Meh. Not worth my money. I've had several and was not impressed. Machining is so-so. 2 of them did not have the grip screw threads machined all the way and caused the screw to bottom out well before the grip was tight. I'll spend a little more money and get something better, even Palmetto's are better, with Aero being better than both.

I’ve heard this before but I’ve built many lowers with both PSA and Magpul grips and never had a problem with the screw bottoming out. Never had any fitment or machining issues either. Maybe Anderson has cleaned up their act a bit?

Perhaps. I haven't been into building AR's for awhile, I mainly just get factory built stuff now. If I were going to build another one, I'd probably go with Aero though.

Lol I knew it wouldn't take long. I have one Anderson lower pistol build and it's exactly how it should be. I'd say most companies have trouble with their lowers at some point. Even the great BCI INGO lowers had issues. My Noveske isn't machined perfect and I laid good money for it.

Really? I haven't had any issues so far(granted I have only had 3 anderson lowers) but side by side the finish and machining seem to be a lot nicer on the Anderson's than the PSAs

Should I not take issue with a lower when I have to finish tapping threads just to attach the grip using a lower parts kit from the same company? I had to do this to 2 of mine and another one for a friend at work. The BCI Ingo lowers (first batch) I didn't care for either, front takedown pin bore was too tight and the magwell bevel seemed minimal compared to others. I'm not an elitist or something, hope I didn't come off that way, just giving an opinion based on what I've seen.

I've had fitment issues with Palmetto, Anderson, and... wait for it.... BCI.

I never assembled my INGO lower but my 2 other BCI lowers were a PITA.

I typically stick with spikes except the spider because it looks like 2 ***** but the one and only Aero lower I have is good.

I've had several Spikes that I've been happy with. Current one we have is a Punisher version that my wife used to build her 10.5" pistol.

I have three in the safe in a wide serial number range, and all three had shallow threads that needed tapping, one has HORRIBLY tight fit at the takedowns(three different LPK pin sets) that need a punch to open, and the third is ok save having to finish tapping the grip. So, $30 isn’t bad for a finish yourself piece?

It's always best to avoid cheap sh*t.

Hmm! I recently finished assembly of 3 AR's using Anderson lowers that I had purchased 4 or 5 years ago. I did not have one issue and the maching looked as good as any of the other brands I have inspected.

Looks like these are still on sale if anyone wants to take advantage.
