if you didn't have to have fancy licenses, I'd pick up a few of those just to assemble and sell! lol

My fiancee won't let me buy any more guns until the wedding is over... grrr. This is the 2nd time I've passed on this deal. Let me live vicariously through the rest of you!

Why get one of these when you can get a better Lower from Reaper Tactical, who is also a site sponsor!

His lowers aren't available yet, and they're not $50. If he runs as $50 promotion, I'll buy 2, and I'll even drive to Hortonville to pick them up (as opposed to waiting for a gun show in Waukesha).

And you know their better because?????

I applaud fivonut for all his hard work starting his own company and getting parts made for him with his company's name on it but a bargain is a bargain when it comes to mil standard parts made by a competitor.

Anyone local(milwaukee) with a ffl to pick up a couple of these?

By the time you pay for shipping and transfer you'll be right back up to what fivonut is selling his for. So you can decided whether or not to support a sponsor or not.

But I don't have a dog in this fight either way, since I don't plan on buying either at this time. Not in the AR market.

Thanks for the kind words guys!! I'm not offended. Low price lowers are all over the place. There are 100's of companies offering AR receivers, it's very difficult to distinguish yourself. This is one of the reasons I'm starting off with a themed lower that no one has seen in the market. I've gotten some very good initial feedback from others in the industry, I expect my lowers to get my name out there fast.

You won't be seeing these kinds of deals from me unfortunately. PSA's price on these lowers is a very significant amount LESS than what my lowers cost me. The reason I can charge more for mine comes down to fit and finish. Mega Arms (who manufactures my lowers for me) got started in the aerospace industry, they have the machines and tooling for very strict tolerances, and their quality checks are sufficient enough to maintain them. Most of what you'll see comparing lower priced lowers to higher priced lowers are coloring and consistency of the anodizing, existence or lack there of, of flashing from the forging process, and existence or lack there of, of tooling marks.

I could have shopped some other companies that machine receivers on a variance and ended up with a part that cost less than $100, but I believe the value of spending a little extra for a cleaner part speaks for itself.

So, thanks again, for the kind words!! The price on these is hard to beat and they should work fine. When it comes time to fill them with parts, keep me in mind!!

Hell yeah it's cheap, I refuse to pay $6 for 20rds when I can wait a week or two or try different stores and get 20rds for $5 Any cheaper and it'll be approaching .22LR money. <3 my AK and looking forward to doing a lot more business with Reaper!

Can't be much cheaper than the crap I shoot through my current AR lol. Although, this batch of Wolf WPA/Military Classic I got has been giving me issues, but this thing eats Tula like nobody's business.
