Anybody have a list of which of those go to which companies...like who all uses the Anchor Harvey and Cerro, etc?
That would be very interesting to see.

i kinda thought the A was for Anchor Harvey, i had a 16" chf barreled 6.8 that had the square mark which is for Brass Aluminum Forging Enterprises
I have what I think may be a Brass Aluminum Forging upper and lower.
Early model of the Remington R-15 in full camo pattern manufactured by Bushmaster and rebranded by Remington. After a thousand rounds or so the brass color started showing up in the wear areas. Wondered what the heck until looking this company up.
few years back i bought some Armalite carry handles from Botach, they had the square forge mark. last year i bought a couple of complete PSA uppers for friends, they had the square forge mark, prior to that the uppers i got from PSA had the A forge mark. i don't recall seeing any forge marks on the lowers i've used from PSA. Not saying there were no forge marks, mostly i wasn't looking for them. except for personal stuff (only because i like matching stuff) i've never cared who made the lower. if it pins up and fits ok, and will go boom when put on the upper it's good to go.
A $45 Anderson from Fatboy Tactical is all a guy needs. Anything else is just because you want to spend $$! That said, I think my Sig 516 and my LWRCI REPR lowers are billit.
I did one rifle with a Battle Arms Development billet upper and lower set. They were nice... but 5x the price nice? Not unless I was specifically building a rifle to be fancy and purdy. Which I was.
Considering a Seekins billet set for another one, but again, for the same reasons.

I'm not so sure I would agree with an Anderson being the best, for the money. I am far from and expert at AR lowers, but I have purchased 5 different ones. The Anderson at $45 is only about $15 less than the last Aero I purchased. the fit and finish on the Aero is defiantly $15 better. Having said that, when the big show in Tulsa happens, if I can get either for $60 or less I will buy at least 2 more.
Watching this one I'm in the market for my first total build wanting a purdy bench heavy barrel gun. I've put together a couple lowers and put complete d uppers on them. I know it will probably expensive but that's what I want. My son wants to build one himself with his own funds so it probably be mid range to budget for him working and going to school. Can't buy a lower for himself yet but his birthday is in 2 months so I get him a lower and maybe an upper to match. I'm taking notes but probably be asking more questions later after his b-day
Your best bet would be to go with Spikes and have him pick out which pic engraving he wants. Spikes has a good assortment to fit most needs.
