I am new to the site as a registerd user but have been reading the posts for months now and I am in the market for a stripped lower and was wondering if anyone here has one and if they are any good.  I saw their add in Shotgun News and thought I would ask. I am skeptical because of the price.  If anyone has any experience with these lowers.

This will be my fist build and the color does not matter since I will be doing a desert camo theme on the entire rifle once complete.


Here is the site http://www.essentialarms.com for you all to take a look.

Thanks,
Craig

I bought 3 of there lowers this spring. I've built two so far. Both of them had what seemed to be tight holes. Pins didn't slip in but had to be tapped in lightly. I got the added toughcoat finish and thought that might be the problem. This was really a problem on the spring detents on the takedown pins because they have to slip in to work right. I would talk to them about this specific problem before I bought any more. Hope this helps.

local company for me. they make good stuff. the lowers are forged now, they were cast, and to be quite honest their cast lowers weren't all that bad.

great stuff for the money.

I've bought several from them, have built up two, no complaints, good value.

Thanks for all the info, I guess this just helped make up my mind, and since they are so cheap I can get a few of them.

Thanks a bunch.
