ar lower
How would you rate those composite lowers for an AR. think they would hold up verses other regular lowers.

I have an all polymer Carbon-15 - had it for about 12 years, maybe longer. I've put plenty of rounds through it and there's no wear and tear on the lower or the upper receivers.

With forged aluminum lowers available for as low as $60, why even bother with the polymer ones?

In the case of the AR-15, it wasn't. |

Yet, I don't see any complaints about having those options available. Regardless.... The AR-15 lower receiver is more fragile than it appears. The difference between polymer and aluminum is negligible. Polymer actually has a leg up on aluminum in the deformation category.... It springs back!
