Old thread: I'm trying to build baby's first poverty rifle and I came across this carbon fiber lower on GunBroker. I'm usually skeptical of anything gimmicky like this, but the fact that it has a lifetime warranty is enticing. Having a lower which is half the weight of an aluminum lower is also attractive. Have you guys heard anything about these lowers?

"no"

Plan on using that warranty a lot, or at least until that company goes out of business. Otherwise, hard pass.

When I can pick up Aero M4E1 lowers for like $60, I see zero appeal to some no-name polymer lower that's 20 bucks cheaper.

It's not carbon. There are strands of carbon in it, but it isn't carbon.

Can you guys help me identify these rail covers? Also, what’s a good way to mount a light using a top rail?

Are BUIS a meme? I dont think I would ever use them and dont want the weight.

A KAC 600m rear weighs less than 1.5oz. How fucking weak are you?

Does the g33 magnifier interfere with your peripheral vision when it isn't engaged? Thinking about picking one up for my home defense AR with an eotech on it.
William Moore
It adds a second optic-sized object in the middle of your field of view. What do you think?

Yes

You can change which way it flips so it’ll be out of your FOV depending if you’re right or left handed

Why would you ever buy a plastic lower when you can get a metal PSA one for the exact same price

Why yes, lowers like those with that low, wide shelf require only one modification before you're able to install a Safety Sear (it protects against hammer follow in the event that your trigger disconnector fails)
Hunter Kelly
Fire* control parts.
All I want is semi auto standard specs, measurements, etc.
Cooper Wood
Bruh PSA has them for like the same price and they are all metal. Dont be dumb.

Probably not wanting to drop $160 on a back up rar sight.

You can't crush, burn, or saw those as quickly as a polymer lower, silly boy
Jaxon Brooks
Isn't it far more difficult to get the internal bits than to drill the holes?
Charles Barnes
Yes
Cameron Thompson
I don't trust those, I had one with overmolded inserts that worked, but get yourself a decent aluminum lower for your first AR.
Asher Ross
lads who have built AR10s, did you test for headspace or is it an overblown meme?
Is this an acceptable method of checking for headspace with out the use of gauges?

I have a 20 inch AR and I found a company that does OD A2 and M4 style furniture. I'm seriously considering buying some and making a C8 clone.
Bentley Hughes

Anthony Hughes
just don't bother with cloning the optic. piece of shit two decade old fixed 3.4x that costs $2000
Landon Brown
What if, and hear me out, someone gave you a plastic 80% lower for freebies? And what if, and hear me out, you had a bunch of left over assorted spare parts so that all you needed to buy was a gas tube, gas block, and bcg?
Andrew Stewart
Not orig. user, but why do people do that to ARs, having a scope instead of a sight on it just makes it look retarded imo
Christian Russell
>>Not when the shelf is already milled out for you
>What is anything not old Colt
Connor Rodriguez
unless you want to buy an LMT, you can't clone a C8 since they have monolithic uppers
Evan Walker
>having a scope instead of a sight on it
opinion dismissed, noguns
Ethan Bailey
This, BUIS weight is practically non-existent
William Hall
Those sights are actually already too short to obscure your optic because they are supposed to be installed onto an HK416 12-o'-clock rail, which are taller than the A3 Flattop
Lucas Adams
What geiselle trigger do I want? Thinking the rapid fire. It's for a home defense SBR build.
Colton Scott
no dummy, they would literally be in the way of any LPVO that extends backwards towards the charging handle. they're too tall.
Bentley Long
ssae
David Moore
Only thing going on this would be an EOTech or some other dot/holo, so it doesn't matter much to me. They actually seem almost perfect for the height of my OKP, so I'd imagine with something like an EOTech it'd be about 1/3 cowitness.

Because they want to shoot closer things faster or farther away things. Doesn't matter what the rifle is, glass is better than irons if your intention is to shoot things.
Jace Rodriguez
How does that make it easy to acquire the internals?
Andrew Jones
you might as well be posting one of those unmarked govt overrun b5's brownells sell for $50

Low shelf is not the same thing as M16 shelf. Most of them including yours probably look like this, which is based on the Sporter II minus the sear block
Is that barrel free floating?

Your pistol grip looks a bit ground down, they sell Magpul MOE+ grips y'know

Regardless, I don't even use a Magpul grip anymore.

an upper where the handguard is an integral part of the upper receiver, much like the C8 produced by Colt Canada?

Although is not an argument, the C8 looks like its hand guard could be replaced with little to no tooling

Ah, excuse my ignorance.

Tyler Parker
Dude I have that brace and love it. Honestly see no need to go SBR with something that nice. I'm 6'3" and can run a magnified optic with no eye relief issues at all.

I used to think the same, but then I put an efile in and it took 9 days total to get approved. $200 isn't that much money and stocks are a lot more comfortable.

A place over the line into commie MD, Engage Armament. Didn't feel like shipping my lower out, they were about 1.5 hours away from me.

Is that trigger guard as comfy as it looks?
Liam Ward
Anyone a POF Renegade+?
It has everything I want in a pistol, but I’m apprehensive into’ing $1900
And why do the majority or builders not go shorter than like 10” on 300? 9” is optimal for length/performance and with a can on you’ll reach that if it’s 8.5”
William Allen
Cost me a lot more than just the engraving, I was talking to the guy about wanting to do an AK-104ish clone SBR and he pulled a 107CR out of the back that they were about to chop and sell as an SBR. Engraving cost me more than expected :^)
Price for engraving was pretty reasonable though. Think it was $45 or something. They're a cool little manufacturer, they have their own lowers and they build AK's from parts kits n shit.
It's alright, nothing special really. Same as anything else honestly.
Dominic Myers
Do I need an AR pistol in my arsenal?
Currently I have one complete AR.
A 14.5" pinned & welded to meet NFA requirements.
Is there a point to building a 10.3 or 11.5? 4 inches saved doesn't seem like much.
Wyatt Baker
>need
no, not really. but... why not?
Nolan Rogers
11.5 is goat
Blake Lee
I mean, I want one because I want another AR to have. But I was just wondering if there was anything else I should do first.
I am currently only sticking with 5.56 as I like to worry about as few calibers as possible and do not reload.
Oliver Lopez
>4 inches saved doesn't seem like much.
i recently assembled an 11.5" rifle and then compared it to a very similar pinned 14.7" rifle and it really isnt a big difference at all.
in my head, i thought a 11.5" or 10.5" would be really short but like you said, its only 3-4" in difference, its really not a "big deal" for lack of a better phrase
Dominic Robinson
You need a 20" before a 10.5", imo.
Carter Reed
what's a rail like this that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
Isaiah Lewis
with just kind of guessing for what youd like, id say an alg rail (on sale of course)
Adrian Thomas
Midwest Industries is the budget option.
