Are the 308 ArmaLite lowers actually comming?

[BigMac]

And I will never understand why. The Armilite does not work very well. At least mine doesn't.

[Prc329]

Sounds like everyone is working on some sort of Armalite based .308 lower. That is why I just ordered a barrel, LPK, and a buttstock for one! I ordered my parts before this thread so that might hint I am working on it too. That is why I haven't gone POF or Fulton (I would go Fulton after they hosed me anyway).

You got some splaining to do, Lucy.

Man you just want all my cash.

[JPB]

The main reason I want an "Armalite" spec lower is so I can throw a Noveske upper on it! Rumor mill also has Noveske releasing a .308 lower soon. One can only wish. Seems like a hoppin' market right now (.308 ARs). I only wish someone was delivering the goods. Seems like all I'm doing is waiting for LWRC, POF, RRA, Magpul, and FN to start manufacturing and shipping with regularity!

There is a bad one in every batch no matter who makes it.

Aren't we all.......you could always get a HK or a SIG to tide you over.....

An ARMALITE compatible lwr should be available in TWO WEEKS..

They won't be available in large numbers and won't cost much less than what is out there right now....

As usual RIFLES are what they want to sell and not LWRS......

You would go FULTON.......I am suprised......

[MrLogan]

They are supposed to be making lowers for other companies with different logos and names on it.

Ooh. If that is the case, I'd be all over it.

Calguns AR-10 anyone???

[aplinker]

Calguns AR-10 anyone???

You have to be a firearms manufacturer. The only thing harder to get than an FFL-01...

Hence my suggestion that Enterprise step up

[hitman13]

im pretty sure i know of a private maufacturer. Ill look into it.

[1hotrod]

So, is the private name brand that everyone is talking about from CNCgunsmithing or someone else?

Does this mean, it will be a 80% lower, and all I need to do, is purchase a lpk for it complete it.

Someone else.
They would be 100% complete receivers.
