5D Tactical lowers - shipping delays??

[Old Noob]

Best deal I've found on raw AR lowers lately is from Always Armed

AR15 80% LOWER RECEIVER 5 PACK - BLEMISHED

This 5 pack of AR 15 80% Lower Receivers in the raw is ready to be "drilled and milled" and become the first step towards your next build. No FFL required.

Those are AR-15 lowers. We are talking AR-10 /.308 lowers.

Price is OK, but made from 6061 is not optimum. Have you bought from them before? Quality is good?? Shipping times??
This thread is mostly about shipping times and company's selling products they don't really have in stock.

I'm sorry, I thought this thread was about finding a 308 lower

 

[billdeserthills]

I actually have the 5-D system & I've made four of the 308 lowers. One had the hole for the selector switch drilled in the wrong place, which caused my selector switch to flop limply from safe to fire. I returned that lower because it was obviously defective & at the time I was upset with the company I purchased it from but now I realize they were only a distributor & had little to do with drilling my lower incorrectly.

I have found 80% lowers can be milled a bit off & there is no way to tell most of the time, until you actually cut the fire control pocket which may be too late.

Fortunately I find it is rather rare but in any case the manufacturing of these lowers is never done by the sellers of the product

Hmmmm...

Coincidence?

Same supplier of parts to retailer?

 

[Old Noob]

Don't think so, They were in stock when I purchased. I called to make sure they had them.
Only took them 8 days to ship item out. Webpage say 14-21 days. Think I did good. Plus I saved $10.

OUR CURRENT SHIPPING TIMES ARE 14-21 BUSINESS DAYS.

The only carbines in pistol calibers I will have are 5.7 & .44 mag, and the latter only on a whim

 

[billdeserthills]

I only made the pistol caliber carbines I have cause they were available. Thing is I only have two hands & way too many guns to fill them with

That's the way to be.

Building AR's has been very addicting
