Re: REVIEW OF NEW FRONTIER POLYMER AR15 LOWER

Yeah, almost all of the reviews and comments I've seen have been positive. As far as the forged vs composite issue, it's just the same old Ford vs Chevy argument we've all seen for years. It is to be expected. We all have our preferences.

These are good lowers at a good price and that's the bottom line.

Re: REVIEW OF NEW FRONTIER POLYMER AR15 LOWER

You know, I've been reading about these lowers on ALOT of other forums. I haven't run across anything like cracking or splitting. All I've seen is personal preference issues regarding forged or composite. That's it.

Not saying it didn't happen but it must be hidden very well.

REVIEW OF NEW FRONTIER POLYMER AR15 LOWER

Just wanted to provide an initial impression of this new light weight lower. The fit up between the LW15 lower and my JSE (http://www.jsesurplus.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) upper was extremely tight. I actually had to lean on the upper a bit to get it to snap into place. There is no slop at all. It's nice. As far as the safety lever, it's already starting to break in and move more freely. I just kept moving it back and forth and it is getting better.

An empty 30 round GI mag (C-Products) won't freely drop out yet, but it would with just 2 rounds in it, and I expect that to change with a little break in period. I do have some 30 round Thermold mags that do drop out freely. I haven't tried my P-mags or Tapco mags yet.

The 6 position stock is 3/4 of an inch longer when fully extended than my M&P15 and PSA lower. That is a huge plus for a big guy like me. I noticed it as soon as I shouldered the weapon. It is a much more natural and comfortable feel.

Then there is the weight difference. I intentionally bought the upper to be light and the LW15 lower is a perfect match to keep the rifle as light as possible. Even my wife noticed the difference. Uh-Oh , hope she doesn't think this is her's!!! It's not pink!!

All in all I'd say this is a very good lower at a great price, and I bought it from one of our own here on the forum.

David at Old Cannon Armory is really great to work with. He is very knowledgeable, very friendly, and willing to try to help out however he can. I will definitely continue to do business with him.

Here is a link to the New Frontier site:

Now I just need to get to the range and shoot it.
