Alot of guys here use them without issue, but I'm not a fan. Here are a couple of links from just this week showing some of the issues that commonly crop up :

They work, just make the gun feel like a cheap toy since they're so lightweight. I'm personally not a fan but to each their own

The question is why would you with pricing for lowers back down to where it is? For example. the PSA blem/LPK combo they run all the time for $99 is less than a NFA lower and a seperate LPK. To each their own.

These are not "Builds". They are Bushmaster, that explains it...

Is forged better, in most cases yes... Are all poly bad, no...
