[QUOTE="Surveyor1653, post: 2906644, member: 5197"] You want the whole list, or just the top ten? Final machining leaving burs and other deformities in mag wells, trigger pockets, trigger holes, etc. Trigger guard roll pin holes misaligned and out of diameter. Hammer pin holes misaligned and out of diameter. Trigger pin holes misaligned and out of diameter. Bolt latch gap out of spec. Buffer retaining pin hole to incorrect depth. ...and that's just their lowers. Their other parts are just as hit or miss and are well documented by professional armorers and people carrying guns for a living. I've built three sequentially numbered Anderson lowers. One required KNS pins because the trigger and hammer pin holes were out of spec. I know because I used pins from 3 different parts kits to try to find a fit. The second had multiple burs in the mag well and trigger hole. Buy a 40 dollar receiver, you get 40 dollar finish machining, finishes, and QC. Buy an Aero, BCM, SOLGW, MEGA, or others and you get the quality that those who don't know better THINK they're getting from Palmetto and Anderson. They simply aren't "just as good" as those which cost more. Oh, and before somebody jumps in with "the forgings all come from the same place", know this: the Palmettos and Andersons of the world aren't selling you a lower they got like that. They're selling you a lower made from a rough forging that they either finish machined and coated themselves, or a reject from another manufacturer. They're bitter pills, but it's medicine what's good for you, nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
