This video discusses the unexpected closure and acquisition of Anderson Manufacturing by Ruger Firearms. The speaker, Deuce, reflects on Anderson's legacy as a provider of budget-friendly AR-15 components, particularly their 'Poverty Pony' lower receivers. He highlights their contributions to the AR-15 market, including high-quality, inexpensive stripped lowers, innovative 'no lube' uppers, and budget dissipator uppers with true rifle-length gas systems. The video also explores potential alternatives for budget-conscious AR-15 builders following Anderson's discontinuation.

This video from The VSO Gun Channel explains the differences between AR-15 lower receivers, specifically comparing budget 'poverty pony' options (like Anderson) to higher-end billet receivers (like White Label Armory). The instructor highlights that not all lowers are created equal, emphasizing significant differences in quality control, features, and manufacturing processes. Billet lowers often offer better fitment, integrated trigger guards, and specialized installation aids, while forged lowers can have issues with QC and weaker points like the trigger guard.
