My Experience, Good Receiver.
I just wanted to share my two cents, I had read the previous reviews of the billet receiver not being able to fit a charging handle. I really wanted a different look, so this receiver was my first choice. When it arrived, I tested it with two different charging handles over a BCG. Everything is golden. The receiver itself is great. Threads are sharp and consistent, gas rod hole is centered, finish is flawless, charging handle latch pocket is cut deep, and it fits snug over my lower with absolute minimal rattle. My experience is that this is worth every penny.

I couldn't figure out how to edit my previous review so I am writing a new one. Even though I was past the return window, AR15Discounts replied to my review and made good on their promise. They allowed me to return my bad receiver, sent a prepaid shipping label, and quickly sent me a new receiver once they received the return. The new one fits beautifully and looks amazing. It actually looks nice with both forged and billet lowers because it has sharper lines and a more modern look, without being over-the-top "boutique" or bulky, and keeps the lightweight aspect as well. I have already purchased another one and intend to purchase more for future builds. Thanks to the AR15Discounts team for getting me taken care.

USDecent product for the price
Pleased with the product. Being priced so low, wasn’t sure what to expect. But I am happy I bought. Lots have complained about it not fitting, not a complaint here. It does fit tighter due to being billet. I would buy again with knowing not to expect a lot with the price point.
USBad Upper Receiver
This receiver is off badly. Just like others have stated, the charging handle will not fit all the way in. There was a reason these were on sale so cheap. Unfortunately, I have passed the 30-day return window but I will surely leave a one-star review and hopefully save some others from the disappointment.
