Saw this on FB...

I'll pair it with my 16 inch psa upper and bring back a full report on exactly what happens.

Damn, I bet that woke the guy up that was shooting the Bushmaster, better than a triple expresso!

I personally wouldn't use any poly receivers, might be ok for just a range gun, but for anything that's gonna demand reliability and trust in the weapon it wouldn't be a good choice. I've seen them crack, blow up, melt and so on.. also I've damaged standard lowers while in Afghanistan, so poly would not hold up in any kind of combat or defensive situation for very long

Same here.

Specially considering you can pick up a forged lower for $45-50 .... why mess with polymer?

Shrek just broke a lower too. He said he's been using it for three years and just now broke it. Says he would do it the same way again. I canst imagine why, other than obstinance.

I wouldn't waste the time and money especially when there are so many good options out there.

Yep. Doesn't even make financial sense so why bother.
