    Make You Think Twice Before Buying a Polymer Lower Receiver

    I agree. But know this, it can happen to aluminum lowers of questionable quality as well. I had a Hesse Arms in the late 90’s (clearly the questionable quality I was referring to) that broke in the exact same manner. My guess is now a days even with low quality aluminum lowers, it probably happens much less frequently than with polymer lowers.

    If it won't buff out like george said, superglue it. I thought plastic lowers were only good for .22 LR's or something like that.

    If it does not have an integral stock like the KE Arms KP-15 don't bother, it is a waste of money.

    "does" or "doesn't"?

    I thought the KE Arms w/integral stock was GTG.
