Aero Precision Skeletonized Lower, Would you buy one?

[UWone77]

Aero Precision is putting out some feelers about a Skeletonized Lower. Lately Aero Precision has put out some great lowers starting with their "PEW" lower then their Ghost Gun lower. However, this is a bit on the extreme side for those who like to own one of everything. This is still in the should we produce this product phase. Here's a sneak peak of what it will look like, and a short video.

I think we can see some of the drawbacks on a skeletonized lower, but I'm sure a ton of people would be interested in it for aesthetics. Don't shoot the messenger.

Would you buy one? Or is this not a good idea?

meh....

[rxer311]

I would definitely get one. I wouldn't use it as a fighting gun...but I would use it to build something fun.

[Mrgunsngear]

I'd get one. Okay… I'd get like 5 :D

Probably not. Dirt test aside, you can't convince me this thing wouldn't be the largest crap catcher ever built. Also just waiting to catch a string from your jacket, or some other foreign object, from the outside to jam your weapon. If it were used for competition only, I'd still be skeptical, until it had been well tested and evaluated by individuals not working in the "sales" staff, who have had success or failure with it.

A little bling is cool, but this stuff is getting ridiculous. I say upgrade existing designs with increased/improved functionality, not introduce a "Star Wars" lower. Change, for the better, or even attempted improvement is cool, but change, just for the sake of change, is usually a monumental waste of time.

Change that to, absolutely not.

no..........

[GOST]

No

Nope. Stupid idea unless its only for a demonstration gun to show how an AR lower's internals work. But for something I'd shoot, nope.

[MoxyDave]

Not interested. If I want a lightweight lower for plinking, I'd pick up a composite ATI hybrid.

Probably not. Dirt test aside, you can't convince me this thing wouldn't be the largest crap catcher ever built. Also just waiting to catch a string from your jacket, or some other foreign object, from the outside to jam your weapon.

My thoughts exactly.

Haha..sure if your buying..ill T&E one of them..

Nope. Even a piece of a blown primer or other debris in or under the FCG can lock it up. With that said, build it and there will be those who will buy.

I would consider it if they somehow managed to put lexan in all the openings. But I'll pass
