I just went out and bought a LW-15 fully built lower for $99.99 + D.O.J..I cant wait to pick it up.
any review on the lower? I planned on mounting this on my .450BM.

Looks promising. Let us know how it holds up over time! Great price it seems.

If you visit their website under the "In Action/ Torture Test" video they use the lower with a 450 Bushmaster upper. I'll have to keep these guys in mind for future builds. Nice find.

So it's of the same concept as the plum crazy lowers. While the bulk of the lower may be up for the task of a 450b, I wonder how many rounds before the takedown pin holes elongate? I ask this with an admitted personal bias against plastic and gun part being used in the same sentence. I keep abreast to modern material technology and acknowledge some of the recent gains in polymer strength, but damn, it bugs me all the same.

916trdtaco, good luck on the lower. A lot of guys are saying it looks identical to the PCL.
Most of the negative posts are by guys who don't own one, either the LW-15 or the PCL.
Hoot I hear ya, that's why I bought the PCL, seeing is believing.
916 here's a link to my post about my PCL. If they are anything alike, it's a bear to get it on the first time.

I look forward to you two posting the occasional "450b round count" and any observations on how they wear. I'm an older, biased dog, but I'm also open to paradigm shift. If you asked me 3 years ago if I'd ever have more than the one black rifle I had out of curiosity, I would have laughed at you.

Arf arf...

Man, I cant wait til I get my Lower. I'm sorry that I didnt get a chance to post up a pic of my lower, But I went onto New Frontier Armory's website and pull
out an image of the exact same lower with the specs. Everything on the Lower its polymer, but I heard that you can actually change out the hammer and pins, trigger with a standard Ar-15 lower parts kit....there will be a link to a torture test with the hammer striking some sort of object, its supposed to be a rate of fired....??

When I got the SBR( Sacramento Black Rifle) Mike told me that I the first customer to walk out the store with the Lower...I was wondering why..? Mike told me that factory is Back Order and also they have none in Stock...Not for a Long Time...But Damn I'm Glad i bought mine when It first came out. Check out the pics..
