Re: Poly Lower Receivers?
They're actually MORE mil-spec than aluminum lowers, in fact. That's why you'll find that the mating between the upper and lower on a New Frontier Armory lower is extremely snug with no "slop".baldeagle wrote:The polys are milspec.RECIT wrote:The cav-arms lowers have been around for years.

I don't fear guns; I fear voters and politicians that fear guns.
Re: Poly Lower Receivers?
I definitely agree. my current precision AR is a rather odd frankenstein of a rock river pursuit upper on a NFA-poly lower, with a RR match 2-stage trigger. nice, snug fit and everything works in harmony to let me consistently ring 4" steels at 200 yds with cheapo steel-case ammo. the bull-barrel upper mated with a very light lower does make for a pretty front-heavy rifle, but this doesn't really cause me much heartburn.OldCannon wrote:
