Wouldn't make an accurate lower for a clone, but the markings are very limited.

True, not accurate but a very interesting lower. Clean, minimal fence and no A2 bulge at the extension tunnel for a retro-ish look. Not cheap, but a darn interesting looking lower. Probably wouldn't use it because of the trigger guard, but it's very interesting to know about.

McKay but like the Nodak might be a wait.

Consider an 80% lower? You'll get exactly what you want

That is a good suggestions, and I did consider it. But given quality lowers are cheap again, I think I'll get one with the holes done well and not rely on myself. My dad has a drill press and the skills, but he's also got a health problem right now and I don't want to ask him to do it. Next year when he's back in battery I might consider that. But thanks for the suggestion.

Good stuff. That Essential is a great candidate - and their logo is vaguely enough like the "U.S. Rifle/U.S. Property" stamps on some M16A2's. Good match. I might grind the fence down to partial A1 and call that good. Have not seen that before.

I like LMT's rollmark. I just went through the same process for lowers that will become SBRs. I really wanted a Colt M4A1 rollmark but don't feel like spending 1500 for a SOCOM or 750 for the lower, So I ended up picking up a couple complete LMT lowers w/ SOPMODs.

If you don't want to wait for NoDak or McKay, you could try one of these:

That Fulton Armory one would be perfect with that U.S. mark if that's the way they come. I will check into that and where to get one/cost. We have a gun show next weekend, i can hit that and if nothing local is workable (which I doubt), then order one in. Our transfer prices have skyrocketed and even used guns taxed now; our state gov't. hates gun owners but is consitutionally limited - so they go after us where they can. So buying local is much cheaper and easier but in this case the look is more important.

LMT's rollmark looks almost exactly like PWA's did.

Another option. This is a good quality 7075-T6 billet receiver set. I have one NIB just like it I've been trying to find a new home for

Quote HistoryQuoted:
So you want one of these.... Yeah, precisely. But I'd leave off the Colt if I had it engraved since it's an FN upper, give it an FN or other lower generic look to it. There's a lengthy wait for them now, plus our high tax/transfer costs (WA thing), and the engraving cost. I might do that next year when the budget isn't tight (a lot of guns and child expenses this summer). Who did the engraving for you? I may shop for someone next year. |

ETA: I gotta get a better pic of the lower. The finish looks too rough in that pic but every time that I try and take a pic with my camera it doesn't come out as clear as that one. Cameras frustrate me. |

Rogue Defense here in Portland (Curts Discount Shooter Supply) is manufacturing their own lowers and they are very clean. Sharper lines than most but no extra markings. I have one in the truck and can post pics later.
May be only uppers. Im heading over later and will check on lowers. Im off-base |
