One question I have after building my first rifle on a pre-ban lower...among the experienced folks here, is there a noticeable difference between a mid-range lower and something from KAC or LMT when it comes to basic plinking and SHTF defense?

This is why I only shoot on windy days, and make sure I walk uphill to the range and back, in the snow.Buy a cheap lower, that way when you have a sucky day shooting you can blame the cheap shit you bought not yourself.

Fancy, no. Quality, yes. as long as everything is in spec, the part you put in make a bigger difference.
To borrow from a previous post, I have a full LMT AR and it is damn near perfect. That said, I have a cheap, barely in spec, lower with mostly Geissele and Magpul parts and it is pretty close to equal of the LMT.

Speaking of cost.
Most lower receivers cost less than the butt stock that people put on these rifles.
Pretty much any lower will work... even poverty pony lowers are fine usually. The more expensive stuff is for SWAG and possibly additional features or asthetics.One question I have after building my first rifle on a pre-ban lower...among the experienced folks here, is there a noticeable difference between a mid-range lower and something from KAC or LMT when it comes to basic plinking and SHTF defense?
What i have seen many do with the cheap lowers is buy all the other parts as cheap as possible too. Trust me a $40 BCG is not made the same as a $200 BCG. Same if you drop on a compete upper assembly for $200.
