Thoughts on these?

Thinking about buying one stripped.

I've sold hundreds. Never had complaints and many customers come back to buy more. That being said, there ARE differences in poly lowers. Do your research.
I don't fear guns; I fear voters and politicians that fear guns.

Why are you wanting a poly lower? Is it just availability or is there another reason?

I love them and have recommended them to my friends. Between my friends and myself we with have 15 ARs built with the New Frontier Armory lowers. 5 were complete lowers and the others were stripped lowers.

Just availability and price.

I'm still two-thumbs-up on my NFA (New Frontier Armory) complete lower.
I posted recently about it in a bit more detail on a similar thread. Search should find it for you.

Dang, they don't put up with it do they? From their registration page, which I did not do:
It is unlikely that you will have anything to add to the majority of this forum if you have never carried a gun on a daily basis. It is very unlikely that you will have anything to add to this forum if you have only played paintball or Airsoft. That doesn't mean we don't welcome you; it simply means that we expect you to keep your mouth shut and just read.

There will be no warnings. You will simply be banned the first time you are out of line...no ifs, ands, or buts.
Maybe we could use a little of this here. :biggrinjester:

The cav-arms lowers have been around for years. I personally like them and have handled a rifle that used one. I thought the rifle was a little front heavy or unbalanced, but not bad. Honestly that would be nit picking. I like the fixed stock as well. The complete NFA lowers I have seen had an adjustable stock. The cav-arms lowers were the first to hit the market, NFA is a relatively new company but I have heard nothing but good news from them. For a plinking/fun/range type gun I would not hesitate to use either option. For a work gun I would stick to mil-spec for sure.
