Hello all!
I just picked up my EE lowers today and figured i'd post a review. First off, The receivers do not have the prettiest finish/logo in the world. Then again, with any CA legal lower the only real difference is the decal you want on the side. Each standard receiver comes in a mil-spec "black" finish. EE claims the receiver is black, however, it is really the exact same grey color as the M16A1 or colt SP1 type AR rifles. However, for $3 more (per receiver) you can get them to place a true black finish on that is the same as most lowers. $10 more can get you an olive finish if you are interested.
The fit is perfect on all high end uppers, almost too perfect. There is no wobble whatsoever on Stag, Bushy, Colt, Armalite, CMMG, or DPMS uppers. All of my receivers fit the same way......PERFECT!
When ordering in bulk, EE gives discounts. I put together a group buy so that each lower was $74 (normally individual lowers are $77). Also, EE gives chronological serials on multiple lower purchases. It serves no purpose but its kind of cool having linearly numbered lowers. The 3 lowers I bought cost me exactly $225 shipped. After all taxes and fees I spent a whopping $272.
All in all, for the price, they are the best thing out there and fit just as well as any HIGH END lower. They are forged which does give them added strength but for civilian purposes that won't really matter. They fit all the top notch uppers perfectly and will perform like any other lower. The only downside is the somewhat ugly finish but that can easily be remedied.
Please note that my photos do not accurately reflect the old-school grey finish due to the lighting on my hardwood floor.
Pistol grip is not attached. In case you want to know.
