Re: Tactical innovations lowers/uppers
That's a little harsh. Harbor Freight is cheap and fails within 6 months, I don't know that any receiver from any company is that bad.
That being said they are pretty much unheard of, they are cheaper than some companies but they are decent. If you're looking for cheap lowers Surplus Ammo and Arms lowers are about as cheap as you can get other than Palmetto States when they're on sale. What I have found when it comes to receivers as long as they are forged and the company has been around for a few years they are usually good to go as far as function goes. Where the difference lies is in the quality of the finish and the brand on the roll mark. Billet lowers are more of a gamble when they come from newer companies and as everyone should know castings (few and far between anymore) should be discarded. I've built all types of receivers from $50 receivers to $200 receivers and the only issue I've ever had was the difference in mag release button sizes (DPMS, RRA, Stag, ArmaLite, Daniel Defense, Spikes and other quality companies) seem to fit in all lowers while cheaper parts (Del-Ton, Double Star, and some others) may require some fitting. Hope that helps
