Polymer Lower

[peter209]

If you want to go polymer then I suggest the New Frontier. Both mine, and my brother's, have been flawless through the thousands of rounds we have put through ours. It might be also worth mentioning that he has a bad habit of not cleaning his guns as much as he should and he's still never had a issue. Check out the torture test videos New Frontier put on youtube of their LW-15 lower. Another plus, their customer service has been great in answering all my questions.

Yeah I'm looking at that too specially the one with the stock and LPK already installed, right now they are going for $134.00 + tax & DROSS at Ammo Bros, since my intention at this is just to have a polymer AR that is as basic as it comes, something i dont have yet.

That's the one I got. It was my first build because of the great price and overall I'm pretty satisfied from it. Like I said, I have no issues with it for what it is. I assume this wouldn't be a go to war gun and more like a bench/fun gun. Something to keep in mind is that the standard buffer tube on the New Frontier complete lower is commercial size, which shouldn't be a deal breaker for any reason for keeping it as simple as possible.

I went for a Bushmaster Carbon-15 lower...

I try not to deal with Bushmaster for a while, till they get there act together. I got the folding stock for my ACR for like 6 weeks from now and still nothing every time I call them I hear the same old excuse "It Is Still in Back order"

I can probably name 20 good companies that would do the same thing these days.

Yeah I know, and because of that we as a consumer are starting to take it as normal which shouldn't be the case.

A company should tell there consumer right at there website if they have the part on stock or not and what is the normal waiting period for it to be available. I don't mind if I have to wait even for a year just as long as when I did order the part I was already told how long should I have to wait for it rather than "ADD TO CART", "CHECKOUT", then I'm sorry it's on back order with no availability date.

You get what you pay for! Buy a aluminum 7075 lower receiver and spend your money right the first time. Beside the first time that polymer receiver is broken, your money is down the drain.

You know what your absolutely right, but the thing is I have Aluminum receivers already, and the whole purpose of this build is to build something I dont have yet. So I'm seriously considering either Polymer or Magnesium, the only thing that is stopping me from going magnesium is that "magnesium is flammable"

Probably what they thought when Glocks hit the scene.

[jasonnorcal]

Except Glocks were designed polymer from the beginning and AR's were not

New frontier polymer lowers come with a lifetime warranty and I expect them to honor it if it was damaged or cracked
