Buying lowers from private party sales

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Want to order about 10 poly new frontier lowers, problem is they only cost 22.50 each. Trying to work deal with local ffl, to get a cheaper transfer. Transfer fee is more than the lowers, lol. (23)Not to mention poly lpks are 35...

Poly lpk differ from aluminum?

I haven't seen any of the latest poly lowers but the original NFAs came with poly FCG and takedown pins. The trigger was actually pretty decent in the few I shot and they were a great option for a cheap 22 build. No idea on they would hold up over the long run but I never had an issue with the ones I tried.

For all the guys that are trying to figure out how to get a cheaper transfer. It's pretty easy to get a FFL but depends a lot on zoning and county rules. It'll give you a new outlook on customer relations and trying to make enough money on a transfer to make it worth your time. I'd be happy to talk you through what I did to get mine and some other things to consider before you decide to follow through.

Oh, yeah its CF not poly my goof. The lowers. Have about 180rds/5.56 thru my lightweight build, no issues yet. Also lifetime warr. 10 rd mag, 5 loaded under 5lbs.

Yep. Metal springs and such, but poly trigger and hammer.

I have a hard time imagining that poly would be acceptable material for a hammer and sear, ref. feel or longevity

Ati sells the omni series, all poly, upper/lower, hammer, trigger. Had one only had about 300 rds 300bo. No issues, no visible wear. Time will tell.Ymmv

Recently fired a poly and was very surprised with the trigger, clean glass rod feel with no mush or grind, really caught me off guard

Got one of those. Looking at it though, hammers coated but definitely metal , safe bet trigger is too from feel of it.
