Anybody use one their new forge lowers yet? Thier website list them at $77.00 apiece. www.essentialarms.com |

I have three on the way. I am replacing one of the Essential Arms cast prebans I have. I'm not replacing it because of anything wrong, but I figure I'd let someone in a behind the wall state have at it. The cast one has held up very well. I built the gun in either '90 or '91. I have not heard anything bad about the new forged ones anywhere. I expect that they will work great. I was told that he has made lowers for Bushmaster and was going to for Colt, but they found a cheaper source. for the last several years he has been busy doing lowers for the government. I'll let you guys know how they look when I get them in. I expect that they will be just fine and will probably be the best bang for the buck................... Pun intended. Nox |

I just received three lowers. I'll get some photos and a better detail discription up later after I sleep. For now, they look pretty good. There are some machining marks on the inside of the magwell and the ones with the tough coat DO look nicer. My camera is at work, so I won't probably have photos before Tuesday. |
Our dear friend Bubbaguns, has the misfortune of living in the the wonderful land of California. IIRC, they ban AR type rifles based on the name. So, lets say a Colt, or RRA, may be "on the list" of banned guns, so you could not import them, but "Vinnies House of Lowers" would be legal because it's not on "the list". (But I bet if you check the list tomorrow afternoon, "Vinnies House of Lowers" will be on the list.  )

I am in the NAVY. I am from Arkansas. I still buy whatever I want, I just can't bring it into Kalifornia. I wanted to buy a few for future assembly.

Off topic, but Thank You, and stay safe. |
I've read it's a close match but not perfect, I'm going to order one and find out first hand in a few months |
