| OK folks help me decide--in my early days of BRD I bought one of the New Frontier polymer lowers before I knew of the problems associated with them. I've since quit using it and it's sitting there, naked and afraid. What do you think about either a pistol setup or maybe making it a Slidefire lower for just messing around? If it breaks no big deal--New lowers are cheap lately. I'd hate to sell it to someone knowing what I know now and I can't bring myself to destroy it. Help! |
| Chances are .223 won't kill it either. Trust me I would never buy poly for anything other than a backup. But my buddy ended up buying a poly 80, we took it to the range after he milled it and I tried my hardest to make it fail shooting m855 5.56, it did it's job perfectly. Now if it was exposed to ice/heat/ice/heat a couple thousand times who knows. But I went from super skeptical to somewhat surprised that day. I half expected m855 to make it explode into pieces but it held up fine |

Cheap lower = cheap AR-15 build, buy a $199 upper from PSA and build a cheap trunk AR in 5.56/.223
16" Mid-Length Upper or 16" M-4 Upper Add a couple of $8.33 P-Mags from BoTach loaded with 28 rounds of SS-109, a cheap dot from InSight and you have a just in case gun in your trunk you could care less if it gets scratched or rusted. ~ |
