Man that sucks, sorry to hear that. I can't be of much help as I'm almost never in gun stores these days, however around October or so, there were some lowers for sale at Outdoor Emporium... I think there were two in the case. They were built though. Anyhow, you may try looking there? Less folks interested in buying them tend to be there from what I can tell, but you never know. It's kind of a good luck thing to see if there are any.

I saw some in West Coast Armory in Everett recently. Whatever you choose to do, call first, because that stuff flies off the shelf and you wouldn't want to be chasing ghosts all day.
For what it's worth, you might be just as well off to order one from DSG, Brownells, AIM, etc. and have it shipped to whatever FFL is easiest for you. As much as I prefer to support the local gun stores, the stores I've been into lately that have anything on the shelf are generally marking them up, into billet territory or they're passing off oddball stuff I wouldn't really buy anyway. |

I know the old Plum Crazy lowers often failed at the rear, taking the receiver extension with them. I was fairly impressed when talking to the guy who bought the rights a few years ago. He did some redesigning to obviate the previous weakness. I may be wrong, but I believe these are the poly lowers marketed by NFA in North Las Vegas.

I'll try to take some pictures tonight or tomorrow. It had about 600 rounds through it.

As an enginerd, I'm really curious now.. .I've always wondered if the failure in a polymer lower would come from near receiver extension. Did (receiver ext.) threads shear off or the whole back-castle just break break off? Forthcoming pics probably answer that, huh. |

I had intended it to be a 22lr lower, but plans changed.

Was just at Outdoor Emporium in Seattle this afternoon. They have Anderson stripped lowers. Price was just under $60, members get 5% discount off that price.
BTW, they have increased their fee for transfers- $75 for the first one for non-members, $50 for members, + $10 each additional firearm. Membership is $25/year. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fuck that noise. Is that the same with Sportco? Don’t know. Here’s a link to the website: Sportco - FFL firearm transfers At this time the website still shows $50, but doesn’t go into much detail, and says to call. Fifty dollars used to be the fee for non-members, and members got $10 off of that. ETA: their price for the Anderson stripped lowers does seem pretty good, considering the present market conditions. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fuck that noise. Is that the same with Sportco? It's gotta be as they are essentially the same store. I think they just never changed the name at Outdoor Emporium because it costs money to change the sign, lol. There is a possibility that there may be some additional Seattle specific tax that is being covered by doing the transfer within the Seattle city limits. Wouldn't surprise me at all. |

So it's a small crack, doesn't go all the way through. The anti rotation pins aren't overly tightened, but there is discoloration and that crack splitting off from it.
 Attached FileNot a "Critical Failure" by any means, but I'd rather not push it.  Attached FileDiscoloration on the other side too, but not spider webbed. |

I would bet that the short barrel and gas system have a lot to do with it. Probably a lot more stress and violence in that small system by comparison to a full sized rifle.

Get that plastic welding kit on Amazon and put a 22 upper on it.
Or throw it away. You do have choices. |

I plan to dedicate it to .22 lr AND buy a new lower.

If you don’t mind. What kind of hand guard do you have installed on that?

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you don’t mind. What kind of hand guard do you have installed on that? This was my super budget build. I got all the upper parts, sans comp and BCG for $120 from Combatarmory.com The lower was some no name from CA as well. All and all I think I have about $300 into it. |

I wonder exactly what it's made of and whether or not the oils you're using are weakening the material. Just got to thinking looking at the discoloration at the trigger pins and the crack itself.
