Looking for 7075, not concerned about billet v forged, want a flared mag well however not one that interferes with the grip.
Any suggestions or other things I should be looking for?

not a suggestion, but a question - what do you mean by flared mag well that interferes with the grip?
I would make sure you get a type 3 hard anodized coating and a low shelf. Other than that, I don't think it much matters.
The reason I bring it up is because the finish is the single most important quality for me. This spring I have acquired four new lowers in addition to the Colt 6920 that I had. I can tell you that there is a wide variation in the quality of finish from one mfg to the next but the machining is generally the same. One of my "off brand" lowers scratched easily and flaked off on the pin hole.
Type 3 anodizing makes a difference with how rugged the finish is.
Ben: We've all seen how "pretty" your builds are so we know you don't care about "finish"...

Dont know if you can build one but have you considered a 80% lower ?
Disreguard if your state law does not allow possession of a self built ar lower, well the last 20% that is.
OP expressed an interest in a flared magwell, do 80% lowers offer that?
If you are contemplating an 80% lower, might I suggest one of these? If you are into colors, besides basic black, We have them in red, blue and green.
