Where at?

 

$40 poly lower: http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/firearms/receivers/ati-omni-stripped-lower-receiver.html
$70 SAA lower: http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1077

 

I built mine. About $740 into it customized how I want (minus optics)
Aero Precision makes the blanks that Armalite uses, so I went with an Aero Precision Lower and Upper, you can get both from Surplus Ammo Supply. Both Mil Spec.
Bolt Carrier group nickel boron plated, 6 position collapsable stock, dueck defense 45 degree back up sights, flash hider, found a small shop in Ohio that sells 5.56 barrels for $99 with 1 in 9 twist (better for 55gr bullets) Sniper grip handle, Extended Charging Handle. All the goodies, plus its always more fun to build your own.

 

my new toy. I am new to AR's this is my first, my buddy is into them big time and got me hooked up with this one. I am looking forward to taking it out this weekend and killing some pumpkins!!

 

DO NOT get a polymer lower. I've seen people do "budget builds" with them, they always snap at the buffer tube threads. spend the extra $70 and get an aluminum one.

 

i wouldn't get one unless it was a dedicated .22lr upper

 

THIS^^^^

Currently out of stock. They will have more soon.

 

Nice!!!

You mean you have a friend that knows a guy that heard about somebody on AR15.com that saw that happened this one time so they are all crap or you have personally witnessed this a number of times?

 

Anybody looking for any backup sights?

 

Ya but in black

 

What do you guys think about the SSAR-15 bump fire/slide fire stocks?? I have a couple of AR's and a couple of AK's and was thinking about one...pretty much for novelty use because 350.00 seems kind of steep. And it is pretty much a huge waste of ammo!!

 

They are a fun alternative to the hugely expensive select fire alternative. They are fairly easy to control the rate of fire and the muzzle rise is easy to control because of that. They are not the most comfortable stock to shoulder, but they are fun to have.

 

Daniel Defense M4V1....Loved it since the first "Clip" !!

 

Well I am sure it is more fun to play with than the POS HK416's here in Afghan land!! I used to love these until you actually have to operate with one, and then you learn real quick that they are crap in a highly used environment!!

 

Meh, I heard about the same from all my hardcore "buy American" friends. If I would have listened I wouldn't have a taco. I'll let you guys know if my lower snaps in half at the range.

 

The only problem I have heard about polymer lowers is that with time they get kind of squishy. Not that they catastrophically fail but they tend to give a little bit. I say go for it and if lowers are still legal in the next couple years, you can replace it if it does fail. Not a big deal. Personally I wouldn't run a carbine class with one.

 

We couldn't keep ours running for anything. The funny thing is we stopped using them another federal agency bought them off us. Agreed. Total junk.
