V SEVEN AR-15 GI LOWER

esrepairman · Nov 7, 2016

Has anyone purchased or use one of these lowers? I am thinking about buying one soon, and would appreciate any comments or experiences.

At 145 then shipping and transfer.....I'd just as soon go to engage

I don't have any of their receivers, but I do have many of their other parts they make and I can tell you they are all top of line items. Planning on buying a lot more from.them in the future.

That said. Like the guy above stated it looks like a standard forged receiver, may as well buy one someone has in stock locally and not pay the transfer fee

From what I understand v7 was started by a former noveske gunsmith also if that means anything for you as far as quality standards

Another vote for Engage!

Definitely going to want to call and check. I got a Stag lower on Saturday and they were running out I think

Cool parts. However the lightweight upper I have is just a re-machined Anderson forging - you can tell by the ejection port **** up - marked up hideously. They have some innovative items and others not so much.

Is there anything special about this lower? Nothing about it seems to justify the cost. I'd sooner go for either a locally bought lower or one for a good price online.

You got ot. Their lightweight lower? That's an interesting buy, albeit expensive. This one? Not so much.

Yeah, I totally get it if it's real light and someone plans to use it for a lightweight build. I mean, Hell, I spent a bit extra to get a lower with no rollmark. But yeah, this one seems totally generic except for the price.

One of these, or three Andersons for the same money. Hmmmm.....

Seems like all rest except for the price. :shrug:

They only had a couple of Spike's Tactical lowers in stock, which are a bit more $$$.

Out of curiosity what do Engage lowers typically run for?

I was there the other day, they had a Stag Arms lower for about $120 I think, then a couple of Spikes Tactical lowers at $200+, at least that is what I remember, can't swear to it. They didn't have any of there own Engage lowers for sale, they were all designated for full rifle builds.

Jlowes (an IP here) has Anderson lowers for $59.

JLowes has Anderson stripped lowers for $59. Honestly, I would put my money in the other components. That V7 lower won't do anything for accuracy or reliability.

StantonCree · Nov 10, 2016

So for the record A1Uniform has a few lowers in stock and they have 2-3 of the skull faced lowers. They were pretty badass, I think they were the spikes brand skull faced lowers but don't quote me on that you'd have to call Greg.

And Laz to answer your question I think a regular Engage lower is 125

Pitbull410 · Nov 10, 2016

Pretty sure engage is not selling their stripperd lowers for the time being. Can only get one if you buy a full built rifle I think.

OP get whatever you like more if money doesn't matter to you. I personally spend more on parts to get something I truly like/want, not interested in hoarding lowers for no purpose, can only shoot one at a time anyway.

Get what you want if $ isn't an issue.
