Beware of Anderson bolt carriers

I got the same query from a client who sent me pictures but I need to wait for permission to use those pictures.
 
I have two Anderson M16 Carrier Complete from OpticsPlanet.
One had the A stamped so hard it was raised ?
It cut the inside of the Receiver .
They are working well ? Thanks will keep a eye on them .
 
I am surprised to hear of problems with Anderson stuff....I use quite a bit if it, especially in the last year and have had very good results. In fact, I acquired a take-off barrel for little of nothing from a guy that had to have some high dollar/high end pipe. I know he never shot it, so it was probably only proof fired at the factory {if they even do that}.
It shoots quarter minute and needless to say he is wishing he kept this one!!!
Personally, I have to say you cant beat them for the price and quality. The receivers go together and lock up nice and snug, the barrels shoot...what more do you need in an AR?? I always use Geissele triggers.

Bought an Anderson lower once. The machining was awful and the anodize didn't stick in places. I've seen bolt carriers that don't come staked. And the problems I've seen elsewhere tell me to keep staying away. Zero reason to get an Anderson when there are better brands out there.
