Does anyone know if this company is real or bogus?
Does anyone know if their lowers are quality products?
I'm in love with the look of one of their DPMS lowers and they appear to be shipping. I'd like to do business with them, except....
1) Checking archive.org, the website has evolved over the years and prior to this year, seems to have gone missing for several years.
2) The "about us" lists a company in Billings MT, but they state they are a "licensed Firearms Manufacturer in Oregon"
3) I couldn't find the company 80 Lower Machineworks, LLC in ThomasNet, BBB, or anywhere else.
4) Their address is a strip mall in Billings. Suite 1 doesn't appear listed in gMaps, but looking up and down the strip mall, it seems (I may be wrong!) Suite 1 was a Sports Authority that has been closed. This is much too big for a boutique machine shop and the rent would be too pricey, as I see no reason that such a boutique would need such retail space.

5) They only accept credit cards, but not more traditional channels for new firms, like PayPal.
6) They have no phone #, nor facebook, nor instagram... they're ghosts except for their website.
I emailed them, but given how busy everyone is, I don't expect a prompt reply.
Appreciate the wisdom of the community!
