Lightweight BALIOS Billet Upper and Lower Receiver Sets from 2A Armament

[MoxyDave]

These new receivers from 2A Armament look pretty sweet. I like a lightweight build in .22lr, otherwise I really don't care much but weight weenies might want to have a look. I think these are probably a better option than a skeletonized aluminum or polymer receiver.

I like the minimalist markings and the built-in sling points, and the machining looks pretty good.

IMO, the cooler version is the lite one.

Well dang, that's what I thought I was posting. Ha!

[Pyzik]

Haha.

That second lower is sick!

[GOST]

I like the first lower better, but what do I know.

If you were too lazy to click the link above, they are $264.95 for the Lite Lower, and $216.95 for the Lite upper. I don't think that's much more than some high end billet upper receiver sets.

Well I used you as my out.

Since you didn't post, I had to take the extra step to click on them myself and figure it out. That was complete Corn... with a K.

Gotta say that I really like the way they blended the PMAG crosshatch into the magwell, so that the look of the magazine continues into the lower.

The last time I looked the Lites were still pre-order status. Today, there are 90 of them from the first run still available. Must resist.......I have other things I need to accumulate right now.

Besides, you already have a bad ass lower coming.

[RiverRat]

Hence needing to accumulate some other stuff.

I've already started looking for a billet upper that looks right. The way the entire top edge is beveled on that lower makes it a little more diffiicult to find an upper that seems well-suited.

Yes, it's a "barbie doll, first world" problem, but it's going to be something that I'll notice forever if I don't get it right.

So far the closest billet upper I've seen that matches is the Rainier Arms Billet. No time table yet on when San Tan will release their upper. It's gone through a few revisions...

back on topic...

Finally the upper we've been asking for. A little pricey though.
