[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2691456, member: 8377"] the forging house does not perform the milling processes. Whoever controls that aspect of the operation has the control over the finished product, not the forging house. And there are dozens of companies who mill forged or billet receivers. If the forging is out of spec it doesnt get milled. As it is, I have never seen an Anderson lower that was not to spec, and I do own them. Clearly whoever is milling those lowers is doing it right. I think maybe you misunderstood my position or just didnt pay close enough attention to what the entire first part of my response referenced. "[I][B]For AR lowers i look for two things. 7075 t6 aluminum, hard coat anodized, either milled from billet or forging. All holes cut, drilled, milled to spec. Everything else is personal preference. Some companies who mill their own receivers have better QC than others, just as some companies who buy finished receivers and have their roll mark applied have better QC than others.[/B][/I]" When I said I would pay more depending on company I wasnt talking about the obscenely priced boutique crap that is all over the market. It would be stupid for me to spend money for that stuff when a lower priced, equivalent product is available. My point about roll marks is I dont give a crap about how kewl they look. I care about how they perform. Did you think I was badmouthing Anderson over some other brand? I dont think you realize I agree with what your saying. [/QUOTE]
