[ARCHIVED THREAD] - dennysguns new lower recievers are the shizznit!! (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 6/12/2006 11:01:32 AM EDT

well i got a second lower from dennys and in comparison to some of the other brand lowers i have i am going to have to agree with denny, the new lowers are one of the better ones!!

to start i am a bushmaster follower and love their lowers and would pick them over any other when in doubt. majority of my armory are on bushmaster lowers. in no way am affiliated with dennysguns/global tactical other than my money always being sent to him. with his quality products and great customer service i seriously doubt that anyone needs to be bought anyways.

the newest batch is much smoother finish all around, rollmarks are just about perfect and priced at a steal!

some pics i snapped of it bare the new gts lower was not cleaned or oil in any of these pictures and after oiling it was slightly darker matching the keyhole upper very nicely and almost an exact match with the cmt upper recievers.

second batch gts lower mated to .50 beowulf upper

2nd batch gts lower and bushmaster keyhole upper

2nd batch gts lower with colt 6450 9mm upper

2nd batch gts lower fire control pics

some others to compare

random pic of the front magwell, the two top ones are the gts lowers.

rollmark pics

gts 1st batch, notice the roughness and uneven rollmark.

gts 2nd batch, perfect rollmark and smooth finish

various other rollmarks.

bushmaster L recoated with flat-black moly resin

bfi lower

AA beowulf lower, one of the nicest rollmarks i have seen and the gts is comparable.

colt

a picture of the two gts lowers together

rear shot with the 1st batch on the left and new one on the right. in this pic you can see how smooth the second one is.

trigger guard pic

the two gts

all of the lowers compared to

the last few pics make the lower look sorta gray but it was due to it laying flat while the others are at an angle. 12'oclock sun was shining directly on it. also note that it hasnt been used or oiled like the others.

with the second lower it will be built into a .22lr suppressed sbr for the wifey so as soon as paperwork return for it i will post more pics of it. the first one will be used to swap out the lower that is on my recon rifle built with dennys recon bbl.

the lower is a great deal when compared to the others in the market and supporting a great guy at the same time.

other lowers i have compared this to:

dpms
eagle arms
rra
bushmaster (both series)
colt
AA
essential arms
ameetec arms
mega

and the gts is a hard to beat in overall finish and quality.

heres the link to globaltactical's lowers on the website.

Wow!

Excellent report!

Thanks for taking the time to put that together, it really shows the variations well.
I think Denny just might have the best deal going on lowers right now.

I have a 1st gen. that has a frighteningly similar sn# to yours...

Ek

Thank you for taking all your time on your report. This was a tremendous effort on your part.

Your pictures are better than excellent.

I need you up in KC to take all my pics

Mine generally suck compared to your expertise with camera. Great detail, color, focus. Your close ups are incredible.

Sincerely, I thank you once again.

no logo period, and imho the new ones have a better finish and rollmark.

I plan on buying one soon as I get some more money. I will let is sit around until I decide to build something.

Yes, the roll marks are deeper and better on this batch as are the selector markings.

Very nice show and tell !
Those are some great looking lowers.

they are pretty much perfect!

well i just found out the dpms stop production or whatever on there uppers so dont know what to go for now.

Posted: 6/17/2006 4:02:49 AM EDT

[#18]

Wow! Those rollmarks are way nicer compared to the first batch. Wasn't the first batch returned to Stag for re-anodizing? Maybe that's why the finish is different...

I like not having caliber markings and you don't see SAFE - SEMI on any AR's without AUTO following it. It's the little things that make it unique. I just mailed in my Form 1 for my GT Lower and I will be getting one in the next few months for a 'regular' sized rifle.

Nice pics and write up. Good job!

I talked late last night with Steve Sawyer of Tom Sawyer Mfg and I am going to send 11 of my lowers to him to be marked SBR[/b. He will also be adding the BATF required DennysGuns NKC, MO marking to the front of the magwell. I will register them as Short barreled rifles with ATF and when the Form 2's come back they will be available on a Form 3 for dealers or to individuals to be shipped to their class 3 dealers in their respective states.

There will be 10 for sale as one will be mine.

Denny

PS The SBR MODEL will be $215 to cover marking costs from Steve, shipping back and forth and paperwork etc.

DAMN! I would have bought one!

I like it if it didnt have the GT logo

but I dont like most any logo

Even my Favorite THe SNAKE

caliber and SN# only on the magwell

Posted: 6/17/2006 12:49:56 PM EDT

[#22]

I like them too. I've sold all my other lowers off and am only using the GTS lowers.

Four from the first batch, 2 from the complete lower batch and 1 from the 2nd batch.

Top complete lower batch, middle 2nd batch, bottom 1st batch

Excellent! I plan on getting a GT lower in the near future...

Just out of curiosity, at what serial number did the 2nd batch start from?

Denny,

I just spoke with you on the phone about a Noveske barreled upper and one of these lowers. I was going to order it from the website, but do I just need to fax my dealer's FFL? Thanks.

Denny, how about this, can I pick up a stripped lower at your place to avoid instate shipping and transfer fees?

Yes, faxed FFLs are fine. Just be sure your name is printed on the FFL or covers sheet so I know whos order it is for.

Yes you can. Missouri sales tax will apply, but still it would be cheaper than the shipping and transfer fee.

Always thought the roll mark was a little cheesy. Mega or CMMG has a better finish, IMO.

The rollmark remark I can buy. Either you like em plain or with artwork. As to the finish, I don't think you can find a better one. Equal, but not better.

Denny, that's why I added the "IMO". More like personal preference.

imo the mega finish is more like paint. looks as though it could chip off, i have two and they arent as good as the gts lowers.

but different strokes for different folks.

Posted: 6/27/2006 4:23:11 AM EDT

[#47]

I have some Mega as well as some Global Tactical lowers. Fit with CMT uppers is about the same with both ,( Meaning Great!). I like the Global Tactical finish much better and the machining is Damn Nice. Given a choice I'll use the GT's Hands Down..
