No issues at all with mine.
Lowers aren't "chambered" though...

I have 3. Dang good IMO. Sometimes the lower finish doesn't match exactly with the Anderson Upper, but that's true of most brands. The AERO I just put together was the same(finish wise).
Anderson makes decent LPKs as well. Their supplied SS trigger group will hang with much more expensive triggers with a JP spring set and a bit of polishing. One of mine is damn good after that treatment.
For $38-40, you can't go wrong with an Anderson lower.

I have several. They do exactly what any other AR lower does; just at a lower cost.

Too bad they aren't low shelf so you can use a RDIAS.

I found some online for 35 bucks and to be hunest, I think they're nice lowers. Picked up a few as investment pieces and a few to build up. I would say they look like any other lower you'd buy but for a great rate.

From what I've heard and read online Anderson actually manufactures lowers for some major companies. Colt being one of them. Not saying Colt used them exclusively but they did use them I know on one of their lines a few years ago. I used one of their lowers on an AR pistol and couldn't be happier. I'm about to buy an upper by them for my next build.

I have a few that went together just fine, and fit nicely with various uppers.

Their shop is in my home town and I know the owners personally. Great guys and I went through their shop when they started manufacturing AR's. Their dad started the business many years ago, doing work for the aircraft/space industry. I have old friends running CNC machines and assembling AR's for them. They know what their doing. If you choose the RF 85 coating, it really works. Soap and water clean up and no lubricant.

I have 3 Anderson lowers. They work as well as anyone else's lowers.
I can also brag on their lower parts kits. They have a pretty decent trigger for the price.

I bought a few of these when AIM Surplus had them for $39 shipped. I've put one together with a PSA upper and LPK with an ALG trigger. Everything fit really well. Good bargain
