Custom AR15 lower concept...
Since the custom WEVO lower is coming together on its own - which is awesome - lets see what needs to happen in order for us to get a lower that everyone wants, maybe get a sponsor for the forum to make a custom run for us (100 or so, depending on interest - like Aero has done in the past).
Things I'd like in a custom lower:
integrated finger guard into lower - like santan, seekins, etc
ambi controls - like KAC, AXTS, etc
"Restricted LE/MIL" text - like colt, but we can change it to something more awesome
Custom fire control symbols (maybe 45 degree?) - something that hasn't been done before like Thumbs up(safe), Thumbs down(semi) and (if we want a full auto option) double-thumbs down or something like that...
Maybe a flared magwell
Material used for lower? Billet? Etc?
Opinions! Post them.

I like the idea of a fully customized lower. Your ideas all sound good but we will all have to agree on text, markings, etc. I'd like to follow this

I know San Tan has also offered to make a custom run for WEVO on lower receivers.

I prefer standard forged lowers, but I really wish they had integrated trigger guards. I also prefer very minimal markings, for both the roll mark and the selector. Sometimes I wish Aero only had the small A on the right side, and not the larger A on the left.
My preferences should come as no surprise considering how I run my rifles and the parts my company makes. :)Will - Owner of Arisaka LLC - http://www.arisakadefense.com

I'm in. Sounds fun...
I've always wanted to do "Restricted NASA" As a play on the SpaceShuttle Doorgunner theme."The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." - - Albert Einstein

I'd like a "Restricted" roll mark........ but yea, I'd be down for a forge set as the cost of those will be lower than a billet one.
BRUUUHHHH....Do you EVEN OPERATE?!?!

Yep. Forged sets do it for me too, albeit they don't have ambi controls.

"Restricted NASA" does have a pretty funny ring to it...maybe a door gun/shuttle logo instead of a wevo logo? maybe a shuttle with a wevo logo on the rear tail?
Forged is good, doesn't need to have ambi in that case - also minimal markings if we will go that route?

If we go minimal markings, we could do something like: WEVO logo w/ slashed circle (safe), WEVO logo (semi), Dirty Girl (unicorn) ... perhaps that would appease some folks?
A nice forged lower works for me - save everyone some money that way too.

I was thinking tiny wevo logo, like the size of the Aero Precision 'A' on this picture: http://aeroprecisionusa.com/media/ca...anodized_1.jpg
