Parts is Parts

Thanks for all the info on this thread. Got a bonus from work so I've earmarked some of that toward my first AR rifle. Shopping for a lower receiver now, want to support a LGS if possible but Runnings (semi local at least) has Anderson priced $45 (similar to online), but unfortunately currently out of stock at least at the Rome store. Stix n Stones has Aero for $89 which seems ok but I'm thinking I'd rather have 2 Anderson for the same $. Waiting to hear back from TRB's if they have any in stock.

Personally, I'd rather buy one good barrel than two crappy ones though.

Built one with an Anderson lower and parts kit.. hardly played with it but it goes bang when the trigger is pulled.

I'm referring to the lower receiver; are you saying Anderson lowers are crappy? That's not what I've heard/read. The gunsmith who is going to build my rifle suggested Anderson or Aero, said finish can be more consistent on Aero but either will do the job.

No sorry my point was a lower is a lower but for my money I'd rather build one rifle with a decent barrel than two rifles with mediocre barrels.

Yea, the lower doesn't matter, but the barrel does.
