What comes out of that factory can only improve, that’s for certain.
I for one am not disappointed that the poverty pony is dead.

Shit. Poverty pony lowers will now cost $122.39.
Here's to the last of the $29.99 lowers.

Cool. 2 companies about which I give zero fucks.
Will the quality get better or worse? Yes, definitely.

With few exceptions, companies come and go. Whether liked or disliked doesn't seem as important as just providing more options to choose from.
Ruger already said as much. They get an experienced work force and an already tooled shop. It’s perfect for them.
Something was for sale, someone bought it.
In the grand scheme of things, I guess I’m glad Ruger bought it and is intent to continue operations using the existing workforce.
I’ve read a few posts online speculating as to why Anderson was in a position to sell, but in the end, it doesn’t matter much - American workers who have been building America’s Rifle for many years are going to keep doing so, and doing so under what is apparently a more stable corporation.

One shitty gun company bought another shitty brand.
Like what is the point. Poverty pony has zero value as a brand. Better off selling Ruger branded lowers not that they would since Ruger is gay ass fudd shit.

Wonder if they will keep the roll mark or pull it all under Ruger? Anderson doesn't have a good, or even decent, reputation. Would make sense to discard the name entirely.

Make me a list of acceptable brands we should all own
Could we also get a list of acceptable AND affordable brands we should all own?
Ruger’s announcements directly stated that they bought the manufacturing assets, are discontinuing the Anderson brand, and will be using the facilities and existing workforce to expand their own brand production.
He's ignored otherwise I wouldn't see.
The plight on the poor. The struggle is real...

How the hell am I ignored when all your posts show up to me?
Remember to give your balls a tug. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would LOVE to see your acceptable list of equipment.

Not saying that you are completely wrong, but there are people with a limited budget. While they should be spending their money on a BCM, Daniel Defense, etc there can be exceptions. I started with a DPMS and a Bushmaster. The DPMS gave me fits but the Bushmaster was reliable.
Today I depend on BCM at a minimum and KAC at the upper end, and own some PSA stuff that has been fun and reliable. The lower tiered stuff enticed me into the AR world and that will attract the Ruger/Anderson crowd.

I’ve ran BCM and PSA with no issues and issues, but everything has the potential for a problem.
Anderson lowers are/were just a vehicle for components and made fine blasters and plinkers.
I just get tired of hearing the constant “trash, trash trash” talk from some people. I don’t lose any sleep over it by any means.
The Anderson lowers seemed to be a great value for the money. The rest of their stuff, including the LPKs were always suspect. I have seen issues with them.
It really comes down to the intended use. A weekender who occasionally does a couple mag dumps, the training junkie who puts 500 rounds through an AR per day in a class, or the precision shooter trying to win a match all have different goals.

If you're "ignored" - he can't see your posts, but you can still see his. You're not "blocked" on forums like you can on facebook where the blocked person can't see what someone posts, AND vice versa.
