Examples as in pictures of people who's pin holes were egged. Manufacturers don't leave them unfinished because they mill the entire thing prior to finishing/coating it. There's no point in covering the holes. I on the other hand got this as 80% and it was Alodined and Coated prior to milling.
I'll be honest with you man. I've had a guy who not only retired from Beretta after designing and building weapon systems for them but also currently works on military contracts tell me they will not egg out. No offense but I'll tend to take the word of a man with his background. Not to mention it would literally be impossible to achieve if Anti Roll Pins are used. The physics just aren't there.

I don't know about you, but this 100% unit looks like finished and coated holes to me...

cleaned up my gun list for Odie, hope this makes you feel better.. is my target ok? I
can delete it too..
Yup. That is one of his lowers he sells as complete 100%. He mills the whole thing prior to finishing it. He also sells 80% lowers that already come treated and powder coated so all you need to do is mill and it's ready for the parts kit.

Whether I like it or not doesn't really bear on the fact that somebody really knows what they're doing with CAD and CNC and needed to express themself
If the holes are uncoated and the alloy is theoretically, or in fact, 20% down in strength from mil spec, well, I don't see any of those "in use by secret clandestine units" claims at least.
I don't care how other people.... wait, most other people, hold their carbine. Not even sure that this one, for people that do use the magwell hold, would be the ultimate. I doubt the Magwell Holdin' Champion of the World would realize much dif between this and a standard lower. If he did or if he didn't it wouldn't really matter to me, I doubt it would change the way I do things.
I think it was cool when blues bands and rockers took the Hammond B3 organ out of church and started using it in a way it wasn't supposed t be used and doing things with it that some people didn't like. Even Hammond dispproved-- they didn't want their product being used "that way".
And I think this receiver is cool. Not necessarily "the future of the AR15" and I don't think everyone must have one, but as an exercise, an experiment, a proof of technical prowess and yes, an artisic expression, I don't see any harm in it!
Well said, bravo.
Something just occurred to me. Is that lower symetrical? At first I thought it was... but now that I look at the front portion of the lower magazine area it looks like perhaps not?

I don't think anyone disagrees that it's an artistic expression (art is always in the eye of the beholder) or display of technical prowess. It's certainly those things.
The OP argues that it has "practical" features as well. It's the practicality of the piece that's being rightly challenged. There is absolutely nothing this lower can do that a Noveske Flared Forged Lower can't do better at a lower cost. For the price point, there's nothing this lower can do that a AXTS AX556 lower can’t do better AND offer full ambidextrous operation to boot.
The OP's primary goal with this lower is to be unique. Mission accomplished. It's just that M4C as a general rule, doesn't value uniqueness as a trait worth paying extra for. In this case, it actually detracts from more desirable functionality.
