80% lower?

[wweigle]

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but with my limited searching skills I was not able to really find the info on the forum. Who are making the best 80% AR lowers. I'm familiar with Colfax, Tactical Machine, both with what appear to be long back order waits. Any others worth considering? The list of vendors does not really indicate what they sell without going to their site. I have to assume that this has been asked/discussed before on the forum, and was hoping that some can direct me to past posts where this question has been answered. Thanks

rifle gear has 80% in stock from TM, but the best 80% ive use would have to be from sun devil mfg.

yeah rifle gear just got a fresh shipment of the TM Anodized. Ares won't have any until January.

Vaderspade has raw 80% lowers with keyhole mark. The same as ares. 105 with custom engraving.

For the most bang for your buck, Quentin Defense.
I have one of these lowers and I must say.. I don't think that I will be going back to forged any time soon. These lowers are just THAT good. Well to me at least..

For the most bang for your buck, Quentin Defense. From what I understand, their billet 80%'s are made from 7075 aluminum, which is a slight step above the 'standard' forged 6061.

I think you have that backwards. TM-80's are 7075 and I believe the Quentin's are 6061.

I've built TMs and Ares Armor 80%s. Both worked well and had no issues on the CNC machines.

The cheapest that I have found are via the group buys. For Quentin-Defense, it's usually $150 shipped for an anodized AR10 80% (seen in post#2):

Other than that, Tactical-Machining comes to mind. But they are $200 a pop

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the responses. Got my order in with rifle gear. Called them. The salesman indicated that they only had a few of the TM anodized lowers left, and that the phone was ringing off the hook. Thanks again!
