I have three Global Tactical lowers, CMT does make them and they are pretty good quality. I think if you get an assembled lower you can get pretty much whatever trigger you want with it. Just talk to Denny, he will work with what you want on it.
Standard single stage is fine.
I had a LMT 2 stage once and liked it. But, a single stage would be OK.
Thanks for your comments, DM1975.
Well Kids… I took the plunge and I have a new LMT Complete Lower with 2stage LMT trigger and an Installed MIAD OD colored grip on the way. I decided to spend a little more and get something that I know I will be happy with. Would I have been happy with the Stag or CMT?? I’m sure, but every time I look at that damn Deer head on my gun I would regret it…
.
And I trust LMT and all the parts they put in to the lower and I know their a stand up company that produces good stuff.
Now to start slowly piecing my SPR together… a part here… a part there…
I have one of the SunDevils and love it. I don’t think any of the above mentioned are in any way bad lowers. 'cept Colt.

Good choice Harv. I have had 6 different lowers I think and my favorite is my Noveske with an LMT close behind. The finish on these were WAY better than my DPMS, RRA or Bushy. My dept. issued Bushy has pits and crap all over it from the factory.
I’ve never heard of these Sun Devil lowers. Does anyone have a link?
These guys sell them.
I’d like one of the Noveske lowers regardless of whether it was complete or not. As long as it is marked S-S-A. S-F would do if that’s all they are ever going to make…
I just can’t afford to buy one of their complete rifles and I’ve already got a nice SS WOA midlength in an LMT upper to slap on it…
Just picked one up myself but I assembled it with a parts kit myself. Denny is great to deal with and great guy.
Aside from the logo, what has been your collective experience with Stag lowers?
I have two early Stag lowers, both are below S/N 625. One remains stripped and rests in the safe, waiting for Paul’s 20" BCM Upper Receiver Groups so I can build an A4 clone. I registered the other as a SBR on a Form 1.
One of them doesn’t fit “flush” with any upper. It’s as though the lower receiver is “shallow” towards the front left side and allows the upper receiver to hang over. There doesn’t seem to be any functional impact so I ignore it.
Picture of the slight overhang. Not really a big deal, just curious whether anyone else has seen this.
I have had great luck with Doublestar lowers. I have two of them myself. I put our 2 stage trigger in them and they work great.
Not to get off topic, but Doublestar/J&T is a company that doesnt get enough press. I have one of their carbines that has been converted from post-ban status, 7k rounds in over a year, a Hackathorn Carbine and a Rogers Carbine class, numerous competitions, and borderline neglect/abuse.
Not a single malfunction to date (using good mags and ammo of course)
2-thumbs up to J&T/DS.
Of the 5 lowers I have I like the Lauer lower the best followed by the Ameetech Lower…
- Lauer (CMT parts kit)
- Ameetech
- Oly (nice don’t know what the LPK is)
- DPMS (DPMS parts felt gritty at first after 1000 rounds trigger is smooth)
- Vulcan Carbon Fiber (awfull but I got it at a good price! 50.00)
We have safe-semi-auto lowers, you will need an SOT+law letter or dept. leterhead to get one though…
We are out of semi lowers right now, a lot went to Cali. When we have more they’ll go back on our site.

What dealers sell Doublestar lowers?
The Global Tactical lower are nice. They are made by stag but you dont have to look at the deer. Also they are marked semi and safe so you could always have someone put auto on it. The two I bought were stripped but GTS will put a CMT parts kit and probably any trigger you want in it.
If you want the whole package I would also recomend LMT with the SOPMOD and the LMT two stage. I have one of those as well and love it. The LMT two stage is really nice, better than the RRA IMO.
