The 80% Poly Lower movement has begun!

[Chris0nllyn]

I fully expect to have the first batch in my hands this week and Maryland has been made a shipping priority in light of the oct. 1st deadline.

So your product ALL of you in MD who ordered should have your product shipped out this week.

Good to know.

I ordered one of your lowers and a jig about a week ago. (That was before I knew about this group buy though.)

I'm in Guam, I'm excited but I will "believe it when I see it" start hitting in MD. No doubt they are coming eventually. If I am correct, mine will arrive only 2 months or so late.

Two more weeks...

Buy your aluminum lowers now, don't wait on these polymer ones. We Marylanders can't wait to much longer to meet end needs. Few online Retailers has already stop Shipping to MD due to deadline in a couple weeks.

Talked to Loran and David last night and they say they are getting ready to ship. I asked if you could use a drill press on the uppers an he said yes. He also said an x/y vise so you can move it on the press works great. I have included a link with the vise price at $89.

Can you still use a hand drill instead?

 

[hvymax]

No signs of Mowie on the group buy. What about that Watkins 87 guy who is supposed to be a distributor.

You can but it takes a lot longer and harder to do. I've seen and shot a couple that were done with a drill and no problem. So it call be done.

Did anyone see the first comment on this?got a kick out of it;


"As others have stated, "this vise needs to be cleaned and lubed prior to use."
I build AK sporting rifles for fun. I bought it to help drill the rivet holes in the receivers. For this it works fine.
I also entertained the idea of using it to mill out the FCG opening in an 80% AR receiver. For this I'm not too sure it will work. On a few test pieces, milling produced acceptable results, but not precise work."

Hey i get confused with North and South sometimes...

 

[ohen cepel]

Well, doesn't look like they will ship this week as stated by Loran.

Asking for a refund in the am. Can't wait and my faith in them is gone.

Bummed, but can't wait. Will go with EP tomorrow.

 

[hdatontodo]

I'm letting it ride for now, but if I really wanted to press it, I would ask for evidence of progress like pictures of lowers or molds, shipping receipts, invoices, etc.

For now, it's just like a scratch-off I haven't scratched yet.

 

[smokedog]

I have been following this thread and I am going to participate in the group buy.
Thanks

Will go another route. To bad this doesn't seem to be working out.

 

[berkman007]

Some sort of communication from them would be great, but nothing. Seems like time for a refund and to implement plan B. Any ideas where to get a lower locally w/ 8 day release? Will be at the show in Howard County tomorrow, so hopefully I will luck out there.

Look at EP for polymer 80% lowers.

Loran- I'll contact David also, but please send me a refund.
