Don't knock it till you try it. Fit and finish is perfect. I put Magpul furniture on mine and it makes for a nice very light AR build.Comment

I'm not very knowledgeable in the AR world but what's the appeal of a polymer lower?"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

For me it was weight then price.Comment

Weight savings better be substantial. You can do better on price as well if you're gonna throw magpul furniture on it anyway."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

The lower doesnt have much pressure/force applied to it when shooting. so going to a polymer allows for the cost of mfring, it is also lighter.Originally posted by dee View Post
Those 2 reasons are why people buy them. Whether they have any structural issues is debatable since failures are made more public than the success stories.Comment

too bad there isn't some magical way to lighten up an ar-10
that would be cool. just the BCG weighs a ton more than an ar-15'sComment

I weighed my PSA lower with magpul stuff vs. the the NFA and it was about 8oz different.Comment

I understand that there's no pressure to little on the lower but is the weight savings that large.Originally posted by John -- '02 HAWK View Post"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

I've tried them, I think they are pretty crappy. Barrel profile can cut 3x the weight than a plastic lower.Originally posted by Toy Cobra View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I stand corrected.Comment

I use to advocate polymer lowers for the advantages you described, but a lot more manufacturers came into the fold and a lot more problems started to pop up. My neighbor bought one and the rear cracked like many do, and since then I can't recommend them anymore.Originally posted by Toy Cobra View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

i picked one up, i figure for a dedicated 22lr setup, it will be perfect & inexpensive.
the reports i have found thus far, have been significantly better than vulcan (anything is better than these guys) & plum crazyComment

The combination of the weight out at the end of the barrel and the major chunks of steel being cut (either pencil or M4 profile).
Hence why for my wife I went M4 14.7 with a pinned flashhider on a polymer lower. Easy for her to cart around... and I'll admit I can hold it a lot more while standing.
But... a lot more felt recoil (I'm tempted to to mess with the buffers) vs. the 20" that I shoot.Comment
