[mardig88]

I would like to know what are the differences between stripped lowers from
Armalite
StagArms
Spike's Tactical
Rock River Arms
I want to get into ARs and would like to start a build.
just need to make an informed choice

and are the price differences worth it?

Buy the cheapest one.
This is day and age of auto-cad, they are all made to computerized specs

Pick the one with the best looking logo to you.

depends what you want it for. Any "parts" gun will have a lower resale value. Do you want matching parts or do you just want something cheap.

A lot of lowers are made at the same factory and then receive different brand markings. If you are particularly fond of one logo or name, then that's the one for you. As for quality, I don't think you'll find much difference between any of the standard American brands.

FYI: the aero precision lowers we sell go for about half the price, and they are the manufacturer for many of the armalite and spikes lowers.

I agree with all of that!

Especially the part about the Aero lowers...

any of the 4. I actually own one of each brand you 're looking into. Also owned LMT, colt and eagle arms and they all fit, mesured and looked the same. They all worked out of the box without any issues.

I just ordered one of the Aero lowers. One can't go wrong with a Boeing sub-contractor. I honestly wanted a Canadian (or atleast non-American, non-Chinese) lower, but they are either outrageously expensive, like the Dlask and ATRS lowers (but they are also of very high quality), or get the Blue-Line lower and pay outrageous for shipping, and I couldn't find any Euro made lowers.

That's true. That's why I'll be placing a order soon with you guys.
Too bad you don't have the matching uppers to go with the AP lowers.
