Billet Lower thread
http://www.weaponevolution.com/forum...ted=1#post5317
Its taken entirely too long, but the Guide to Billet Lowers is up, or at least in the process of getting put up.
More pictures of the Tactical Innovations billet lowers will get put up, but I need to go out and shoot some more pictures before that can happen. All the images of it are showing items that involve NDAs, so I need to shoot some regular pictures. I'll see if I can get some of those shot today.
The next section will be of the Magpul Lowers, and I've got plenty of those pictures ready to go.
I know that Tactical Innovations makes another billet lower, but it looks like a standard lower, so I'm not including that one. I think that should include most of the main stream billet lowers, if there are any that I'm missing, let me know we'll see if they are available to include.

Just to clarify, Stickman, on the POF lowers:
Gen I: standard looking
Gen II: integral trigger guard
Gen III: integral trigger guard plus ambi bolt release

Their site doesn't show it, and they might not be making it anymore. I just wanted to clarify for folks who might run into one of those Gen II still floating around the market.

Several more billet lowers coming out in the very near future, including a 5.56 version with new lines, and a good looking .308 model as well. Two different companies, I'll put up more info as I get it, and pictures as well.

TKS makes a nice lower from my personal experience. TKS used to work for SunDevil until he decided to branch off. He still makes the forward assist uppers for SD. So design wise, you are looking at a SD lower with a built in trigger guard. Materials used is 6061 if that's important to you. Out of all the lowers we sell, we have the least amout of complaint calls coming from SD lowers which are also made from 6061. So personally, I haven't seen any real world concerns for 6061. I only have 1 TKS lower on a personal build so I can't comment too much on build quality but from what I see, I think it's a nice lower.

Its not uncommon for a company to subcontract work when the load is high. Nothing new about that, it wouldn't stun me if it were true.
