    I don't have any personal experience with them but everywhere I have seen them mentioned says that they are good to go.

    I built my first AR on an Anderson lower. The fit and finish is great!

    +1 on PSA. I have a PSA mid length premium upper on a Spikes Tactical lower. It shoots awesome! You can't beat the value for what you're getting. Their "premium" uppers sport barrels made by FN manufacturing. Top notch quality for great prices.

    Waiting on my lower from PSA is like waiting on Christmas for a kid. I Think Im half way there, ordered it on the 11th.

    PSA shipping for complete lowers or uppers take a bit longer as they build them when ordered. If it's just the lower, yeah I'd say two weeks have been their standard. Their shipping has slowed down a bit due to popular demand. Last order I had with them (ammo and LPK) took a little over two weeks.

    One way to check your order from PSA is through their vendor page at AR15.com. You post your order number and maybe a couple days later, PSA will post a status. Last time I did that was during the panic while waiting for an upper ordered before the panic.

    I ordered a PSA upper a couple of months ago. Most of the web pages state in red that their stuff is built after the order is received and to expect 15 days before shipping. On the night of the 14th day I got a shipping notice and it showed up 3-4 days later FedEx Ground.

    I ordered a stripped lower but Im still planning on waiting for 2 weeks.. I don't have a problem with it, Im just impatient. I still have a lot of waiting left for other parts too..

    I paid for my lower and mags on the 11th. They are all at my FFL waiting for pickup on the 20th, not as bad as I thought..

    Just finished building my PSA lower.. It is complete with stock and buffer for $119.97. I could have bought a polymer one like New Frontier or Omni for that price but I like the feel of the aluminum lower.

    For >$120, that's pretty awesome.
