Plum Crazy Lower Rec?

[Pancho Villa]

Anyone else seen this? Some guy claiming to sell polymer lower receivers, complete for $99 shipped.

I ordered one just for giggles. Going to test it out mid-march with 1000 rounds of .223 and a few thousand .22lr and general abuse a rifle sees when camped out at the range for a week.

Was supposed to ship out this past tues, was told "buffer tube problems" and would ship out this coming tuesday. Starting to get suspicious but hey - can always cancel my order and get a new lower rec made of aluminum for $225 shipped w/transfer fees.

Thank you Mtn Man. That's exactly it.

I'm suspicious of a lot of things about this lower, but again, too good a deal not to give it a try. I'll give a full range report around Mar 20th, supposing this isn't just vaporware.

Was thinking about these the other night...they'd probably be good for a dedicated .22 upper, but I wouldnt trust them to the recoil of a centerfire cartridge...

I am curious, either as a dedicated 22 or a knock around gun, the price is hard to touch.

Recoil from a 223 isn't exactly "demanding" on a rifle either

Should be fine as long as your upper isn't polymer. all the pressure is in the chamber, the lower just houses your LPK which are just mechanical. Hopefully the lower can handle the little bit of wear and tear from the recoil on the pins.
other than that I see no problem. hell if the rest of the parts are standard it is worth it to just buy the complete lowers if they come with the LPK and stock and strip those off.

I'll be curious to see your opinions of this.

Thanks
