Headworked Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've always been a JP fan, and still am. Plan is to use pencil 16" barrel, adjustable GB, ultra LMOS, hyperfire Tarheel TG... My dilemma is which receiver set to pick up...? I've been using the Lancer L-15, and love the interchangeable magwell... Lookin for good dimensional accuracy, nice tight fit, hard anodized maybe? What say you, rifle builders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Aero is a good one. If your buying one and buy a matches set its gonna be a tight fit. On all mine I do square the receiver up regardless of what set I use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtReMe90 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 This is what I'm using in my next build https://www.santantactical.com/stt-15-pillar-billet-receiver-combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklab Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Not sure what you are looking for, but there is a small company here in Penna. called Rowe tactical. They make a really nice billet set at a fair price. I don't do 3 gun but I did build a few on there match sets. Very happy with them. Look them up @ gunsinc.com.

roadie3 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Mega Arms make some really nice billeted upper/lower sets. They are not the least or most expensive, middle of the road. http://www.megaarms.com/ar-15/receiver-sets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novie Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Cross Machine Tools makes a great set, you can buy direct or through Rainer Arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headworked Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I've checked out all the ones that have been mentioned... Too many choices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusbrew Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 If you go to rainierarms, they have several billet combo sets for sale. Nowadays,theres lots of options. I'm going with the Rainier ultramatch combo set for my next 3gun build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headworked Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Took cactusbrew's advise... Bought a Rainier ultra match billet upper. Gonna run it with a Lancer L-15 lower (love the interchangeable mag wells!!) thanks for info, guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 My current build in progress is a Gibbz side-charging upper and an Aero Precision ambi lower. I have a billet set that will never see 3-Gun. It's going to get my 20" Krieger HBAR and a bipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCAR Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Aero Precision with no forward assist has my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian04rs Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Just finished my first 3gun build with joe bob outfitters Spartan billet lower and non reciprocating side charging upper ( same as gibbz) works very nice and uses any bcg group. great with rhino low mass bcg Edited September 22, 2015 by Brian04rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racnsoonr Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Nit to hijack, but how do you like the rhino bcg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian04rs Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 i think it's a quality piece at a great price. Got it for 250 from dsg. Rifle shoots nice and soft just like I planned haha. I'm a machinist by trade, and I can say it's amazing how skeletonized it is when you think about what it does, but if it's good enough for pat Kelley and Jesse Tischauser then it's good enough for me!

Jason Klein Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Besides the "I want" factor, any reason not to use Anderson Manufacturing upper and lowers? Seems to be the most cost effective way to get a receiver set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Besides the "I want" factor, any reason not to use Anderson Manufacturing upper and lowers? Seems to be the most cost effective way to get a receiver set. As long as they are in spec, the only real difference in forged sets is the roll mark. Anderson is certainly an affordable option. My 3 gun rifle is built on a PSA forged lower and no name upper. The balance of the parts are top shelf and the build hasn't ever let me down. Forged is also lighter in most cases.

trickpony Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Check out the Battle Arms Development LW receiver set. Neat looking setup. Go with a Voodoo LW BCG or JP LMOS BCG if you don't go with a Ti setup. http://www.rainierarms.com/battle-arms-development-bad556-lw-receiver-set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 LAR had a nice side charge upper - no longer available. Crosshill makes essentially the same thing. I like the left side charging, probably picked that up years ago when I had an AUG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latech15 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 There are a few differences that matter with receivers. I have seen a few features that I like but in the end don't "matter". Seekins has a set screw for tightening the upper and lower fit. That is nice, but the three that I really like are that they use a set screw to hold the safety detent spring in instead of using the grip itself. Same thing with the rear takedown detent. Knowing that those aren't going to go flying when you take the grip and the buttock off is helpful. They also use a screw to hold the bolt catch in instead of that silly roll pin that I hate so much. Those things are nice during assembly, but once you get it built, you really aren't changing those things that often. I'm sure that they're are others that have these options, I just know about Seekins having them. My 3g rifle is built on a PSA blem upper and lower and holds 1/2MOA with my distance load.

ropsitos Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Just put an order in for a F1 firearms skeletonized billet set in Orange. Saw one in action for the whole match at fnh and liked what i saw. I have a PSA lower and aero upper that I'm building into a 300blk sbr. Parts seem good but I'm not far enough into the build to know 100% Rest of the ARs are JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
