Any links to Noveske blemished lowers for sale?
Rainier Arms has them for $150, not sure if they’re in stock.

The Seekins billet lower is quite nice looking.

I would have to agree…I have recently been looking at them and although they have some extreme lines to them, I really like them.
eta…for anyone who has not tried a lower with the upper receiver tension screw, they are a real nice addition!
I could be wrong, but I do not believe stripped BCM lowers are for sale.
I have built a Noveske blem lower, and it looks as good, if not better than my Noveske factory complete rifle.
I also have a Spikes lower for a future build, and it looks fine.
I think any name lower from a major company will be just fine. Worry more about the quality of the LPK, the BCG, and the barrel you put on it.
Seems like Daniel Defense’s biggest advantage is the flared magwell.
Blackheart International’s forged lowers have among the best anodizing I’ve seen.
They offer both forged ($140) and billet. www.bhigear.com
I put together 5 different guns using the LRB Lowers. All went together with 0 problems,I have used LPK from CMMG,Rock River & Daniels Defense,all worked fine ! Get together with some buddies and buy a bunch of them,LOL !!!

I stick with the usual suspects and suggest doing so, LMT-Colt…
But if budget makes it not an option. I went into Buds in Lexington KY, the online dealer, and handled some of their Double Star’s complete lowers. $200. the trigger was actually pretty good and the baked on finish (it looked and seemed of the baked on variety??) looked great. They had stripped ones as well, I did not look at the price.
You may want to check them out.
Based on price, the billet lowers are clearly the best.
Friend of mine, just built a budget AR with this lower from this seller and is very happy with it.

Either the Aero Precision stripped lower or their house brand lower (made by Aero Precision,) from Surplus Ammo & Arms makes a great lower for $79.99, and prices go down if you buy more than one.

Correct me if I’m wrong, both those are made by CMT
I really like the stripped S&W M&P15 lower receivers. Very clean machining & finishing on them. Nice magwell as well.
I don’t know who makes them but I swapped out a RRA lower with an Aero one on my main rifle (the RRA is now mated to a .22lr upper) and the Aero has noticeably better machining and finish on it then the RRA. So if CMT does make it (which I don’t know) then they’re using a higher level of specs then the RRA stuff they make.
I don’t know where they get their raw forgings from, but as far as I have been able to research, they do their own final machining and roll-marking. BTW - They make the lower you referenced in your previous post, that your friend was happy with.
Good to know, i should have picked one up myself, but I’m to busy finishing my build and buying Magpul P Mags and ammo.
I have used several of these now and the quality is outstanding.

I REALLY like LRBs roll mark as well. In addition they are a bargain to be sure. If ya can swing 10 of them they are under $60 a pop, not bad.

That is one of the"Coolest" things about AR’s,there are soooooooooo,many choices,it can drive ya crazy !!! :eek: In a good kind of way !!! You can pay more,but bottom line, why would you,
The LRB is a Great Lower especially for the price ! Are there better Lowers,probably,are there worse ones,Hmmmm,probably,I just know that the ones I have are pretty darn nice,and the Roll Stamp of the Crossed Cannons is pretty cool also. It all boils down to,get what ya want,plenty to choose from,enjoy shopping around !!! 
+1, just wish I could afford a LRB M14…
