Billet is pretty. But it's also weaker, ounce for ounce than a forged 7075T6 receiver. In order to maintain equivalent strength, billet has to be heavier. Additionally, most billet AR manufacturers are using 6061 aluminum, which is cheaper and about 40% weaker than 7075.Why is billet bad? I'm sorry to derail this thread with a serious question.
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.Why is billet bad? I'm sorry to derail this thread with a serious question.
Heck, you don't even need a CNC. You just have to have the phone number of someone with one.It's not that it's "bad" per se, it's just maybe an inferior product to forged lowers.

And clearly, in the intervening - what? - three years, he doesn't seem to have bothered to figure it out. In the video I posted he is still using incorrect nomenclature.But this whole thing wasn't just about billet. It was mostly about the manufacturer not knowing the difference between forged and billet, at one point even confusing it with castings.

...and his feelings are going to be hurt after he looks up the word nomenclature.And clearly, in the intervening - what? - three years, he doesn't seem to have bothered to figure it out. In the video I posted he is still using incorrect nomenclature.
