A matched set is nice, but not necessary.

I thought billet lowers were better used with billet uppers?

for a std billet lower, it's fine.
some manufacturers choose to make them specific to work only with their matched billet upper.

One of the biggest advantage that I'm aware of with a Billet receiver set is when you drill the take down pin holes on the upper/lower at the same time so the two pieces fit together perfectly. No wobble or slop between the two is supposed to help with increasing accuracy.

The other biggest advantage with a billet receiver is you look cool unlike all those dweebs with they forged trash.

That's cool. I'm still holding out for some frontier armory polymer lowers.

Just got mine yesterday. Been on order since early Dec.

I'm still waiting for some of that forged crap to become available again.

accuracy comes from the upper receiver/barrel. I'm calling bullshit on a tight upper and lower adding to accuracy

I agree.

If your cheek weld moves or eye placement moves your POI can change. Theoretically if your upper and lower wobble you may not hit the same spot everytime.

jtischauser · Feb 1, 2013

What if the wobble causes you to move the gun?

or just drop in an acuwedge.

Don't get into no wedgie conversation with Jesse

Exactly.

Good point Jesse, but that would be the err of the user, not the tool.

Not exactly. If one tool requires the user to add additional repeatable inputs to keep the upper and lower in the same spot while the other is always in the same spot it's the tool not the tool on the tool. I'm just playing devils advocate. I don't think billet guns are any more accurate than forged guns. If you shoot any of them long enough the start to wear and loosen up.

Like I said earlier the billet won't win the match for you but it will get you chicks.

If you were to mount the upper in a vise via a free float handguard and pulled the trigger with a string to take the user equation out of it, I don't think you would see a damn bit of difference in accuracy between lowers of different fit.
You're right though that the user throws in that extra piece of the puzzle that has to be accounted for so I'll agree with you then that a loose upper/lower fit might degrade accuracy due to cheek weld consistency.

But who really cares as long as the chicks are knocking down your door
