Yep, agree 100%. I have them on 2 rifles and they do not see alot of use. I like them for the above stated reason and also when shooting prone.Just be VERY VERY VERY careful with the BAD lever. There have been reports of NDs when folks get rambunctious using them.
Just wanted to add to this. When I was looking for an ambi lower, I thought $250 (now $300) for the duty/blem wasn't exactly a steal. But if you get a lower for ~$100, a PDQ for ~$70, fancy ambi magazine release like the norgon for ~$50-70, you start approaching the ADM price. Can save some money with a right-hand side bolt release only.The best budget minded ambi lower, with in my opinion the best controls of any, is ADM UIC.
Premium branded lowers / receiver sets are all going to go through the roof soon due to inflated costs I think. 550ish for a complete lower (what I found searching for lwrc right now) doesn't seem horrible.So that was going to be my reply as I think my LWRC is the cats pajamas, but good lord LWRC might as well just tell people to buy the entire gun at $500~ for a lower. It does not look like a stripped lower is even an option with prices being between $500-$600 and TBH not a big fan of their trigger or butt stock
