Double Star Corp.

What are your thoughts on this company?

What are the prices you’ve seen and anyone sell them?

I want to go there and do a visit/tour or something and report back here, GT, and Arfcom. That’s assuming they accept. Seems they don’t really have a storefront and I haven’t heard much at all of them (which doesn’t mean much.) If they’re good then maybe it is time their reputation is heard.

What say you?

It is a big outfit. A sister company to JTDistributing.
Very nice folks.

Unfortunately, they don’t allow any tours/walkthroughs, etc. because it is just manufacturing there. It would have been nice but that’s okay. I’m still going to check in on their products - anyone have any opinions on pricing and quality?

How does Doublestar lowers compair to LMT,STAG ?I mean is looks and fit,fuction?

I mean is looks and fit,fuction?

Nice finish…LPK fits nice and snug. I would say that they are GTG. I have built SEVERAL up…

I bought one a week or so ago - finish looks great, good rollmark and lettering, very cheap (local for me!) I’ll probably end up using these lowers again since I can get them cheap and nearby. The LPK has fit nicely into it. The only trouble I have is installing the roll pins without a punch. I got the bolt catch/release but I don’t want to break the trigger guard. :S No problem of the lower, just means I’m probably going to have to get a punch. :slight_smile:

What type of finish is on Double Star lower? Sprayed 0n or Anodized?

I have two DoubleStars and both are great.
The finish is hardcoat anodizing with a Teflon overcoat.
Buy with confidence.

Doublestar lowers are very good to go. I like their logo. Personally I like to use lowers that have a teflon coating like the DS.

Who has the Lowest Price on Double Star lowers

Not sure where to buy them but I bought one at a local gun show in Evansville, IN for $100 out the door price. I think the quality of finish is very good. I would say equal to Stag.

Love mine, had it a little over a year. When i got mine, both DS and Brownells had
good prices on them. AS good as anything else i have worked with.

Obviously I know these guys are not LMT, Colt, etc. However I would like to know the overall quality.

Specifically I picked up a Lower and a dozen or so Mags. The lowers quality seems to be top notch but seems and is are different things.

The mags have what look like Magpul anti tilt followers and seems to be well made.

I paid 120 for the Lower and 14 per mag

i’ve done five or six builds on DS lowers. they’re made by LAR. they work just fine.

one of them i just built is a bit sticky with trying to drop PMags free, but i’ll just let it wear in a bit with USGI mags and i’m sure it will free up after a bit of use.

all the others DS lowers i’ve assembled drop PMags free just fine tho

where’d you get it? 120 is a good deal for any lower right now

Local shop. Actually had it since right when everything blew up. Guy refused to jack up prices on stuff he already had in stock. I just wanted to ask since now I am building something off of it.

HI there … I have only built two AR’s so my experience is limited… First build was on a MEGA lower that I put in a RRA LPK a couple years ago …my second build was done in Nov08 on a DoubleStar lower and a DoubleStar LPK. It is went together beautifully and runs perfectly. The fit, finish and functionality is superb. All my mags fit and drop free. The MEGA was snug. Right now I swap my STAG upper back and forth. The DS LPK parts look different than the RRA parts …the DS trigger has a small flat stamped in the middle of both sides and also a stamped S and the hammer has the letter S stamped in to it …The selector snicks on and off nicer than the MEGA/RRA LPK build that has a couple thousand rounds through it… I may update this post later w/ close up pics od the DS LPK.

I bought two stripped DoubleStar lowers for $99 each just before the election, I didn’t have any trouble building them up and both drop pmags, I used a Stag and G&R LPK though.

I have a DoubleStar DSC and like it very much. No issues thus far.
