    Anyone ever build an AR using these lowers?

    How did it end up working out for you?

    I was going to buy an Aero lower to sbr and throw a law tactical on but I just got turned on to the Shield lower and from there saw the 17 Designs and I think it makes more sense to buy one of those, and it's cheaper too.

    My only worry is the same as what I've seen a few posts about here and there regarding cycling issues given the BCG adapters being finicky for some people's gas settings.

    @ the corner of IN, KY & OH.
    I have been wanting to try the 17 Designs one. I like the idea of one unit versus buying a lower then spending $250 more for the LAW folder. That said, I do want a LAW Folder for a project.
    Brownell's has 17 Designs folding lowers now on sale. $199.99
