I just received this custom laser engraved billet lower from shadowopsweaponry.com after a 2 year wait!! Thats a entirly differnt story dealing with this shop. I would avoid them at all costs. seriously it takes a lot to upset me.
Anyways i picked up this much anticipated lower and first thing i see is the obvious tooling mark right under the roll mark. are you kidding me, seriously?!? make me wait 2 years, force me to cancel all my other orders with this shop because they can't return a email or phone call. I had over $1k of orders with shadow ops weaponry that had been processing for 1+ years. I ended up having to dispute all the pending orders with my credit card company to get my money back. luckily i had some emails of the shop stating that the items would be delivered on specific dates that came and passed and still fell withing the time to dispute a charge. Could have been a nice lower yeah? |

Longmont, huh? View Quote That's what I was thinking. .. I'm not too far. Never heard of them...thankfully |

Pics found on Reddit with someone saying they were bankrupt. Don't know, never dealt with them.

Two years for that? I assume that you could of had a metric shit-ton on forged lowers for the price of that lower...

Fix the rough spots with a file and sandpaper. AO blast. Cerakote. Move on,
|

Nice geodes.
Mask off the logo and paint over everthing but "Shit fuck up" |

That's a hideous laser engraving. Never mind the machine marks.

Throw it down your driveway, bring it to a few Cola Warrior events and carry it everywhere for a few months. It'll look better.

You need a Noveske gen2 lower to replace that one.
Blast everything off it, take to someone you trust to clean the machine marks up, and cerakote it. I'd never wait 2 years for anything. |

Nobody has jumped on join date and post count yet? Or is everyone too distracted by the hideous laser engraving?

I don't know why people order from these fly by night type places. Seems to be at least one thread a week about it.
|
|
The only course of action left is to bandsaw it into a few pieces and send it back.

How is the tooling inside?
Is it to spec? If so, who cares. If not, well, then there is reason to be pissed (at least, aside form "my gun isn't pretty!"). ETA::BTW, Nice geodes. |
|
thats the kind of thing i would expect to be written on a bong
colorado you say? |
|
|
Krylon + driveway = fixt
And that rollmark is #bdaf (Basement dwelling as fuck) |
|
Not to mention most everyone that received a billet lower has a buffer detent spring hole that is not to spec and is causing issues.
|

Nice machining would be a waste on that abortion. Even fly by night place said "He wants what? Use one of the scrap lowers from the batch my little sister messed up."

After all the comments, I am so very glad I waited until I sobered up to order my own Combichrist lower.... seeing it in the wild, yeah, good call.

You didn't wait two years, stop exaggerating. They took orders in January. I had an order number in the 1400s and got mine months ago. Were they slow, yes, but not two years.

I dunno... "This Shit Will Fuck You Up" lower, "Shadow Ops"..what were you expecting?
I don't think I care..I would expect nothing less, actually. ETA: There is a reason why reputable companies are not spending time on "This Shit Will Fuck You Up". |
|
It's Billet !!
Looks normal for a billet machined lower, build it and enjoy it. |
|
That lower is retarded and OP is a retard for spending money on it.
