Polymer lower? Any recommendations?

[Jdiep]

Hi looking to build a lightweight ar. I've looked at some polymer lowers like omni and fmk.
What is a good poly lower anyone with any experience or differnt brand?

I have an omni and it's great. I get comments all the time on how light my AR is.

If it's a polymer lower it isn't milspec.

If it's a polymer lower it isn't milspec.

Really the fmk says they are milspec anyone else rock a poly lower? Or 80% poly

All milspec AR pattern rifles have forged aluminum receivers. Polymer lowers are not milspec. The dimensions may be milspec but the materials are not.

The entire lower except for the serial number is polymer. Just like my glock.
