    I thought they were entirely potmetal. It's a sin Colt put their good name on it; the Smith poly rifle is a much better choice.

    I had my dad check it again hoping that he was mistaken. Well he was it is a metal lower just like it should be. It would have been a lot easier for me to just look at it but im in a different state than him so I had to ask you guys. Thanks for the quick respones.

    Aluminum generally meets the definition of metal.

    Aluminum is the most abundant metal on earth within reach of man.

    Do you mean Aluminun Oxide? We don't just pull Aluminum out of the ground, Jackson.

    and. p.s.

    The alloy on a lower has an odd 'feel' to it; it's not hard to imagine someone unfamiliar with the platform (and especially someone who is familiar with more 'traditional' guns and their construction) to think it is made out of something other than metal.
    Too, a bit like a Glock, if you take the upper off, the lower has so little weight that you might be tempted to connect dots that aren't there.
    For chits and grins, I've got to check the weight of the all-poly S&W .22 lower against a regular AR.

    In its elemental state, Aluminum is rare. Aluminum is pulled out of the ground, but in oxides or silicates, then extracted from these compounds. Aluminum is still a metal.

    ... and is your name Jackson? Thought it was Mark.
