Looks like Quentin Defense is in your backyard and sun devil manufacturing is in the same state.
Yeah, they are. They have worked together on stuff for a long time so their uppers and lowers mate nicely. I'm more into buying local than roll marks or ambidextrous controls like a lot of the newer designs have. AZ has a shit ton of AR manufacturers, so I kind of collect them.

I forgot to mention the (3) POF lowers I have assembled went together very nicely as well.
 
If I was going to SBR a lower, the design would matter to me. I would definitely splurge for something nicer than a generic forged lower. Probably this.

Seekins is my brand of choice for affordable bolt gun bases and rings, but I can't stand the look of that lower for some reason. I do like their forged lower and SBA15 though. Everything Seekins makes is top quality for the dollar.
 
There are some seriously tacky mofos in the gun industry.

At a gun show at the Phoenix fairgrounds years ago, I saw lowers with a Tyrannosaurus on them. I laughed like crazy. Never seen them show up on the internet. Kicked myself ever since for not being able to get a picture.

Still better than the DPMS cat.
 
Thanks for the pics guys, by all means - share more.

But still - I'm for the most part ambivalent about pretty much all of them in regards to being super picky about which one gets the stamp. I'm actually more intrigued by some of the more unique machining looks that some of them have.
 
I think the best roll mark is one that is not there at all :D
 
ugh, i hate the fact that i have been contemplating Form 1-ing another lower. My mega is already stamped and i like it, but i might go for a Noveske or something a little different.

the spartan seems to be pretty awesome and unbeatable price wise for billet lowers. ill just leave this here.

The nose art is pretty cool...

I finally found an upper and lower from Umbrella and have it on the way.
Unless I find something better I will go with those...

I bought a forged upper/lower set.
The Billet ones aren't available yet.
I e-mailed Umbrella and they said it would be weeks before the pre-orders started shipping and they were all accounted for. No extras. He said they have been having issues getting them anodized and had to find a new guy to do them...
