| Are all cast EA lowers preban? |
| Most likely though some of the early production lowers that the company that is now in operation made are rumored to have been cast. J-15 will seal the deal. EA, as you might have guessed is now back in business...or at least the name is. The company went out of business in 1993. J-15-F is a post ban marking and is likely forged. Mine has been great btw. |

Are all cast EA lowers preban? No. Preban cast lowers are marked J-15. Postban cast lowers are marked J-15-2. And j-15 F or something are postban ETA: Essential Arms (337) 945-0185
All are Pre-Ban as they went out of business in 1993. (DPMS bought them prior to the Ban) Call DPMS Lower receiver serial numbers begin with EA. Some or all lowers are cast. Light gray coloring. It is rumored that Ruger investment casted the lowers for Essential Arms. ***Updated by Typeo1313*** Essential Arms has recently started produceing recievers again. Most if not all are marked J-15-F. Those who live in states still under the AWB should verify their receiver is compliant with their states laws. http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/showthread.php/13006-Pre-Ban-AR15-Information-for-those-who-still-live-under-the-AWB |
