    Honestly that’s price may be a bit High haha I owned 2 Anderson’s down to only one and sadly paid 90 per lower but the quality is nothing to be proud of. I like my Tactical innovations much much better. (These will assemble and fire though)

    The problem with those is, that by the time you pay shipping and FFL transfer fees, it might just be cheaper to buy one locally.
    These days they seem to be in the $60 range at the local shops.

    I’ve got 6 Anderson lowers.... all work just fine.

    Honestly there is not much if any difference between any “standard” lower I’ve seen

    Jokes on us.

    Probably one aluminum foundry punching out AR shaped ingots and than just like your dishwasher it goes off to various lines stamped Amana (Aero), GE (Anderson), Whirlpool (Colt), etc.

    Only difference being how the secondary line has invested in finishing equipment. Are you getting a CAD operated 5 axis or a squirrel on a wheel and a guy with a file?
     
    Anderson has been making lowers and uppers for all the big names at one time or another. The buyers then just put their roll mark on it.

    Back on topic: If these were 80's l'd buy them easily. This is not a time to buy documented!
    Just saying.

    I seent some 80s for $40 and a some glock p80s for 110 at a gun show the other day
     
    Cheapest lowers around me are about $80-90. For about $60 TYD I might throw one in a bury bag just for shits.

    What specifically is unrefined on them? The Anderson lowers I have fucked with all seemed ok functionally, no terrible machining otherwise that I saw.

    If all of mine... I’ve only had 1 issue.

    I had a small machining chip stuck in the bolt hold open slot...and the chip prevented a small spot from being anodized......so a small cosmetic issue no one will ever see

    For 1/2 the cost of other lowers, I’ll happily take a small blem

    Minor machining flaws will not even cause me to bat an eye when we are talking about tools such as guns where function and reliability far exceeds cosmetic value.

    If it can handle the tasks and stress that it was built for, and can accurately put rounds down range with each pull of the trigger without me having to wonder if it would FTF in the next second, it is good to go. Historically, there had been guns like the Lefaucheux pinfires, built with "aristocratic class and appearance" in mind, but have not been proven to be reliable in either a street or battlefield environment.
