I hate the 15-22 as well because of its plastic receiver. I have already had to repair mine and I wouldn't even own it if it wasn't the only option for running a Slidefire on a 22
I smell the end of high AR prices coming ..... NFA lowers in stock limit 5 per person

Have you ever carried it for 16 hours?
If my life came to the point where I had to carry an AR for 16 hours, I'd want it to be an AR that wouldn't crack open like a cocoanut if I dropped it so I'd welcome the extra weight.
Injection molded, glass fill, mineral reinforced nylon doesn't "crack open".
Ive carried a rifle for 16+ hours... It sucks. As a civilian walking 100's of acres in NW Georgia I'll tote a "plastic AR". I carry a plastic pistol too.
Lets just hope you don't have to "mortar" a stuck round out of the chamber.
Oh, I hope you guys don't get me wrong. I am a reformed steel and wood guy. The applications for a poly AR are there, the weight savings are negligible at best. But with lots of carry where weight management is essential. I will shave weight everywhere I can.
I need to drop about 100lbs from my fat ass before I start worrying about the weight difference between a forged aluminum or a poly lower receiver.
A good BM is a great start.
I love the little 9mm Star. Do you have one you would like to sell?.

Sure, gotta go take a "Colt" first.
