Does anyone manufacture a forged lower receiver with an integral/built in trigger guard?
I am going to start on my next build, and my "dream" lower receiver would be a forged 7075T6 w/ beveled magazine well and integral trigger guard.. just curious if it even exsists. I have searched and can't find anything other than billet (which I may go that route). Thank |

No. The forging already has that area removed, so you'd have to get new forging dies set up, not cheap. That is what I suspected.. and I assume there isn't a high enough demand for a specific non-standard setup. I am kind of curious as to why the original blueprints have a removeable trigger guard in the first place.. I can't imagine they were thinking of people changing them out for various designs. |

For use with heavy gloves. |

For use with heavy gloves. I understand that –– but I was just wondering why they didn't just make the original forging with a integral curved trigger guard. No disadvantages to it. |
