Which brand do you recommend? I found some Spikes Tactical stripped lowers for $89. And then there are a lot of polymer complete lowers from around $120. I not sure about those though.

Spikes are good lowers.
I'd stay away from polymer lowers, especially since aluminum lowers are so cheap and abundant. And don't forget to stock up on lower parts kits, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Alright...I have four stripped lowers, a lower build kit, and a Radical Firearms complete upper on the way. All for over $100 less than I sold my Sig556 for. Can't wait to try my first build.

I bought a Springfield 1903 yesterday. It's dated 1929 with a barrel dated 1944. Description says metal is very good with 90% blueing, very good stock with a couple minor handling marks. It also says bore is bright and shiny with a couple spots of minor surface pitting hoping it is minor. Muzzle gauge of a one. Action is smooth with a rebuild in 1944. It has a Remington bolt.
Bought it for $725. Is that about what it's worth? |

Got my Springfield 03 today. This rifle is beautiful. Found one small spot with very light pitting on the bolt. Everything else looks clean. Going to shoot it a couple times, throw on some wax, and make it a safe queen.

I was finally able to snag a M1 Garand for a decent price online.
Hopefully I can pick it up from my FFL by next weekend and post some pics. |

The ones I have seen in that lower end range I felt quite frankly were junk. They had the hell beat out of them. They weren't well maintained over their service life for sure. I didn't bother to inspect the bolts and bores on them because they looked so bad. Honestly I'm envious The '03 is another one of the guns on my long wishlist.
