as good as other expensive lowers.

>>29421355
I bet you have a foot fetish.
>>
>>29421355
meh
>>
>>29421352
Yes. The only real difference is 7075 vs 6061, but even then that isn't measurable unless you abuse your shit. An Anderson will perform as well and last just as long as a Seekins.
>>
>>29421372
glad to hear it any AR parts manufactures I should avoid? I'm looking to build the cheapest AR I can due to being a broke college student

>ask for my opinion

>complain when you're disgusting and show your filthy pasty hand when you could have used a slip of paper or photoshop

>can't into lighting with cameras in 2016

it's a fucking lower you retard, no one wants to jerk you off over your purchase.
>>
>>29421381
I think its worth it to get a nice barrel and trigger. Are you planning on getting a complete upper?

sorry for asking what's probably retarded newfag questions just never built or dealt with ARs before all I know about them are what I learned in the Army through dealing with the A2
>>
>>29421383
Settle down you fucking autist, go back to your arg or /ak/ containment thread you sperglord. The dude is clearly new to ARs and posted a perfectly relevant question on here.

>my opinion
lol, because you are the only person on /k/
>>
>>29421401
I'm planning on getting parts hear and there when ever I can find them cheap so Id say yes if I can find a cheap complete upper other wise Ill get all the parts separate which ever is cheaper
>>
>>29421405
Don't worry, just do research. Google and youtube are your friends. I built my first AR a few years back after watching a few vids, its really easy stuff.
>>
>>29421381
If you want to go cheap, get a complete upper and lower off of PSA. Avoid their PTAC line however, they're notorious for poor quality.

If possible, try to pick ones that already have the features you want. Upgrading parts later gets expensive.

The only parts really worth paying a premium on are the barrel, trigger, and optics. But there's nothing wrong with most choices if they're at least milspec.
>>
>>29421276
as long as they're mil spec or better who gives a shit. nothing more retarded than a guy with a gucci AR shouting about "muh 50 yard 200 yard zero" as they miss a 2 foot wide rifle target they're spending 3 hours "sighting in".

I don't get why people REEEEEEE about the anderson rollmark, it looks fine.

also clean your goddamn fingernails
>I work 4 a living
so do I. I clean my goddamn fingernails because I'm not retarded.

sorry guys I didn't realize /k/ has a hand fetish so I dolled my thumb up for you all

seriously though thanks to everyone who gave me useful info

so not really related but i see the term milspec in here a lot. had a buddy who was all innaarmy for a while and then got discharged for being an autismo fucktard. i mentioned milspec and milsurp being superior in front of him once. he looked at me like i was a complete fucking moron. i was offended by this and asked what his fucking problem was. he pointed out milspec or milsurp means its literally the cheapest that our cheap ass gov could get. just something to think about. any decent aftermarket should be far greated than "military spec" which literally means mass produced with low quality standards. faggots
>>
>>29422860
He's kind of right.
Milspec is the minimum acceptable. Most civilian shit is at least milspec, or better.

I have 2 PSA blem lowers and a PSA AR-10 lower. No difference in functionality, quality, or construction that I could tell compared to a rock river built rifle. I've got 4 Anderson lowers on the way and don't expect problems.

One of the PSA lowers has about 4-5k rounds through it. No problems.

My Anderson has been great. It holds a standard magazine, keeps the trigger group in place, and I haven't broken my handle yet.
>>
>>29421276
I have heard complaints that Anderson uses a non-standard grip screw length. I put a CMMG parts kit in mine and it fit fine. Other than that non-complaint it's great, my uppers all fit much tighter on the Anderson than on my DPMS or Bushie.

I love my Anderson lower. Works just fine, never had any issues with it.
I chose it because of the horse rollmark.
I'm a country and outdoors type so it fit my personality.
Pic related on my horses hay.
>>
>>29426283
this is true, i had to go get a different screw on home depot and it screws fine now. google it if you must
>>
>>29426283
I didn't have that problem with mine. Just sayin.
>>
>>29425563
Pretty much this, think of milspec as an industry standard or baseline. Doesnt mean it's bad, just means it'll fit just about every other part and will hold up to what the military had in mind. There are a shitload of civil parts that are built to better standards though.
>>
>>29426413
It's a relatively new thing.
New production Anderson lowers don't have a fully threaded grip screw hole.
>>
ar15 lowers are all the same. literally just polymer/metal frame.
>>
>>29426636
To be some ritzy lowers have special features. Set screws in place of roll pins, integrated trigger guards, ambi featurea, shit like that.

They're all the same unless the company has shit machining practices like Hesse

That said, I had an Anderson where the anodizing was too thick

Ergo grip and 10 round pmag everything was spare parts I changed off my other rifle... I spent all the money on the Nordic components barrel and it will hold 1moa all day...
>>
>>29421358
I saw the Viking Armament lower with the open mag well and thought that would be a good host for a .458 SOCOM pistol build
It would also be my first AR
