Why???? They are heavier than regular upper/lower and there is no benefit to the increased weight. Aluminum receivers are plenty strong.

Billet Aluminum, or some other fancy recievers would stand out from other AR's w/o the drawbacks of Ti. |

All the uppers and complete lowers are made of out aluminum. I have seen 80% lowers made of titinum and brillum copper. I would stick to a std. Upper lower combo. If you want it to std out go with a Billet upper and lower and have it bead blasted then polished too a mirror shine!
 PS not makeing fun of you I have seen one done that way Very Cool!

 titanium is a bitch on tooling and takes some serious know-how to machine |

DPMS makes/made a stainless lower. Olympic was going to make a titanium lower at one point, I don't know if they ever did. The DPMS SS lowers were heavy and looked like shit. A friend of mine had one (came as a complete gun from DPMS) and the it was unreliable (don't know whether the lower was a factor or just that it was a DPMS).
