Forcefed was gracious enough to have me over to play show and tell with the Plum Crazy lower he has so I was able to see one first hand. Mating it to an upper seemed to be a bit tough with the tight tolerances on the lower, but once installed it seemed really solid. The trigger was surprising for a factory lPK. It was a bit stiff, but there was hardly any creep, broke very cleanly, and there was no grittiness that could be associated with the LPK from somewhere like DPMS. The fit and finish looked good. No extra flashing like you see on cheap molded plastic, it seems that they took their time to either get the manufacturing process right, or clean it up really well at the factory. All moving parts were solid and smooth. All in all nothing really felt "plasticy" about it like I was expecting.

Still on the fence about buying one, but this has certainly given me food for thought.

I'm quite tempted to pick one up myself at that price point

And with these you can take your AR through the metal detectors at the airport, like those porcelain Glock pistols.

If someone wants to get a group buy together for these, drop me a PM. I would like a complete lower. Mating one of these to a DPMS sportical upper seems like a cheap/lightweight AR.

i'm not sure how i feel about a polymer lower on an AR, but that's just my opinions. keep in mind the FNH SCAR is a polymer lower reciever, and i think the Bushmaster ACR is as well (might be wrong about that one though). polymers are made to hold up, no doubt about it, but i think the main reason i want an AR-15 is because of the familiarity to my service rifle from the Corps. a lower made of recycled milk cartons would not feel the same, no way, no how

The Trigger group on the ACR is in a box (think timney drop in boxes) that helps reinforce it.

Just went through the airport, they're scanning everyone. Or you get the metal detector and patdown. No exceptions right now.

If anybody is interested in a group buy on these, let me know. I can start a new thread, if I can get 10 or more orders, it would be $99 tax included for the complete lowers w/6pos stock.

hell bushmaster makes several "plastic" ARs. http://www.bushmaster.com/catalog_carbon15_az-c1516m4FT.asp One of my friends has a plum lower, hes had no problems with it. i personally think it looks a little cheap but it is light and it works.
