With an 80% lower you could engrave it to suit suit your build. You aren't selling it so copyright logos are less of a legal issue. They would make a good foundation for a clone build.
Plus there bus the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
Would these look like a standard lower? I'd be in for a standard looking 80% lower. The issue just comes down to price point for the lower and the jig.

Thanks for the explanation guys, that all makes sense. I think I would like an 80% Thompson M1A1 receiver
I don't know about price, but an 80% aluminum lower with jigs would be hot seller. I think the polymer ones sell quick up here cause they are the only ones that come with a jig.
Yeah both will work more than fine for an AR lower. 7075 has much higher tensile strength than 6061 due to using different alloying elements. But it's not like you need massive strength in a part where polymer works most of the time.
And yeah for sure a billet part would have a much nicer fit and finish. Good luck!
My friend got a dlask 80% although nice, they are not quite 80% I'd say more like 65% but they are only game in town... Not for a noob...
If your willing and able to complete an 80% lower make your own jig.
lots of printable templates and info on the web. Making your own jigs and fixtures for your mill is great practice and very satisfying
Let every soldier past and present know that you remember and are thankful of their sacrifice. Thank you
