80% polymer lower

[spikehunter]

Anyone tried one of these? I would like to make my own reciever but I ran across these and thought it might be easier to start. I have no experience building an ar so I know this may be a newb question. Looking to build a duel purpose light weight hunting rig/ home defense.

The only thing I personally would feel less confident about than milling out an aluminum 80 percenter,  would be doing same to a plastic one. :)

Lol yea I may just stick to the factory stuff. Who knows. Maybe it just sounds like a better idea than it really is

I've got two of em. No problems. Got one on an ar pistol and one on a 300 blackout pistol I prob wouldn't run one on a full auto setup. I think one of the most important things w a polymer is to get decent parts w the money u save buying polymer. Ie rock river trigger kit or nice drop in etc. the one lower I have came complete w parts, the trigger is actually pretty smooth....

But you all didn't do them from 80% lowers either. I have an Omni on my AR pistol, and it's been fine so far, but I only had to trust the manufacturer to get the thing right, not myself.
