Not in stock but still a good find.

Wondering what the benefits of a billet are over a basic forged?

Forged is slightly stronger but billet looks much nicer. No rough edges and very smooth.

from arfcom
quote:
The advantages are in the manufacturing; a forging requires a large initial investment in tooling, but the payback comes in the ability to mass produce consistent, strong parts relatively cheaply on a per item basis.
Manufacturing from a billet (assuming a forged billet) has a lower initial cost investment for the manufacturer since the parts are produced on a one-off basis. The drawback of this approach is that it takes longer to produce a part, and is therefore more expensive on a per item basis.
The strength issues compared to a forged part can be compensated by adding more material in the billet part, but realistically I don't believe that the strength differences between a forged billet upper/lower and a forged upper/lower are all that great.

Want to do that deal for 4k rounds next week?

Possibly. I have 7,000 I'm bringing my guy on Monday. I'll ask him how much more he is going to want when I meet up with him. Keep trying to sell it on your end

I'm out of the lower game now that the AWB is just about dead. Still a good deal.
Anyone know what Seekins lowers cost pre Sandy hook? I have the 1 I need to do my build so I don't want to be stuck
