Yep, I agree totally, when bad runs surface, its nice to hear the chatter.
For sure!
Just that even reputable and high dollar folks have lemons, so in the end it has nothing to do with brand vs accuracy or reliability.

Who was it that had a bad run of Wilson barrels? IIRC they came through RRA in the 90s or early 2000s...
I swear the crown was a cordless drill and dull 3/8 bit... recrown and they shot fine...

what do you guys think? Is a Spikes lower worth more than an Anderson? I have a few spikes but a cheap Anderson to have on hand or two might be an idea.

I picked up an Anderson yesterday.
Dimensionally, I give it an A+. It fits several uppers I have and it has a low shelf trigger pocket. A parts kit fits very well.
Appearance-wise, I give it a C. The lines are crisp, but the color is Black Coffee or Dark Chocolate, not a deep Colt black.

Finishes are another thing that varies greatly among cheaper receivers. But just so no one thinks I'm a lower snob with my Noveske's, my favorite lower is my Charles Daly. A cheap lower from a company known for importing junk. They really made an effort to build a great mil spec AR but couldn't out run their reputation I guess.

I guess you are a snob if you are concerned about anything other than functionality.  Wish I had grabbed one of those CD ARs. They were a fantastic deal.

I picked up my lowers today.
Gotta say they look like every other one I've seen. Granted, I never payed much attention to them but machine work on both and finish on the one looks good.

MM, I build on the cheapest forged aluminium stripped lower with forward assist I can find. If I ever find a lower with FA I'll be sure to remember this ^^^^

I put the rest of the parts in the Anderson. The hole for the grip screw was about 1/8" shallow, so I used some nylon washers to make the grip tight.
