| Does any manufacturer make a closer to an A2 style lower? Kind of like how Aero Precision has their A4 Lower. |

Quoted:
I was under the impression that 90 % of the forged MilSpec lowers are A2 type. There used to be some good pictures showing the difference(s), but many have been lost to the photobucket suckness, so I can't find them. |

Some later forgings are beefed up even beyond the normal A2 reinforcements. Those are sometimes referred to as "A3-style" lowers, although at the time of introduction there was no difference between the A2/A3/A4 lower receivers other than their markings. There used to be some good pictures showing the difference(s), but many have been lost to the photobucket suckness, so I can't find them. Thank you for pointing this out. And I'm sure it will help prevent me from making a bigger fool of myself later down the road. FYI now I feel old

Earlier this year, there was a group of us that ordered custom-made lowers (49 of them) from Black Creek Precision that were marked M16A2 and M16A4 as well as having SAFE, SEMI, and BURST.
M16A2 Attached File Attached File M16A4 Attached File Attached File Now, anyone wanting a lower like these will have to place an order for 25 or more in order to have them made. |
