Crowdfunded AR-15 Upper Receivers
Crowdfunding seems to be all the rage these days, especially with AR-15 80% lower receivers. What’s crowdfunding you ask? It’s pretty much a way for companies to build capital to help fund a new product, with regular folks from the internet as backers of these projects. There have already been a number of AR lowers on RocketHub over the past few months, but now it looks like AR-15 uppers are the next thing for gun crowd sourcing projects. Northwest Precision is offering backers stripped 7075 aluminum AR-15 uppers starting at $35 for a non-anodized version and $40 for a black anodized version. According to Northwest Precision you’ll get your upper even if they don’t reach their goal of $20,000. So if you have a new AR-15 build in the works, or if like me you’ve already funded a few 80% lowers, this new crowdsourcing campaign might be worth a shot if you’re looking for a budget priced stripped upper.

This is NW Precision, And yes as our campaign says this is a new endeavor for us. We are an established machine shop that took is upon ourselves (5 family members) 3 of which are owners of the machine shop that doesn't do anything with gun parts. We made a website and extablished a new Corp, completely seperate from our other business, for many reasons. A few being the gun industry is widely opposed and being that our shop has funders that didn't want to be involved we branched off and started our own company. We have the equipment and experience needed to make quality parts. We understand your reserve and crowd funding isn't for everyone. This is an oppertunity for a few to get involved in something bigger than themselves and by doing so will get a at cost product.
Thanks Team NW Precision
