Raw Forgings

[Agent Tikki]

I'm interested in buying a bunch or raw forgings for AR15s, can you even buy them directly from the Forge?

Brass Aluminum Forging Enterprises in Michigan sells small and large quantities... i believe they were going for like $13/ea for 1-100 a couple years ago...

You'll have to call them, and they are probably WAY out of stock.

Admittedly that is an older source and i dont know how responsive they are these days or what their prices are... Let us know how it goes!

yeah guys the reason i linked the site I did was b/c their prices were 50% or less compared to other known vendors like DSA... but i guess they are options too.

Their cost probably went up also as the cost of raw materials have really gone up in the past couple of years.

Last time I was at the Del Mar gun show JD machine had broached lowers for $25. That it what i built my two AR's On as I had no idea there was an 80% available. I don't suggest getting these unless you really want to do a lot of machine work. Or you have a CNC and fixtures.

Also Anchor Harvey makes some but most of these forging companies are waay backlogged right now...

I know some big companies that are struggling to find forgings...

I have a line on 2,700 qty through a new company and they were super hard to get for them.
