    No based on the materials used, and treatment processes (or lack of in some spots). I prefer mil-spec, but to each his own.
    I never said anything about the way it looks. The machining is very nice, don't take it so personal. It was not intended to be an attack.

    Ditto. The more you read here, the more you will know. You will also realize how much you've yet to learn.

    Thanks to poly, I'm questioning my understanding of alloys, the process of a forged lower and tempering . Mega makes a 7075-T6 billet lower and Seekins among others makes a 7075-T6 forged lower. My next step will be the search button and a few hours time that my wife will tell me I wasted. Thanks poly. Lol.

    Let me rephrase: I would suggest displaying a thicker skin as your posts suggest you've gotten pretty riled up.

    There's a lot of bad "information" out and about regarding ARs and firearms in general which is not good for us.

    There is a high concentration of knowledge here and an ultra low tolerance of anything that may detract from spreading good knowledge and squashing the bad. That includes some of your visibly agitated posts in this thread.

    Not trying to stir the pot, just a neighborly suggestion. I don't like to see people booted over stuff like this thread because this site is quite a valuable resource. But perhaps I'm sticking my thumbs where they don't belong.

    Here's the thing though. The aluminum and treating process is the same exact aluminum (T73) that Armalite has used in its AR-10 lowers for God knows how long. The aluminum used in their AR-15 lowers is T6. I'm asking why Armalite chooses to use a T73 in its lowers that are meant for a much more powerful round.

    In regards to Alodining vs. Anodizing. From what was explained to me from someone who does contract work for the military is that they now prefer Alodine over Ano. Alodine also provides a better base layer for coating. Alodining is also said to provide optimal corrosion resistance.

    Here is the Mil-spec regarding Alodining.

    I still want to know about your and your 'smith's experience and credentials. When somebody tells me I should be using a magwell grip for close quarters and that there's this magical firearms fabricator out there building rifles from scratch with government and military contracts, I want to know more.

    No, at this point I NEED to know more. What am I missing? What stuff is out there that I don't know about?

    As of now, the only thing you've done is disrespect the members on this site, disrespected the mods, and told us you honestly think nobody here has the credentials of your local 'smith.

    Fix that shit for me. I love eating crow, so feed it to me please by giving me straight answers that prove me wrong.

    Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe

    You keep referencing some dude you know who does "work" for the "Military" yet you have provided no trustworthy information about who these guys are and what they do. Might as well say god told you.

    I wonder why people are posting on this thread on a Saturday afternoon. I have already explained myself. Raining. Raining harder now. Planned brake job awaits me. I'm loading some 458 Lott to kill the time. Checking this tread on my hard earned breaks. How about you?

    They are illigetimate weapons that have no real purpose other than to attract retards to the gun community.

    I've been to a birthday party already, and am waiting for my daughters play to start. If not for these plans, I'd be out shootin'.
