Not that it matters, but just out of curiosity are they made from 7075 T6 Aluminum as it says in the description or are they made from 6061 T6 Aluminum as shown on the Spec sheet?

I'll find out.
We do have them in stock now
Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks for carrying these parts and NEA products as well.
So I just got the word that these lowers are 7075-T6 aluminum.
Yes. Billet and 7075-T-6 aluminum. Other features include a magwell that is grooved at the front and the bottom is flared.
The AR-10 lowers mate up extremely well to KAC and Noveske uppers.

These are pretty nifty AR lowers and being Canadian made is a plus, except I have one problem with them - you cannot remove the trigger guard. FYI for those of you who didn't notice and this matters to you. I like doing winter shooting (and I mean extreme cold where nothing less than winter mitts will do) so this is a necessity.
Farmboy, do you know if Cadex has a lower receiver model with pivoting/removable trigger guard?

I have one. And ill say as much as I find the logo a little big. It is the best made lower I have every seen.
The price tag is high but worth it

Nice! I noticed Epps has had two DPMS AR-10 Uppers in their Barrel section for a few months now....perhaps its time to call Wess up and Haggle with him (?)

Wouldn't putting a dpms upper on a Cadex lower be like putting steel 16" wheels with snow tires on a Ferrari?
Good thing it was made to reject substandard parts.
Too funny, a couple of days ago I saw newer Corvette with steel rims and snow tires.
Those CDX lowers look nice, I may have to consider a CDX-10 lower and do a .308 build next year.
Same here, outstanding finish / quality. Plus the magwell extremely well made. As BBB said, the logo might be a little big, but when you go into these details, that means that it is near perfect

I always wanted to put studded snow tires on a Hi end Spots Car and make it my winter beater should I ever win the Lottery...All wheel drive of course.
I wish I understood why AR-10's were produced with different specs
. That's kind of the key selling point to the AR-15 platform in that its like LEGO for Grown Up Kids. Well lack of interchangeability on a $500 stripped lower pretty much makes up my decision to steer clear especially when the retailer and members cant agree on which half fits. I would tend to think it would be aimed at the Canadian market thus built to accept Armalite/Colt type setup's instead of the more elitist brands like Noveske. But Im certainly not going to gamble $500 on it to find out.http://www.cadexdefence.com/spec_pdf/Cadex_AR10_Receiver.pdf
