Quoted: I think it's cool that arfcom is producing their own lowers . . .(or likely just stamping the logo and name on them) . . . . but what's the big deal? Everybody's saying they're buying one before they even know the price? I'm guessing there will be some sort of "premium" to pay for these. I'm happy with the least expensive decent quality lower I can get. I don't care about the stamp or the name, but that's just me. Have fun getting excited about a roll mark. As I explained to my FFL after he quizzed me extensively before handing over the lower.. The rollmark is THE most important part. Maybe the only part. Q: Who manufactured this lower? A: Dunno. It says arfcom on it. Q: How much did this cost? A: Doesn't matter. It says arfcom on it. Q: Don't you have a bunch of lowers that you still haven't built? I remember transferring you 3 or 4 a while back and I haven't seen you with any new rifles. A: Those lowers don't say AR15.com. Q: You know I can make a phone call and get you a lower that says whatever the fuck you want, right? A: Whatever the fuck you want can't be AR15.com Then he was all like -> And then I was all like -> And he went -> And then we lol'd. |

I have an FFL, so I can get a stripped lower for about half what I paid for this. Also, this is my first stripped lower ever. |

It's so––with the FFL I can get a complete lower for exactly the same cost as a stripped one plus a lower parts kit. No worries of breaking the little dog ears on the bolt release pin holes. |

Well now, that's pretty nifty...
Gonna have to talk to the site staff about getting one of those... |

Is that a re stamped Hesse? Nope a joeken. I hear Goatboy got a great deal on a bunch of those a while back. I heard that these are hand-made by Todd at Special Weapons!! You mean, with his own three left hands?!?!? ETA: I really don't need another lower right now, but I may have to have one of these anyway. |

When they finally come around for the serfs I think I'm going to have to as well.

Do we know the manufacturer of the lowers?
Engraving and pictogram markings look very similar to the Hughes Precision group-buy lowers. ETA: Upon further examination, I no longer think it's HP. I will honor the manufacture's choice of anonymity though, so no more guesses. |

How does one pronounce Honeoye? "Honey Oye" I've heard people pronounce it that way, but also as hoo-NAY-oo-way as well as Hone-Oy. I subscribe to the latter pronunciation. |

Pretty neat I guess, but I'm not a fan of the bullet pictograms for "safe" & "fire"

I'm always amazed at the cutthroat BS in the gun world––especially at the mfr. level. |
