im digging it except for the batmobile look to the mag well![]()
Can someone,.... one of the "experts" tell me exactly what makes this a non functioning, non form and not quality. I am directing this question as it pertains to this picture in my post. Is it the finger grips, the holes drilled in the trigger guard, or holes in the back of the lower.... what exactly is it?

cleaned up my gun list for Odie, hope this makes you feel better.. is my target ok? I
can delete it too..
This sums up my feeling on it quite well. I like it. The workmanship is good, it looks interesting... Hell it looks FUN. However in saying that I am not saying I would want it on my defensive carbine.
Neither though would I mind having something like this in my safe just to say I had.
Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.
This just might get me to support the assault weapons ban.![]()

As a general rule I don't think the people that use this terminology appreciate just how much it makes a "man" look like an ass.
I have noticed this statement a couple of times on here in the past few weeks. Certainly I have seen it before. Nothing new, but there seems to be a rash of it.
I understand that this statement is often thrown around as a disparagement akin to calling someone a "tier 1 mall cop" or calling someone an "operator" tongue-in-cheek.
I am just saying it doesn't reflect disparagement on the guy with the artsy lower. It makes the guy using the word look like a self-absorbed jerk.
Perhaps I should have just kept quiet, being an under 200 poster and all. Certainly I fall into the pencil-pushing gun enthusiast category. Guess that makes me arf.com material.

I never said it was practically better than any other lower. I said it was made with a higher treated grade aluminum than most other lowers. I also said that a lot of different design went into the "inside" of the magwell. By the way, I paid no more for this lower than I would have purchasing any other lower. You are right. My primary goal was to find a lower than not many other people would have. Nothing more nothing less. The guy who designed and milled this has some serious skill that I'm sure most of us wish we had.

No kidding..."quality" and FCG holes being unfinished do not co-align in my mind. Your mention of Boris Valejo reminds me of Krieger's van.

I don't know if you saw my explanation as to why the FCG holes are unfinished or not but I'll type it again. The lower was purchased as a 80% lower and the manufacturer gave the option of Alodining it along with Powder Coating it prior to me milling it out. He said that the aluminum is already heat treated to T7351 and that it is hard enough to where no galling/egging issues will occur in the FCG holes. He also said if you really want to be on the safe side then use non rotating pins and that would make egging virtually impossible. I also backed up his statements with my gun smith who engraved this lower. He said they will be completely fine and that if I was really worried about it, he would bead blast the finish and then refinish it. Lastly the manufacturer has more experience building weapons systems than a good majority. I trust him after not only seeing the other stuff he has fabricated but also watching him fabricate. If he gives me a guarantee that it will be 100% fine then I'm going to take the man's word for it rather than the word of someone I don't know or someone who has no experience fabricating weapon systems. If anything were to happen to it, he will have no problem replacing it.
