zero functional differences, assuming both are machined to current military drawing less the rear shelf and auto sear hole dimensions.

No difference.
Forged is stronger, but the lower receiver is just there to hold parts together. With the exception of needing to hold the buffer tube inline with the upper BCG, there's not much strain on the part, so billet works just fine and can be designed to appeal to a more dandy crowd.

For those who say forged is better or the same thing just different price, are you guys professional metallurgists? Or are these merely your opinions?Last edited by CarterPewterschmidt; 04-11-2013, 5:00 PM.Comment

The forged ones are usually made of a slightly better grade of aluminum that is a little harder than the billet ones.I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...

Some billet lowers have some extra features which some may find desirable like integrated trigger guards, ambi controls. That's about it reallyThe California Moderate Centrist Militia member in exile
