I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination nor do I have any experience with Essential Arms. I did however recently purchase a Superior Arms lower. I assembled a CAR carbine with a kit purchased from M&A Parts. This was a very straight-forward process, simply putting together the parts. The weapon that I "built" functions flawlesly. The finish on this lower matches the kit perfectly as well. I am as happy with this gun as any Colt, Bushmaster, or Armalite that I ever owned. In fact, I just purchased a second Superior Arms lower that I intend to use to assemble as a 24" varmint gun.

The Essential Arms lowers have been around for quite a while. The Superior Arms lowers have been around for only a couple of years or so. I would say are about equal to the Essential Arms lowers but the Superior lowers have the advantage of the trigger adjustment screw in its pistol grip. For this reason alone I would take the Superior Arms lower but you would not go wrong with the Essential lower either.
