Because you don't "own plastic guns", like one idiot said on another board, watch these videos. They put a forged aluminum lower from a "major manufacturer" and the polymer lower in a press to see which is stronger. They also run over the polymer lower with an F-150 a couple of times and then shoot it.

I am thinking this really hurt your feelings when he called your gun "plastic".

Cool demo, however I wish he would not have changed angles then released it from the press. I wish he would have done it then and went straight to the mag test. Just left a little thought in my head. May have to order one though.

Those are polymer lowers that people tried to assemble. Thats why people wont buy them. If you want to google hesse or vulvan polymer lowers you can find a whole bunch more.

I think polymer lowers will one day rule, but not right now.
