Is Andersons Manufacturing AR15 lowers any good? I got 2 (they were the only ones available i could find)

Ooooo... ooooo.. no baby girl what is you doin...

👀 that bad?

Poverty Pony is known for having issues...

🙃 fuk

Better than no AR i guess lol

Will it go bang and your on a tight budget yes. Are there better options yes

Well who knows... you might have gotten okay ones.

Their QC is why no one actually recommends them though.

I'd take PSA over them any day at this point.

As long as it holds I'm good, I can upgrade later

Really, the only way to see if they'll last, is take them out and shoot them.

If they do okay then, you'll be alright.

I mean you could inspect and gauge them first

I got 2, lol hopefully ones good lol

If you have a friend who has the tools, yeah.

Theyre stripped, not 80%

Well yeah, that's what we're talking about.

You know what though. Honestly, if the dimensions are right... so long as you put decent parts inside. You might actually be alright.

The problems will either be spec (things sized wrong) which you could check with some basic hand tools for most of those.
Or metallurgy, which you won’t really know until it breaks, or you see cracks, etc

For sure, hoping to get them today if the background check isn't delayed

Let's see what kinda metal they use.. To google!

Says it's 7075 T6 aluminum

7075 T6 aluminum... and they claim it's Mil-spec

@Soulraiser vortex has a great warranty . If your looking at other options primary arms also makes great prism scope but that ACSS reticle primary arms uses is 👌

7075 aluminium alloy is an aluminium alloy, with zinc as the primary alloying element. It has excellent mechanical properties, and exhibits good ductility, high strength, toughness and good resistance to fatigue. It is more susceptible to embrittlement than many other aluminium alloys because of microsegregation, but has significantly better corrosion resistance than the 2000 alloys. It is one of the most commonly used aluminium alloy for highly stressed structural applications, and has been extensively utilized in aircraft structural parts.

You might actually be okay.

I would just.... hide the logo. Hahaha

I read some reviews on it.. but it was obviously written by a poor. (lol) From what I can find, the stripped lowers don't seem to have any issues.

Just fill it with good parts and I think you'll be alright.

They had a bad batch back in 2015 apparently. But their newer lowers are okay for the most part from what I keep reading.

I have definitely seen *wildly* out of spec Anderson lowers. Like pivot pin holes not even vaguely aligned, receiver extensions threaded completely off center, etc. Now, you could get a good one, and it could run fine for a good while. But just cause it’s stripped and the ‘correct’ material, doesn’t mean they did anything else right

@[CA] SoyBoi my biggest recommendation would be to measure things and carefully test fit each part

Where can I find the specs? I have the tools to measure but need to know what the right readings are

Yeah, all the bad stuff I'm reading about, that you described seem to be from years ago. I can't find anything bad that's new... but they had issues with the roll pins not being the right size, the magazine channels being too thin... And burrs on the machining.

But, I haven't seen anything in the recent past.

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ do you happen to have the lower specs handy in a link? I could find them later

Nice. I would mostly be worried about the dimension, location, and concentricity of the all the pin holes

Thanks guys
Imma measure it up and find a sticker to hide the logo 😳

Hahaha, just don't hide the serial number XD Unless you're ready for that.
