Default Re: AR 15 lower choices

The billet lowers are not out yet. This first batch still has to go to anodize. As soon as I get complete product in hand I will post pictures. These are milled from billet 7075 aluminum with integral enlarged trigger guard. Comes with a set screw adjustment to take up any loose fit from your upper without resorting to an Accuwedge.

The biggest reason many people choose billet over forged is because they look cooler. We chose to go billet because we are using billet uppers and they mate up better than any forged receiver. These lowers will be on our top-tier AR-15 rifles, we are staying with forged for the entry-level guns (upper and lower). We will be coating the uppers in black, of course, but also FDE and OD green. Bullet pictogram markings with enamel highlighting.
