    Wish I needed another lower.. I'm usually late.. Thanks for the offer.. I just the fact that you do this type of offer sticks with me and keeps JoeBob as my preferred choice. Thanks!

    Forgot to add that this was definitely karma coming back my way. Earlier tonight I saw the post by DD214 that he had added the donate button to the site. I didn't even hesitate, I went straight over and made a little donation. I suggest everyone consider doing the same and maybe more of this karma will come our collective way real soon.

    Are they going to release forged uppers in the future?

    Yes, but now are focusing on lowers as far as machine time goes. IF something were to banned, they want to produce as many lowers as possible. The uppers will always be available and able to be produced. They're going to be produced, but none available right now.

    I don't want to bash your company (curious more-so), but how do these compare to the Engage lowers? From what I remember, theirs is Billet, and if these are forged, how do they compare?

    Engage lowers obviously won't have a transfer fee, so that can factor in things a bit. Obviously Engage is a good local business to support, so by all means, we're not going to be offended if you shop there first.

    Forged lowers are technically stronger than Billet. Billets are overbuilt typically, because they can, and because it's not a bad idea. Billets are made in smaller quantities generally, and more expensive. The base product the billet lowers are machined out of is much more expensive, and there is more machine time involved to manufacturer them. Billets will typically be a little more consistent in their machining tolerances.

    Both do the same thing. Billets generally have a bit more flare, and cost a bit more.

    This is damn good of you joebob, I wish i could take advantage of this offer but the unavilability of parts to even finish my spikes lower I bought from you leaves me not wanting to fight for more parts.

    Joebob, I just placed my order. If it hasn't been mentioned, thank you for doing this for us. You could sell these out in no time but gave us the opportunity first. Thanks again.

    Also some things like BAD levers MAY not work on some billets. Beyond billet being slighty weaker, slightly meatier, more expensive they all work "well". Also some billet manufacturers machine their lowers to fit with their billet uppers so cross mating upper from Maker A to Maker B in billet may have more slop. This is mostly true across all receiver sets but I notice it much more in billet.

    Awesome, I appreciate the quick response. I didn't mean to compare you guys against a local IP, I was genuinely curious! Only problem is with Maryland's lagged system right now, State Police are running about a month for background check's on regulated firearms....Problem is that I have a pistol bought and paid for, but can't buy another until that gets cleared, right?

    You can. Just can't take possession of it. I've purchased 2 rifles in a month but Gun Connection worked with me and took possession after the wait was over.

    Awesome of joebob to do this..I luckily snagged 2 of these the other day, just waiting for them to ship from elsewhere. So I'll let others get in on this deal. If there's still some available in a few days I might snag one.
