They ship fast too. Bought it Monday night, FFL sent Tuesday, had it in hand on Thursday. In stock almost 4 hours now. Stock has been lasting longer this week. Is this an ok price for a RRA lower? How do I know if it's multi (5.56/2.23) |

+1 Joebob---> Beware of feeding the trolls, it only makes for a never ending handbag fight. & fwiw Although I didnt order from JB last night, (item out of stock) JB.com is much more active and helpful answering pre-purchace questions than most online retailers I've experienced. I will keep JoeBobs on my short list of retailers to use on other ar parts/ammo purchases. Quoted:
Sorry to all those who have to read this crap here instead of what this thread is for. Hope some of you got a little good info about our friends from joe bob weather it's good or bad. If troll means I was just stating facts and posting what they are doing then sure, I'm a troll. Sure they might be a good company for what you see and cool you ordered parts from them and got them in a timely manner. That's awesome that they are doing there job. But we all post here about the price gougers and above is a first hand proof of what is going on. Take it how you want and I will do the same. |

Oh well Haha, I wish the opposite. I would have rather had the Seekins lower, but too late now. I already built the RRA lower I got yesterday. Maybe next month I'll pick up a Seekins |

How do I know if it's multi (5.56/2.23) Its spendy for a forged lower and approaching billet prices. I'm limiting myself to $175 but they do keep going up. Sad to see PK following the trend. All lowers will do .223/ 5.56 even .300 ACC, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 rem. Unless of course its a .308 lower. The biggest difference in AR15 lowers is if you are building a pistol in some states it has to say its a pistol lower. This from a noob thats trying to pay attention |

How do I know if it's multi (5.56/2.23) It's multi, but says 5.56 on the lower. I had a lower on backorder somewhere else for $150, but it was approaching 6 weeks with nothing (promised in 3-4 weeks) so I cancelled. $225 was more than I wanted to pay, but to have it within 3 days of ordering, I'm glad I did. I got tired of waiting for the other lower and eager to start on my first build so I guess I paid a premium for it. |

Off topic, is the hammer made of plastic? Yes, the hammer, safety selecter, bolt catch, magazine release, trigger, detent pins, and sling attachment on the stock are all made of plastic. I was not aware of this when purchasing. The only reason I bought the complete lower is because I thought I was getting a good deal for a LPK included. I can't picture a composite hammer surviving the abuse of the bolt carrier's recoil. I guess I am paying the price for not doing more thorough research.

Well, that one is damaged obviously.
So far I've had a good experience with the Frontier complete poly lowers with both a 5.56 and a .300 blk upper. The single stage trigger has no creep at all to my numb fingers. Maybe I'm lucky. Mine came from Joe Bob's. |

In the past month, I've picked up a pre-ban Sendra, two Cav Arms, and the Seekins. Hoping to snag one more, and then look at some AK flats or hopefully an FAL receiver. |

My brand new out of the box New Frontier complete lower I just got from RifleGear That's the first we've seen of that type of crack out of the tens of thousands of them we've sold. It almost looks like it was wayyy over torqued based on the break? Forward pics and comments onto newfrontier via email and they'll replace it 1 for 1. I received this response less than 10 minutes from my email to NFA about my broken lower. I'm pretty satisfied with that. Hopefully the process of getting a new one doesn't take long. I just can't figure out how it broke like that when it was shipped in bubble wrap and the packaging was in perfect condition. Anyways, enough of the negativity for me today. Back to the lower hunt. At your convenience, please send your lower receiver, along with a completed copy of the attached Warranty Repair Form, and we will assess the lower receiver, make any repairs/adjustments (or replace it completely), and get it back to you as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we do back our products 100% with a lifetime warranty and will get you taken care of!

It was two NorthTechs from earlier today. I'm guessing by the time I was filling out my information there might have been a web burp. At least I was able to still get one. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for when they get back in.

How long is it taking Rainier to ship the Seekins lowers? Do they email shipping notices? My account still says pending from an order a couple says ago. I figured it would take a couple weeks to ship.
