Also with color and logo sky is the limit
He said we could make a camo lower and put any logo we want

I am definitely in! Camo would Rock Dude. You mind telling me if he Charged you for the Pre Sell? Or is he waiting until Lower is getting ready to ship?

FYI- the Palmetto Buffers are Awesome and the MDS Flags are Superb! Thanks :party29:

I'm totally in on this... LMAO!

Hrmm...add me to the list. I'd like a few of these. Mostly because I'd be interested in seeing if the one time use jig can be fiddled with to make it multi use. Would be nice to have one I could use on metal 80%s

I'm in!

Interesting, but... These would be the first batch? Has the company ever made anything similar? And aren't they a tad pricey? I mean, can't I get a composite 100% for that price? (I understand the other benefits of an 80%, no need to rehash them)

Yeah, they are more expensive than aluminum 80% lowers were pre-panic. I guess it's just high initial costs. Maybe the cost will go down after a while. I'd love to start seeing $15 polymer 80% lowers.

Honestly shouldn't cost much more to make than a PMAG once initial mold costs are recouped. Injection molding machines are expensive though, I can only assume the guy is running batches for a rental fee on someone else's equipment.

Interested to know what kind of polymer he's using as well.

Really cool idea!

I'm definitely interested, if for no other reason then just to do it.

I'm still trying to determine if the jig is reusable.....if so that would certainly drive the cost down.

I'd be in for one of these, I'm always looking for a good project.

ccarson · May 10, 2013

Count me in

Markp · May 10, 2013

Ya, there is a risk, but the design looks solid. It will be fun to play with these...

He said it can be used multiple times but he cannot guarantee the accuracy after one use

Should be able to heat up an exacto blade knife and just whittle these out!

Where's the DREMMEL guy?? :lol2:

gutshootem · May 10, 2013

I'd prob give one a shot with a .22 build.

MauiWowie · May 10, 2013

Just so everyone knows I'm NOT taking money until I have one to play with in my hand...
I lost alot of money buying from Red Rock Ordnance (BCG) and I'm still trying to get it back.
I'd feel horrible if this guy wasn't legit so I'll be the Ginnie pig and let everyone know!

Buford-T-Justice-1969 · May 10, 2013

First, you guys are costing me $$$$. I want one. One more thing to add to my collection. Now I don't know anything about these kinds of lowers. Are they able to handle .223 or only .22 lr?

hi3cho · May 10, 2013

In for one with a MDS Logo

madstylez · May 10, 2013

Subscribed to see where this goes. Potentially in if things look good.

Fox123 · May 10, 2013

Subscribed I'm interested pending strength reviews.
