I suppose I could see something like this taking off if they used standard metal internals, sort of like a Glock frame, but an all plastic FCG doesnt sit well with me at all. Besides, how much weight are we really shaving off here, and where do we cross the line between weight loss and structural integrity. Rifles are heavy, the more you carry it the easier it gets. If you feel your 8lb AR is too heavy, dont put it on a diet, just get used to having it in your hands.
I realize that 99% of these lowers are going to be used for recreational plinkers, but that isnt what this site is geared towards.
