New AR15 lowers 30.00 limit 5, from Primary arms. 5 for 150 is pretty cheap.

I know this isn't an opinion question, but I thought I'd pass on my findings in case anyone is on the fence with these andersons.

I bought a couple those anderson lowers off a different site (Joe bobs). I'll never buy them again. After dealing with some terrible custmer service I ended up sending them to Anderson and they determined they were out of spec. Idk how they'd send them out without QCing them before hand. They sent me 2 new ones so good on them but it was quite an ordeal and I'd really rather not have to deal with in the future. Ended up buying a Bravo company lower as well and it much higher quality and finish for a bit more money.

Nothing wrong with Joe bobs. They are great. All issues are with Anderson manufacturing only.

Lets see, issue resolved. No one is perfect. [bleep] happens.

Example of one.

My very first Zeiss Diavari C scope broke on the first shot....

IMHO the Anderson lowers are great and are excellent at that price point. I have used three of them and have not found a single issue. I bought several before last years elections and thought I got them for a great price but not $30 great.

Maybe Anderson has taken a dive in quality lately? I don't know, but I do have 4 or 5 of their lowers and have never had an issue with them, and I'm fairly picky about quality, especially in how everything fits and mates together.

There lowers are fine.

Just be careful with the rest of their stuff.

I agree with you 100%. If they screwed up and make good on it...I'll keep coming back. However they didn't make it an easy process. They dodged me for a few weeks before finally deciding that I wasn't going away until the did something about it.

Example number 2, just came from the range where a guy had an AR that would eject and load another shell but he had a dead trigger. I looked at the Anderson lower and found 3 of the 4 pin holes had enough slop to use large pins almost, only 1 hole seemed to spec. LPK including trigger was Anderson too according to the owner. I was gonna help him sort it out until I saw the pin holes.

Cheap stuff can be good but most of the time a new company offering cheap parts is gonna bite you.

I can't believe they could get a chunk of aluminum to fit an AR upper for $30......

For $30, I wouldn't expect a company pumping out AR lowers to spend a lot of time inspecting them. For that kind of $$, I'd be expecting to roll the dice on the end product quality.
