Hey everyone. About 15 miles from my home is Superior Arms in Wapello Iowa. I want to purchase An AR in parts to eventually complete one. I believe they build the uppers and lowers only. Just wondering if anyone has had any of their products and what the quality and price was like?

I built a 9 mm on one of their lowers. Typical mil spec. No problems. They do have a extra screw built into the lower to adjust out the overtravel. Works great. I would use their lowers without any hesitation.

I bought one off Gunbroker.com from someone in Wapello. It came out to just under $100 with shipping. Used it to build my first AR and there were no problems. The set-screw makes the regular trigger so much better. I also got ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING customer service from the people who sold it. I definitely recommend.
