...and his feelings are going to be hurt after he looks up the word nomenclature.
It's not that it's "bad" per se, it's just maybe an inferior product to forged lowers. All lowers are milled, it's just that billet lowers come from a chunk of raw aluminium whereas forged lowers are, well, forged aluminium...arguable stronger and definitely lighter. Billet lowers crop up everywhere because all you need is a bunch of pieces of aluminium and a six-axis milling machine and you're in business. Literally can make them in your garage.
Ever since John died a few years ago, that company has been adrift. I consider it as pandering to it's perceived audience. The AR market is saturated right now and obsessed with how the rifles look, not necessarily how they perform. It's more important how operator they look on Instagram than how they function in real life. For me and my money, unless it's a second cool thing, billet is always the wrong answer. Heavier, weaker, bigger.Another derail perhaps, but Noveske looks to have switched to Billet with their Gen 3 lowers while Gen 1/2 were forged. Do you consider this a step back, cost-cutting, etc?

Let's face it, these days no one is going to pay Noveske prices for a gun built on forged milspec style receivers. Being different is a necessity in the $2K+ price range. It doesn't do anything better or even differently, but it is distinctively Noveske. And folks buying Noveske today, want everyone to know at a glance what they are using.Ever since John died a few years ago, that company has been adrift.

What do you have against Christians?Also, fair play to you, @NWSharpshooter ... the "Christian based company" thing drives me up a wall!
What do you have against Christians?
In all seriousness though when folks start talking about their virtues as a Christian in business dealings I usually know with good certainty that they are not going to behave in accordance to those virtues.
