Anyone know the History of these lowers. I have heard several stories.

They are not around now but did they just go out of business or did someone buy them?

I owned a couple PWA's in the past and they were fine for me.

Thanks for your input,
Kevin

I like that the lowers say "COMMANDO" on them.  It make me laugh every time I look at one.

They were bought out by Olympic Arms?  The inside of the lowers is one of the not full of aluminum types for full auto configurations?

My PWA lower has the sear block in it. It was made by LMT. It also has the "Commando" roll mark on it. I thought that was kind of funny too. I just got mine SBR'd, and it's mated to an 11.5" BCM upper. I used to have it on a LMT 16" upper and it fired about 5K rounds or so before I changed it out.

For whatever reason, my TD battle grip doesn't fit on it quite right. It's not off enough to make much of a difference, but it gave me pause. Maybe the hole for the handgrip was off a little or something. It's perfect in every other way though. It mated up real tight to my LMT upper when I first bought it. The Stag LPK fits very well, and it has a nice trigger pull.

Good lowers.

I have a post ban lower that is out of state(cant have listed ar15s unless it was registered in 2000) but the LMT is in my safe.
I think mine was built in 1996 and is marked commando as well.

Don't you know.?....it is ready for full auto configuration with the sear, sear pin hole lacking and internal components like hammer, etc missing and CLEO approval waiting, etc.

Hey 6172 crew,Is your marked PWA or LMT?  I thought all PWA marked lowers were made before 1994.
