Not trying to be an Azz but just a heads up the admin doesn't want any political talk on this thread.

Fight's back on, boys. Write your legislators to express your opinion. If you feel strongly about the 2nd Amendment, join the NRA or send them money. (I realize not everyone feels that the NRA is our best representative, but like it or not, they are at the tip of this particular arrow).

Don't forget to keep an eye on your state's legislative body.

Will this be your first AR if you ever get a chance to get one?

Its not truly political, its just informative. Were it in the automotive section of this site, it would be similar to discussing new safety regulations or CAFE restrictions.

We report, you decide.

I'm not trying to stir any particular political pot, merely inform the posters in this subforum of on-topic information.

Indeed. Lots of movement in Washington that can directly impact our firearms ownership that we need to be aware of.

When you get the lower back, check the mag well first thing, make sure your magazines all drop free easily. Some of these group buys are getting lowers that are labeled as blems, but are actually out-of-spec. CMMG has been notorious for that. In their defense, CMMG does label them as out of spec, but the distributers do not and they go to dealers that think they're just cosmetic blems. OTOH, one could wonder why CMMG is selling out-of-spec lowers at all instead of just trashing them like a quality mfgr would do. Given the intense buying pressure in the current environment, some of the less scrupulous mfgrs are letting some seriously QA-impaired stuff out the door.

Also, DPMS LPK's tend to be Chinese imports. Check to make sure you're not having trouble with the bolt-catch and mag release...they have a tendency to be out of spec. The biggest problem in such LPK's, however, is usually the safety selector. The B.A.D.A.S.S that you chose instead, however is absolutely top notch.

The group buy should be good quality forgings...its was a CalGuns Foundation Donation Group Buy. Its not something that the company had lying around. They're actually being forged just for the group buy.

As for the mag release, I have to use a Bullet Button here in cali so I'll be using the Raddlock instead of the one that comes with the kit. I'll keep an eye on the bolt catch though thanks

Another problem is, I have no damn magazine to check the mag well

Unfortunately it's not the forgings that are problematic, it's the machining, then the QA that the final mfgr applies in passing or rejecting the finished product.

Are these lowers being made by Addax?

I have 2 built lowers and no upper. Regret selling my old stag 5.56 model 2T. Sold it last year to buy some handguns. ..never thought this day would come. Double price uppers, some are 2.5x the price. Over $2,400 for an $1,200 colt. Damn.
