TM Machine lower which came with A2 stock, and standard pistol grip.Now has Magpul Miad grip, CTR stock, Mil-spec buffer tube, Magpul ASAP sling mount,Heavybuffers.com buffer and spring enroute, 7.62 P-Mag for good measure

Good lookin lower!  I just finished mine a little while ago too.  I cant wait to get some sights or glass so I can go shoot it!!

Seconded on the Pmag.

TM lowers DO NOT like the dirty old DPMS mags inserted in them. (That just sounds bad)

Okay, since I haven't fired mine (well, this one anyway) I cant speak to how my personal one will shoot but since I was one of 8 in our group buy I have been able to closely follow and help build 3 others and fired one.  My personal lower will take DPMS with no problem (not fired yet as I mentioned).  Is the dirty reference to feeding issues or just fitment?  Now the Pmags I have are very very tight in the lower and I had to use some extreemely fine wet/dry sand paper and polished ever so slightly the tops of the Pmags and now they go in no problem and drop freely too.

Totally a fitment issue on the DPMS mags. The Pmags fit like a glove and run flawlessly  <thumbsup>

WOW, really?!  My dpms ones fit and pmags didnt. That would mean the pmags were thicker etc.  Which version of the pmags you have?  The pmags i have are the newer style that do not have the view window, at least that is my understanding.  Now our buy of the actual lowers took place almost 2 yrs ago and from what i have read TM designed around the metal magazines and a bunch of guys had fitment issues with pmags so I wasnt too surprised when mine did it. When did you buy your lower?  Possible that TM fixed the fitment issue?  But then why would your metal mags fit so poorly?  I always thought the metal mags were slimmer and thats why I didnt have any issues.  I have both a dpms 10 and 20 as well as a C products 20 (before they sold the company and went to pot), all these fit perfectly.

Very interesting
