80% lowers for $25, ends tonight.

Ranchero50 · May 28, 2013

Not sure if it's a dup, searched 'rockethub' and nothing came up.

Non anodized 80% AR15 lowers for $25...
Black anodized for $30

Non anodized 80% Ruger 10/22 receivers for $25
Black anodized for $30

Material is 6061, not 7075, nor forged. I'm in for 2 10/22 receivers as I think they'll hold up fine out of 6061.

If this is anything like Kickstarter, if you get hosed, it's on you. No recourse. Feel free to throw money at it for the quick deal but don't be surprised if you're left empty handed. Been there. Done that. :sad20:

What is the benefit to an 80% 10/22 receiver? Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just buy a 10/22? Is it just the coolness of making it yourself? I'll admit that it's pretty freaking cool.

I once was told if it seems to good to be true it most likely is. Good luck and let us know when they show up.

Pretty risky. If I don't its legit. If I do its a scam......

Google Red Rock Ordinance BCG scam and you'll probably reconsider. Just not worth it. I'd rather pay and know I'm getting quality rather than save money and get crap or nothing at all. There's a reason why 99% of all AR manufacturers switched to 7075.

7075 and 6061 serve different purposes. 7075 is harder, stiffer and more brittle, which is good for something you want to keep rigid, like a firearm. 6061 is slightly softer, flexible, and more ductile. Both are used in alloy wheel making but 7075 is known to crack under stress while 6061 will flex and snap back.

I had purchased the normal 10-22 receivers a few years ago, $100 a piece, and No Dak Spud sells the 80% with jig kits to finish it, but it is much more that $35 or what ever the price is.....sounds...smells....looks like a scam of some sort....there is no way anyone can make ANY money selling them that cheap....so some else here said it first...." If it seems to be too good, well then........" :-)

These prices are too good to be true in my opinion.

I'm thinking practice blocks.

Cheap and inexpensive to gain the experience in building your own AR lowers without having to spend the money. If one were to trash the lower, it's really no big deal.

so it looks like we get to see someone to test the Kool Aid before we all drink it. they are doing another round with the same prices but it has an end time in August the people from the first batch should get their lowers before the end date. I am going to be keeping a close eye on peoples feedback who funded the project whenever/if they receive their lower.last night I left a comment asking if we would receive or lowers before doomsday and I'm waiting for a response. if they've received good feedback I will be buying a 4 pack.

7075 is ... stiffer, ...

The other things you say are true but alloy does not affect Youngs modulus appreciably. All aluminums are ~70GPa. Mild steel has the same stiffness(200GPa) as chromoly, for example, even thought the latter has ~6x higher yield.

Good Luck! I truly believe that these companies will fold and your money will be gone. Realisticly there is no way to machine a billet 80% lower for $25.00 . That would be like buying a new f150 for $1000.00 and as many as you want. The cost is greater than the return !

DoubleTap007 · Jun 17, 2013

Prices are too good. It takes an hour and a half + of machine time to do an 80% lower. Not to mention the cost of the material and bits. No one is going to sell it for $25, that is a loss from the get go.

Ranchero50 · Jun 18, 2013

Looks like they are doing the 80% AR lowers first. Pics included.
