Any one tried one of the ar15 lowers they have listed in the new products pages that has the M16 cut trigger pocket? Just wonder how the product looked fit and finish. Thanks. https://www.brownells.com/gun-parts/rifle-parts/rifle-receivers-parts/brn-15-stripped-forged-lower-receiver/ |

Thanks. https://www.brownells.com/gun-parts/rifle-parts/rifle-receivers-parts/brn-15-stripped-forged-lower-receiver/ I'm the GunTech that wrote the article listed on the thread here. Long story short, it looks great, and I wasn't kidding when I talked about looking between the PSA lower I was building with versus our new lower. I wish I had the option to go back and wait. I would have taken the Brownell's lower, no problem. |

I'll be sure to never bring up another new Brownell's product in a topic again. I don't see a problem with someone pointing out something that might make a product less desirable to some. |

Guess I might have to use one of the free accuwedges some company threw in as a free perk to get rid of any receiver play if I ordered one made without the tension screw that was never really needed. |
