[QUOTE="Koshinn, post: 2226869, member: 18314"] Nope. Even setting aside non-standard features like integrated trigger guards, right side bolt releases, left side mag releases, and the axts right side bolt catch/mag release combo... Lowers can be made of different materials and even if the same type of aluminum, some are forged (stronger) and some are billet (generally look nicer). Lowers can be in spec or out of spec. Some older colt lowers, for example, have non standard pin sizes just because. Some lowers don't play nicely with all types of magazines, either they don't drop free on empty or they can cause malfunctions. Using a gen2 pmag to monopod on an early gen2 noveske lower can cause malfunctions. Surefire 60s and gen3 pmags also don't work with that lower. Some lowers have a low shelf for a rdias. Others don't. Some lowers work with a BAD short throw safety. Others don't without some modification. Etc. Etc. Etc. And that's not even including the lower parts kit. Get a reputable stripped lower before you start your build, especially if you plan on SBRing it. [/QUOTE]
