In the last 4 years their lower is by far the best in general when I put them in my hole gage jig. The machining is very good. the finish uniform and hard. the trigger and hammer pin holes are RIGHT! the Mag catch is very uniform in placement ( not so with the prancing Pony...EVER!) and the mag well is always right ( even though try as you might you will never find a spec for it, cause they never thought to spec that protion of the lower...even in the orriginal AR Mil Spec.) and the cross pins are always located in the right place. Are ALL of them good, NO, but many more are good than most large manufacturers A,B,C.Now I am not including the small custom shops in this cause Leitner Weise/Land Warfar, Noveski, J.P. etc. take the time to do it right  Remember they start with the same darn blank, but they really put in the time, but for a big manufacturer I have had really good results with DPMS.The very best of the Best Is Nordic Components who machines a good deal of the lowers used by the custom builders, but they don't sell lowers to the General Public KurtM</blockquote>
