Bought a lower by Firebird Precision at the Albuquerque gun show. They are a New Mexico company and I just wanted to say this is the finest lower I've bought. They are drilled and tapped for the trigger slop pin and to tighten the upper and lower receiver fit. They did not come with the threaded insert, the little allen wrench slug was easily found at home depot.
If you see one for sale buy with confidence. |

I almost bought one at the last show but the G man's were more in line with my pricing. Their billet lower even had nice little finger groves in front of the mag well to hold onto. Awesome set up but they wanted 3?? something. Twice the g man's.
Again, nice though. |

Thanks for the heads up. I think I found their webpage, but it looks like they have yet to get the page going in ernest. Here is the link (cold):
http://www.firebirdprecision.com/index.php/about-us.html It wouldn't break my heart to have one of these companies local. I too picked up one of Gman's lowers, and could not be happier. Very well made, all parts fitting perfectly. But, my first car was a Firebird. Yea, I'd likley be a sucker for the logo, and made in NM. Craig |

I saw those a few shows back and they were so overpriced it made me sick. Of course this was during the Obama OhNoes! pricing where everyone seemed high. In addition the finger grooves on the mag well are a bad idea. Sure some people hold the mag well with no problems. I personally dont want to risk an OOB or KaBoom on my fingers. Lastly, the lower itself weighs more due to the extra's they built in. Pass for me, but if it works for you good. |
