Knowing what I know about the industry, who ever put this together is a consumer at best.
Wilson is made by Anderson. Which amuses me for some reason.
This makes me wonder if there is a chart out there that shows who makes what. Not that would be interesting.
For example, I heard that Barnes Precision in Apex makes stuff for other people. Supposedly high end. Would love to know all those details.
Pretty sure POF does everything in houseIm interested to see this lower receiver manufacturers list get picked apart. I have no idea how accurate or if this is down to final machining or just raw forging/casting.

Didn't know brownells made their own ARs. Surprised they are on the same level as some of the others in its group

This is why it's taking forever for me to get an SR15 Ambi lower!
You can get good or bad in any of them. If someone likes a certain brand, good for them. Just don’t knock someone else for what they like. I personally know of a Del-ton that has well over 20k rounds through it and it runs like a sewing machine. I personally prefer DD, HK, or LMT.
The best part about doing that is you are "assembling" it, as it is an incomplete arm so you do not end up paying that 10-11% excise tax on fully ready to run Firearms.Years ago I fully built an AR rifle using a pre assembled upper and preassembled lower, all from PSA.
When it was complete, I had a complete AR rifle from PSA.
You certainly can. HahahaAin’t you Mr Boutique? 😆
I thought mountain folk were practical. Can I come over and touch the LMT and HK sometime? 😳
I'm with everyone that said "Aero". You can have prettier, or more expensive, but their stuff is upper tier for a middle of the road price. Aero, a quality trigger, and a good barrel will get you on par with almost anything from any other brand.
Mega also went under/got bought out years ago and the name is now owned by ZEV. Who do runs of receiver sets that are sold under that name but are identical to their own. Redacted is also owned by ZEV. ZEV is also the manufacturer of the 7075 wedge lock rails used by SOLGW.Pretty sure POF does everything in house
Chart is made by neckbeards that live in their parents basement.My JP is better than any LWRC made... Just speakin facts... Chart is WRONG!
Am I the only one running the heck out of rifles that are a complete mashup of parts? I can only recall 2 ARs that I’ve owned that were “complete” when purchased.

Why buy a factory rifle when you can slap your own together?
With ARs it is so much more the “Indian” than the “arrow””.
All of my rifles except my JP are bastard children.... Scored the JP in a trade for one of my bastard child builds that shot lights out... The JP needed some gas block adjustments that the previous owner was not willing to do. You hit the nail on the head with having a bunch of good parts from all the brand parts to make a good rifle! Its like Lego's for adults!Am I the only one running the heck out of rifles that are a complete mashup of parts? I can only recall 2 ARs that I’ve owned that were “complete” when purchased.
