I've assembled several Anderson lowers. All of them have worked out fine for me. The only issue I have had was putting a fostech echo into one, but it was just from the thick finish in the lower. About a minute of sanding and it fit in just right.
I remember getting one of the pins in was a bear and had to be tapped in with light mallet while I had a buddy hold the assembly in place. Just have to be sure you are lined up. Definitely don't want to force it in. It's been a while since I did the install, but I did have to sand the inside of the reciever a little just get the assembly in. Just taking off the finish, no metal was removed.Trey....I am having that very issue right now........I cant get the pin to go in though it looks to line up.......can you tell me exactly what you did to fix it?
Would be a nice price if it did not cost me for the gas money, motel stay, food and such for a 900 mile round trip. Big state is this TX place.To All,
Here in The Alamo City, nearly each 1st weekend at the SA Gun Show (which is at the San Antonio Events Center) there is vendor who sells Anderson lowers for 40 bucks OTD.

At least you rose above destitute statusWell, I am happy to see that at least my current build parts - lower receiver (Spike's tactical) and my lower parts kit (PSA) are mid tier and poverty (sounds right for my income). The fact that Anderson stripped lower receivers are considered in the poverty level does not necessarily deter me from getting one or two of them. If they go on sale for $5 or $10 off, I will buy some.
Yep, I popped right out of it!At least you rose above destitute status
I'm more curious a current list of actual manufacturers - LMT supplies several others, for example.

I was looking at a Lewis Machine and Tool MARS-L stripped lower for a left handed shooter. There is a lot of things going on that receiver. As I am sure H&K's 416 recieversAs does Aero Precision. I find it difficult trace brands to OEMs in the AR world, so I go with what I know. Aero Precision or their sister company Ballistic Advantage for lowers.
Stripped uppers vs complete uppers tends to be a wide and deep pool, so I go with what I know there. PSA for a budget, BCM, LaRue, Liberty GunWorks, Stag and some others for mid-tier value. The high end stuff I find is paying for a mark more than quality.
What is the consensus on the quality (or lack of it) relative to Anderson Manufacturing AM15 multi-caliber stripped lower receivers?
