    80% AR15 lowers Aluminum

    what would the going price in CANADA be for a 80% Billet 6061 t6 ar15 lower?

    everyone seems to be into the poly lowers. but having machined glass filled nylon before, I would never attempt to do that even with a jig
    so has me thinking.
    what would the going price be in Canada for a good aluminum one

    So noob question.
    80% lower meaning the machining to make this lower functional to build off of is not complete therefore I can buy this without a PAL/RPAL or any paperwork?

    If that's the case, I can see why there is a demand. But personally I would rather have some custom completed 100% lowers offered from you but with custom serial #s
    That would be cool from a Canadian manufacturer..
    Just a suggestion.
    Maybe people want to chime in who would also like this?
    For interest gauging..

    270 seems like a decent price for a Canadian made 80% lower with a matching upper.

    Where you'd really have demand is a decent jig. Have you seen the one that uses a router?

    That'd be neat to have made locally.

    I was ahout to buy a polymer one but would definitely prefer an aluminum one. No idea of price range for aluminum.

    Upper Lower combo

    Lower. Made of 7075 which is actually higher grade than 6061

    Edit: sorry if you didn't want the links here, figured it was on topic...

    no problem on the dlask post, gives us an idea of price.
    as for 6061v 7075 one is not better then the other they are just different.
    + dlask items are forgings no billet, so as far as 80% goes,, there is hardly any work done to a forging that is 80%
    If we were to offer them they would be billet and much nicer.
    Just an idea at this point.

    I am curious, what is the attraction of 80% AR lowers? There is obviously a market for them, but other than a cool paperweight, what else are they used for? I am thinking that purchasing a 100% complete lower would be faster, cheaper and easier to register, etc. than one you finish yourself, or is this not correct? If you assembled an otherwise complete rifle on an 80% lower would it be considered a replica and therefore prohib?
