Anyone ever tried one?
Got it in my head to do as lightweight build as possible, sometime down the road. Looked at EP80s, New Frontier, and Polymer80s. Pretty sure I can do the machining alright on the two 80%ers and kind of figure that for that price it might be worth a try. EP80s New Frontier Polymer80s |

we've built on them. worked on them. probably won't own them.
when you torque the receiver extension tube, you can watch the lower twist and deflect as much as a 1/4"... i'm not sure it would hold up to the rigors of genuine battle, but they serve a place as light duty or plinker lowers... |

I had my eye on one a while ago to build out as a dedicated .22lr. I've seen plenty at the range and they seemed to hold up fine. Like Septic said I'm not sure I would trust them as battle ready.
I also have concerns about the takedown and pivot pin holes. They seemed like they would fall out of speck quickly if you are changing uppers a lot or field stripping for cleaning. Although at the current prices I would just pick up a new one. |
