Just saw you gear scout article, cant wait for those to become available

Thanks, I've got more pictures of it shot, but they are all typical horrible trade show pictures so they aren't very good. I'll see if I can get them uploaded in a little bit, that way we can get a thread started about them. John had a bunch of meetings at SHOT and stayed pretty busy, but I know that a bunch of people who saw his name tag and stopped to say hi were shown the lower as well.

What is that anvil/bird looking pictograph forward of the magwell?

I have a Armalite stripped lower and dont have that pictograph

Am I correct to assume the pictograph is only on factory rifles?

Noveske

I have to admit that I am a large fan of the new Noveske Flared Forged Lower (FFL).

Oh crap. That thing is friggin' beautiful - AND FORGED!
Oh no, my poor bank account. Well, I'm glad I didn't send off my papers for another registered lower. Gotta wait til I get one of these. :)

Wonder if they'll sell matched upper/lower (tight) forged sets?

Good grief, just when I thought I was done for awhile.

Out of only the lowers I've owned I liked the Charles Daly the best. I also liked the S&W crest on the port side. Sucks they put the M&P15 logo on the stbd side. Made it look tacky.

Though I never owned one, I really like the Sabre Defence "Thundercat" logo.

I'm would go with Noveske or Mega...

Actually most of my rifles are one of these except for my Battle Born which I bought locally for the hometown markings.

Since I won the upper in the LaRue monthly contest, matching lower is my all time favorite for sure.

Yes. The DOT stamp is only on complete factory assembled rifles.

There are several I find appealing, but for reasons of reputation and appropriateness to my degree, the Mega lower was my choice.

Where did you get that State of Georgia lower... I'm in GA and looking for a new lower to start a build, that one looks great!

The GHTF did a special run a while back only 125 were made. They were all sold but if you really wanted one you could make a WTB ad and someone that got extras may be willing to part with one. But you will probaly have to go deep into your pocket

I sold my spare one 6 months ago for $250

I managed to forget about this one. As far as lower receiver rollmarks go (commercial and military), this is my favorite:

But as I mentioned earlier, ArmaLite is my favorite commercial rollmark.

ETA: There's something fabled and mythical about the XM16E1 in my mind. I think it has a lot to do with the "experimental" part.

I'm going to guess those were 80% forgings and he machined them himself.

+1 Anything with "AR-15" markings is fine by me, I've got two AR6721.

My former first SP1, SP2 and preban AR-15A2 HBAR had also the AR markings.

Without the AR-15 markings, I like the Noveske.

My favorites roll marks are Colt, Mega, and Spikes. They are quality brands too.

Those started out as 0%ers. My son and I made 4 total. I still have not found a favorite design to machine on them.
