Anderson AR Lowers? Anybody have an opinion?

AIM Surplus has some in stock for $39.95. I'm sorely tempted to pull the trigger on one or more, stash it/them away, and build as I can afford the parts. Kentucky made, in Hebron.

Might end up being my first AR pattern rifle since getting out of the navy... or course, that one wasn't mine, I just rented it. Like I need another caliber... I have a closet full of 7.62x39 ammo, pouches full of magazines, and a means to reach out and touch something with it. Anyway, maybe I'm compensating for never having a decent set of Legos, but...



Anybody built an AR off an Anderson lower or bought a full rifle from them? Heard anything, bad or good?

 

Good deal. Thanks. I ordered one.

Now, what about those Palmetto State Armory uppers? They've got barrelled receivers w/handguards for around $200 and up.

 

I'm really liking those Palmetto uppers with the stainless barrels. A little troubling about the ammo, though. Is your upper a 5.56 Nato or a .223? I know I'm going the cheapest route for my future AR build but... I guess I can make up for it by having a freaking heavy as a boat anchor but surprisingly accurate Yugo M70B1 to shoot the cheap Commie stuff out of.

Speaking of cheap Commie stuff; it's quite strange how AKs seem to be more expensive than ARs nowadays. Most of the email sale flyers I get from CDNN or AIM Surplus seem to have even the formerly cheap-azz Romanian WASR AKs priced higher than the lower-end ARs.

But, you know, I just want a token AR so I can make a good showing on the next BLM (not Black Lives Matter) standoff. Heh. :eek-new:

 

By golly, I'm doing it... when I can afford it. I promise to post pics when it happens.

 

It was AIM Surplus. Here's the link. Of course, shipping will be $20. Not too bad if you buy more than one or you can find other stuff to add to your cart. I think I may have found it cheaper on Brownells by just a few bucks... it was more on the list price but shipping was a bit cheaper. I like AIM, and since I had ordered my Yugo AK from AIM back in 2005 or so, I went with them.

 

links, man!
