Sounds like a Double Star roll mark. Did it look like this?

I've shot a couple built on their lowers. They seem to work fine. I haven't heard any issues with them. I'd be more concerned with who assembled the rifle and how it was assembled; rather than which upper and lower they used. Most of the problems you will encounter are with the BCG. I would have no problem buying a properly assembled rifle built on Double Star receivers using a quality barrel, receiver extension, lpk and bcg.
I've built two doublestar lowers into great shooting rifles so far,,, and that one in the pic is my next project.
Never had a problem. You'll hear a lot of guy swearing that you should use this brand or that brand,,, blah blah,,, ...
I've built on Bushmaster, RRA, Superior and Doublestar (all stripped) lowers so far,, and I've come to the conclusion that as far as the stripped lower goes, thery're pretty much all the same. I won't use another Superior because the won't fit my Thermold mags..
But Doublestar quality is Great, I'll definately buy some more.. You can sure pay more for a different mark on the lower if you want to....
I do however like to use RRA LPK's in everything.
The accuracy is all wrapped up in the upper, and that's a whole 'nother story...

Doublestar builds their own rifles, but I have only seen/shot rifles that were built from their stripped lowers. I've never seen a complete rifle that came from their factory. So, I can't comment on how they are assembled at the factory or what parts they use on their factory rifles.
In that price range, you could buy an assembled lower of your choice and buy an LMT upper with BCG and have a very nice rifle. An LMT complete lower will cost you about $350 and a complete LMT upper with BCG will cost about $550. Pin the two together and you're set.
Jacobie,,, read this link fow a while,, it'll get you up to speed on what you're getting into if you consider building one.

I shoot with a lot of guys who would rather just pick the complete rifle up and enjoy it as that. Building them is a totally seperate passion that not everyone enjoys.
