    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

    Nothing is cut in stone, just want to start a group-think project since we have enough players on WEVO to make this happen and have it offered to the general consumer public as well.

    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. :)

    I like minimal, in fact, unless something is absolutely required it shouldn't be there.

    I'm in. Sounds fun...

    I've always wanted to do "Restricted NASA" As a play on the SpaceShuttle Doorgunner theme.

    +1 I usually end up Cerakoting stuff to get rid of logos. This comes from a guy who designs logos as a side business.

    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.

    The WEVO Rainier Arms Gen 3 isn't even out yet and you're already wanting something different.

    "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

    And that's it.
