Not much difference between them. Nothing that notable anyway. Ford, Chevy, Dodge. If there's one you prefer it's probably just because it's the one you have.

Of the cheap lowers I've built, DTI, LRB, Anderson, I'd put Anderson at the bottom in finish quality. All went together without an issue.

Never handled a factory rifle from any of the three you listed.

What are we comparing here? Uppers, lowers, complete factory built rifles? I've had a couple DTI uppers, never one of their lowers. Never had a SOTA anything, but have had a few Anderson lower builds. They seemed to be fine.

I'd toss Aero into the mix too. Had one of their factory assembled lowers (my first ever... ah, I remember that cherry).

Looking at some current deals on spare AR parts and those three brands in particular have the exact same items for the exact same prices. I'd honestly assume the quality is about identical. I just wanted the input of actual users if possible. That's without having to post on ODT lol. I kinda hate how every thread I ever start ends in me being banned...

Can only speak to the Anderson; I've built 3 Anderson lowers with Anderson LPKs and all went together and functioned fine.

I've had at least three Delton (DTI) upper assemblies over the years- all shot fine. I believe that they all had DTI BCGs in them also-

However, these days PSA gets most of my AR money.
I've had a couple and they were among the best shooting uppers I've had.

Coming from the guy with the "high end" Aero... Lol, jk.
Ha, well I can't find a fault with the Aero upper honestly. I've never had any super high end stuff, but I have or have had Spikes, BCM, and and Colt, and the Aero upper seems on par with all of them.

Im just pulling your leg. I have only owned cheap brands for the most part, other than a Colt.
