NON FFL AR Lower for $25-

[mvee]

These are kits that contain parts that can be used to manufacture lowers for the AR15. I have no association with this company. I don't know a lot about how a steel lower would work, but this is an option to get a AR before the deadline and it is only $25 for the kit.

I'd be interested in hearing opinions on this and also how many will pull the trigger on this one.

Looks like a screw build I did in 1990.

depending on the steel the biggest drawback would be rust, everywhere.

This guy is top notch, he has been in business for a while and his other stuff plain works.

I love seeing this kind of stuff, gun grabbers can talk all the smack they want about stopping the proliferation of firearms but it is a lost batter. Good luck stopping the AR platform or home builders on other platforms. It's not going to happen, there is too much technology in the hands of the public to prevent firearms from existing.

I would get one, but looks like it requires welding. Operating a drill press is one thing, the safety and strength of a receiver relying on my welding skills, which is none, is another. Looks like a good idea if you know how to weld though.

cool.

My neighbor is a machinist and has all the tools.
I showed him this and he loved it.

As for rust... Straight steel would be a prime candidate for parkerizing everything. I am wondering though, how much that would alter the tolerances.

There are enough options for coating between chemical bluing, to dura-coating / Cerakoting....
Weight and necessary skill would be my two biggest draw backs.

Since rust is always an issue when welding ( the joint will rust fro the inside out) just use some Weld Thru Primer . Stuff is great for replacing sheet metal panels on a car just wear a respirator (not a mask)

This looks like an ideal platform for mounting one of the 50BMG uppers, especially one of the single-shots. Strength when properly welded would be far superior to aluminum.

Ugly as home-made sin, though!!!

Does this fall under the same category as an 80% lower, with no serial number, no need to register, no waiting period, etc. ?

 

[1King]

Has anyone build one of these?

Call me crazy but:
Almost every mating surface is flat plate to flat plate. I'm just wondering whether JB Weld would do it. Rough it up first then clamp it in a vise and let it cure 1 joint at a time.
Only identified 3 places that are edge joints, and would need a tack weld. For 25 bucks it could be fun to try.

 

[KingGeorge]

So did anybody get one of these and try it out?

I would think the added thickness of the JB Weld could screw things up.
