Does anybody have a current list of brand names and who is machining them as of May 2012? I'm curious about Surplus Ammo and Delaware names in particular.
Thanks. |

I hate to break it, but that list couldn't be farther from the truth. The companies that do all of the machining don't advertise and don't want their names mentioned. LMT machines for LMT. Mega wasn't even around in 2007 and CMT is Marks dad (Stag owner).
Bottom line is the majority of the lowers out there either meet or exceed the military prints. |

AR shelf examples
According to these pictures, the 4 Aeroprecision lowers I have are definitely low shelf. Purchased 3 in late 2011-early 2012 and one in mid 2012. Serial # range for 3 of the 4 is US39xxx. The 4th is US46xxx |

Great pics and information. I have two RRA rifles. One is CMT and the other is AV(Brass Aluminium Forging Enterprises in Ferndale, Michigan). Both are well made and have excellent milling and finish. The AV receiver is much harder then tne CMT, my son is a geologist and hardness tested them with his machine. I was wondering if the hardness of the AV was good or bad as a receiver quality. I always stamp the inside of my receivers before I add them to my collection and I could'nt even scratch the AV receiver with my carbide stamp. Any thoughts would be appreciated. MWallace

I am selling Anderson AR lowers that are standard Mil-spec at a price that not many can turn down. I open my business to educate and help promote the black rifle era. We have First production runs at 89.00 and Seconds lowers for 68.99. I am not certain if there are any other deals like this in the US. But as long as I make a little money, I am happy!
Gunmeisters.com 859-918-6734 KY state residents only unless I ship to FFL in your state of residence. All stripped lowers are considered as a pistol unless otherwise identified as a rifle by Manufacture. JUST THE LAW Sorry. We are located in Burlington,Ky 41005 |

We are located in Burlington,Ky 41005 You may wanna read a little more on the rules/laws of selling certain firearms. The only firearms that a licensed dealer may sell to a person under 21 or out of state res. is a completed long gun (guns w/ a butt stock, no pistol gripped shotguns). A stripped lower is a stripped lower and must only be transfered to persons 21 y/o + and to a res. of your state (if you're a dealer). ATF doesn't care if XYZ Mfg. sold the stripped lower as a "rifle only" receiver. If you are a private ind. you may sell pretty much anything to someone who is 18y/o + and a res. of your state. |

Can anyone tell me anything about these lowers:
http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1AR57SL AIM Surplus is selling them right now. It looks like the receiver is marked "AR57" near the trigger group. Additionally, the "AR FIFTEEN" logo looks very similar to the "AR FIVE SEVEN" logo on the 5.7mm uppers. |

All of Sabre's parts afre built "in-house". I live about 20 minutes from them (well since they got in trouble it's pretty quiet) but the fit and finish on Sabre's is second to none. I love mine.

Lauer Custom Weaponry lowers- Both Superior and LMT have done lowers for Lauer. Easy way to tell the difference, look at the serial number prefix. "SML" is an LMT lower, and "SMS" is a Superior lower.
On a side note LMT refuses to run any 'non-LMT' stamped lowers for anybody until they are caught up with their own, so that's going to be a LONG, LONG, time. |

I was wondering if anyone know about the Ruger SRs, and if they are high or low shelf. I do know that the underside of the uppers are milled for the auto sear, but I'm not sure how to tell on the actual lower.

Hey guys I have a Stag Model 2 AR that I bought a couple years ago, and I am comfortable enough with it now that I have decided to build my own. I was out at a local gun store today and they had American Tactical OMNI stripped lowers for 56 bucks, I got one. I was just wondering if there were certain uppers and LPK's that worked better with the polymer OMNI lowers. Like I said this will be my first build so I will probably have a bunch more questions later on down the road, and I don't plan on getting anything else major for a while. Maybe just a few little things for it, It will mainly be for target shooting because my other rifle will be my main one.
Thanks, Brady |

Where does Tacticle Machining out of Florida fit in here? They do 100%, 80% for themselves, but do they do any for other labels? Are they forged?
