Really, a lower is a lower is a lower. As stated many times here there's no real difference unless you go for the top end manufacturers that add extra features, throw in some styling changes and put a $2-300+ price tag on them. Go for a good standard lower and spend your money on the barrel.
One area to check for on some lowers is the magazine well. I have run into some lowers where the well is a little tight when using polymer mags such as P-Mags. 99.5% of the time, a quick sanding with 1000 to 2000 grit corcus (?) cloth solves the problem. If you're using aluminum mags, you're okay.
I receive emails from AIM Surplus regularly showing various lowers all under $100, some around $50-60. Check around as it's a buyer's market now that the panic buying is over and these companies are trying to unload their excess stock. One of the pawn shops around here has lowers they can't sell as they're priced over $125 for no-name manufacturers. Guess the fact that prices have dropped escapes them or they overpayed for them.
