SBR Lower Choice?

[newblood]

I am ready to buy a lower and do the paperwork to SBR it. What lower would you recommend purchasing? I am using a MUR upper for the build and a Geissele SSA trigger. Any input would be greatley appreciated!!

i bought a Noveske lower for my build. It too will be a SBR with a MUR upper. Just my 2 cents.

Go with something you like. This is a lower that you will probably keep forever, or at least for a very long time. A couple extra bucks spent won't mean anything in a few years.

If I were doing it right now, I would go with either my Noveske, or Magpul C-series lower.

Thanks for the input. I think I will go with the Noveske. I havent seen any of Magpul's for sale and don't think i could shell out the dough on one anyways!!
Thanks again!

May I ask where can I get the Magpul lower? Thanks.

Gunbroker, every so often. Typically they are stupidly expensive as they are so limited.

Magpul lowers typically only come on very limited edition Noveske releases. Each of those is usually around 50 units, there has been 3 if I remember correctly.

The stripped or complete lowers that are shown for sale are ones that were bought, and parted out.


In general, they are the hardest lower to find, and the most sought after by collectors. The C-series would be the hardest of them to obtain as they have never been sold, and the ones that were released were given away by Magpul to good friends and the "right people".

You also want to make sure the lower will work with the SBR upper that you are planning to use. There are a lot of times when people will pay for a $200 tax stamp to find an issue with a lower.

What kind of issues woudl there be between one lower or another. Are you talking about a defect in the lower itself or some sort of incompatability?

Personally, I own a lot of billet and different forged lowers, every time I get a new one I always go back to my Megas wondering why I deviated.
I do not own a Mega billet yet, but their forged lowers are unbeatable in fit and finish, and I would recommend one of those since the new VLtor uppers are forged and a flatter finish than most billet lowers.

Since we're resurrecting this anyway, I'll bite, Stick: why recommend a MPL-C-series, and not an A-series; especially since only the MPL-A's have been commercially-released in any quantities? Does this all boil down to the "same difference" for the purposes of this discussion, or do you actually prefer the subtle differences of the MPL-C?

I picked up 2 CMMG stripped lowers.
1 to SBR, the other for a middy fighting Carbine.

I missed your question before (sorry).

I don't recommend a Magpul C series, or even an A series to people as they are not something people can go buy, with very very few exceptions.

My comment about the C series was made as I already own one, and while I own the A series also, I treat the C series like a rented mule instead of a safe queen. My A series is safe queen, even though its serial number is several digits higher. I'm not sure why it worked out that way.
