Lower Manufacturing Process

Aero Precision put up a vid of their mfg process. I thought it was cool to see how they make their lowers.

That one slick ass machining center!

Here's one I like about Mega Arms:

Thanks for sharing, I have had really good success with AP. :cool:

Yeah that's awesome. I'm a total machining geek though. Wife thinks I'm crazy for watching 2 hours of youtube videos of some guy turning out parts on a lathe or a bridgeport mill. You learn a lot watching though :D

Rivals what I saw at DD's facility on a tour. Based on what we've heard of AP lowers, and seen in the vid, I believe M4C is going to have to put them on the GTG list. IIRC, IG believes they are good quality.

A new logo for them as well. Thanks for the link!

I like the new logo as well. They also put up a new website with what looks to be some new upper receiver configurations.

Those are some cool videos, guys! I really like the new Aero roll mark, it's a massive improvement over the old one.

I really like Mega lowers, too. Even though the billet uppers and lowers are a bit pricey, those monolithic uppers have been calling my name for a long time. Maybe in a 7.62N one day.:dirol:

Aero lowers are G2G. They are the OEM for many, many assemblers.

While perusing their new website I saw their new scope mount. It looks pretty nice. They only show a 1", but the weight (2.98 oz.) and the way the ring halves interconnect caught my eye.

Very cool.


Thanks guys for posting both videos.


I'm really curious to see how lowers go from raw material to forgings.

I saw this thread and a few vids and just thought about how everyone always says that airsoft shit is junk. Well, I agree with you 99% of the time.

But what do you guys think about this? The only differences I know of is that they use a airsoft specs (trigger box, ID of outer barrel, BCG, etc) and I believe 6061 T6 instead of 7071 T6. But everything else (barrel nut, rail dimensions, body dimensions, buffer tube) is made to real dimensions (Don't wanna say mil-spec cause I'll get flamed, but mil-spec).

Anyways, I just thought it was nice to see some people stepping up their game. Also, if you didn't notice/watch, they backwards engineered a SR-16.

Bump, I don't think anyone saw my post. Anyways, just want to see what anyone thinks. I don't know that much about machining/forging/etc.

+1 on the monolithic uppers... Someday.

People saw it, for sure.
No one cares to comment because this is NOT an airsoft forum.

I will see if I can get a vid of the forging process....

That would be awesome of you.
Thanks!

Yes, that would be fantastic! Thank you.
