Ya'll have a pretty minimalist roll mark, but would you consider running a few batches with no roll mark or PA-15 on the magwell and 5.56 instead of multi? This would appeal to the military clone guys quite a bit as there are only a few that make no roll mark lowers. I believe the military A2 and possibly A1 clone guys could benefit from this kind of deal and open up a new market for you.
Your name and address would still be on the receiver above the fire control pins. |

Oh no If they did do a plain lower I would have to get a couple of them, and I have not even finished the lowers I got on father's day.
|

If they did, I would start buying all of my lowers from them. I bought 10 last year, but only 3 were from them during the $50 deal. But they do have me for another 6 so far this year on the $50 Christmas deal. To me a lower is a lower, and the only thing that makes me buy from some others are the roll marks - I get Spikes for $80, and like the spider over the cannons. LOL
But no roll mark would win 100% of my money everytime. |

From what I know about another discussion forum trying to get lowers from PSA without PSA markings... it isn't going to happen. Not ever.

I can pass this info on to the powers that be when they get back from the SHOT SHOW.

Let them know it would open up a market that is really cornered by only one other maker (Nodak). Dipping into a rarely tapped market would be a boon for you guys and would benefit your customers as well. |

I'm in the market for lowers with no rollmark as well. Currently I'm leaning towards one of the other forum vendors but they are out of stock, so basically whoever gets them in first wins my vote.
Aero Precision makes lowers for different companies, including PSA, so hopefully they would be willing to do this. |

This is a OLD SCHOOL bump for "hopefully" some good news about maybe getting a run of these done. I am building my dad a A1 and I have almost everything but the barrel and the lower. I have a line on a barrel, and I would LOVE to be able to close the deal on a non-roll marked lower for his build. |

All of my lowers have an LW prefix. My guess is they are made by L.W. Schneider.
|
|
I believe that is the case.
PSA, how about a limited "Group Buy" and give us a minimum order number and see if we can get the number you need. |

I want to see this. I really do not care for snakes,deers and all that crap on the side of my AR's. NoDak spud cannot seem to keep their plain lowers in stock.

Not to mention their price point is a bit high. If PSA could do it for about what they are selling for now it would still be a value at $79 and they wouldn't have to spend as much to have them done as there would be less work. |

I really doubt it's that simple. There's no doubt in my mind the purveyors of the low-priced yet good quality lowers are at least somewhat motivated by getting a bunch of lowers in circulation with their logos on them. It's called cheap advertising. What motivation would PSA have for trying to compete with NODAK? |

There are people out there that would rather buy Spike's or SAA lowers for the same or near the same price point. However, there are plenty of people out there that want no mark lowers just because there is no marking and others who want them for building military clones. The Palmetto name will still be on them, near the fire/safe marking like all their lowers. As for why go up against Nodak....why not? They aren't necessarily going after Nodak, just offering up an alternative. Hell, if they put out 20" or 16" lightweight barrels, then the clone builders would be even happier. Nearly one stop shopping for the items that are hardest to come by. |

Nearly one stop shopping for the items that are hardest to come by. For the same price point many will and do simply select the rollmark they find the most pleasing or least annoying. When the prices spread out, given similar quality, the rollmark undoubtedly takes a backseat to the price tag or maybe the color match to the upper; it might even become irrelevant to some. I understand totally what you're saying and why you're urging PSA to produce non-logoed lowers and I really hope they do, along with the barrels you mentioned. There's a little bit of retro in all of us who were ever issued an M16A1, and the damned things are awfully hard to find. I hope PSA takes up the challenge and does take on Nodak; their lowers are nice, but the little nuances that make them "retro" aren't worth their price tags in my view. Simply omitting the logo would make any of the quality lowers a lot more desirable to me. I just can't believe the manufacturers are ever going to let go of the advertisements. |

A member here has his own lower with no roll mark. echo nine three is the name, very high quality.

I'd be in for a half a dozen lowers with very sparse markings as described in the OP. Sounds like a great idea.
|
|
Any more talk of this to the powers at be?? I'd even accept a "No way in hell" at this point.

We are working on this now FANTASTIC! Yeah, that is good to hear. I'm ready for a few. |

This is a great idea. I love the historical SC markings on my lowers, since im local, but I'd bet there's a big market for minimal markings.
|
|
Count me for two, I finished my other lowers and would like a couple of plain ones
|
|
you should also make one that says M4 CARBINE 5.56 x 45 and then a serial number since no one owns the rights to "M4".
You'd make a damned killing. |

Just noticed this... I'd be interested as well.
And even more interested in a non-anodized complete lower that I could engrave my own "rollmark" onto. Lets shoot for the lower without magwell markings first tho. |
|
i'd probably buy one of these too.. it'd be cool if it had the full auto/ burst indication too...
|
|
From what I am reading, the roll mark would be about the only thing deleted. My understanding is that the PA15 would need to be on there as well as 5.56 cal markings.
I'd still be down for one like this as well. |

We are working on this now FUCK!. My wallet is angry at you now. |

I would be in for 4 or 5 of these if it happens. This ill take 5 of them yesterday!!!!! |
