i have an essential arms pre-ban lower and was wondering if there is a deal where you can somehow trade it in for a forged lower or have it redone or something like oly and the others?

wanted to replace the casted lower for a forged one like ive heard others do on here

thanks for any info if any thanks

They are not out of buisness. you can call them. I talked to the owner a month or two ago. They are supposed to be in the process of fixturing to produce lowers again and they had an ad for the new lowers in a Shotgun news a couple of months back.

I have two EA lowers (they match M16 uppers very well).  Would be nice if they were forged rather than cast, but they've been in service for years without problems.

In the event the AWB sunsets a rebuild will be moot as new bare lowers aren't that expensive.

that is good to hear that they are still around. how would i go about contacting them is there a number i can call or maybe an e-mail address? i have my lower mated with a colt upper(i think it has the larger takedown pin holes, and to tell you the truth it sucks! mags dont line up right with the feed ramps and it stovepipes like crazy but a new upper is in the works

thanks for all the replies if someone has the contact info that will be greatly appreciated

You are using an adapter pin to mate the mismatched holes, aren't you?

yeah i am but it sucks if you line it up so the mags fit then the rear pin doesnt go through then if you line the rear up the front doesnt lin up you can even see through the upper and lower if you hold it up to the light
