Where to buy a complete lower for cheap

Nothing wrong with the Vulcan lower. The 'stuff' on the internet is from 5 years ago or something like that...and a completely different product.

You have a shopping list based on 'Brand Name'
Wolverine has Armalite $160 (stripped) and Arms East has Aero Precision $145 (Stripped)
Either of these fine companies can complete them For about an extra $200 (Stock $70, LPK $90, Labour $40)

CTR stock (which is what's on the Spike's lower he referred to) is over $100.00 and that does not include the receiver extension tube, buffer or spring.

At the end of the day it all depends on what he defines as "cheap". The Vulcan lower we have on sale @ $269.99 is about as cheap as it gets. Personally if I was building a .22 AR it's a great option... better than the COLT or S&W .22 rifles that also use polymer receivers and that are NOT compatible or changeable to other calibres... and especially better if I was planning to use the lower occassionally with an inexpensive .223/5.56 upper. If I was building a .223/5.56 rifle and wanting to get quality components for a serious build then I would not choose to use the Vulcan lower... because I don't base my buying decisions on price alone.

If what you want to do is build the cheapest, lowest cost rifle using the least expensive materials possible, then don't expect to get high quality brand name components.

The Vulcan lower we offer is a low price option for people... it uses a quality RRA parts kit, but the receiver, stock, buffer, spring, etc. are all low price options to get the end-user the lowest price possible. As you change components to higher quality you also increase the price of the assembly.

Pretty simple economics.

The only thing with the Vulcan lower is that you can't fit in some trigger guards, like the (Magpul MOE trigger guard) due to the construction. Other than that there's nothing really wrong with the Vulcan lowers
 
Are we really questioning the suitability of the vulcan lower for a dedicated .22 build?

Go check out a S&W or Colt .22lr and you will realize you have nothing to worry about.

You could buy a stripped lower and build it yourself, but I wouldn't bother.
