4 Really impressed Posted by Ryan Cross on 18th Feb 2017

Everyone I know freaks out when the word "polymer" is used in conjunction with a lower. My LGS was trying to do everything to dissuade me from buying it. I watched the YouTube videos showing the torture tests these lowers were put through, and I was impressed with what I saw. I laughed at the LGS owner and told him that he needs to actually look at these instead of being negative towards the concept of a polymer being viable. Let me start off with cons, because they're the ones that people look for. I always use the same mil-spec lower parts kit for my builds (not giving the brand free advertising), which haven't caused any issues before. The bolt catch detent opening was too tight. I went to press it in position and it wouldn't pop out. I was able to pry it out and use a jewelry file to open it up a bit. The safety selector was loose-fitting. It actually pulls out a little (1mm or so of play), because it wouldn't seat all the way in. I've used a mag vise block on my other builds, and the mag catch doesn't engage with the block. It's a minor annoyance. Everything else went together just like a normal build. I give the build process 8/10. Having actually put rounds through it, I love it. It works just fine. It looks cool. It feels solid and grippy. I want another one. I will buy another one. The pricepoint that was offered made me jump on it. Seriously, this company has a badass product. Functionality 10/10.
