    The wear points on an AR polymer lower will be the pin holes. Put metal there and the polymer won't wallow out. One stress point of an AR lower is the "L" shape that's threaded part for the RE. Reinforce that with a metal insert and the polymer lower won't be any more susceptible at that location than an aluminum lower. Another will be the forward receiver pin hole. Release the aft pin and shotgun the upper and it will put stress there on a polymer lower. Reinforce that point as well and a polymer lower will be very durable

    They also make a knock off Glock.
    From the looks of it, a knock off MOE stock as well!

    I wonder if they hired the former Yugo designers and quality control inspectors?

    Mortaring a polymer lower has me worried more than anything else. Never had to 'mortar' my M&P or USP. The stress on the RE housing would concern me more than anything if the pivot/take down area was properly reinforced.

    But it has troy-ish sights, must be legit.

    Glock didnt start with an aluminum/steel frame and work backwards. They started with the polymer part and designed a gun around it. They didnt create a solution to an existing problem (especially when there is none as far as AR15's are concerned), they created a new product.

    What problem is solved by using polymer in a pistol frame? None. Polymer pistol frame designs aren't anything radical compared to other frames. It does the same job as metal frames do, with the exception of being lighter, no different than a polymer AR lower with a metal insert.

    How do you know Glock engineers didn't start with a metal frame? If I were to venture a guess, I'd say they started with a metal frame, stripped away everything that didn't need to be steel and replaced it polymer.

    If you're going to call something crap, back it up with facts and/or experience, not conjecture and prejudice

    Is Montenegro on some sort of blacklist? They are on their way to becoming a NATO member so I think they are considered as a US ally. The US is a very large AR market so I'm sure the US is part of Tara's business plan.

    Aside from its neighboring countries, the US would probably have the
    first models available for civilians.

    The entire world is on a blacklist as far as modern rifles are concerned. They'd either have to import in in some weird configuration and change it here or they'd have to build a manufacturing facility in the US(or license their design.)
