#Ar-15Lower

Picture it! SHOT Show 2019. There I was, staring at the display of AK variant rifles at the Rifle Dynamics open house, when I noticed that there wasn’t a single AR-15. RD is known to make some of the highest quality AKs on the market, but why stop there? Well, it appears they didn’t. Welcome the Rifle Dynamics AR15 lowers, stripped and ready for your next build.

Aero Precision's Skeletonized AR Lower
Looking to build the lightest AR-15 possible? Well this might be right up your alley. Aero Precision posted a picture of their skeletonized AR-15 lower on their Facebook page to see how much interest there was in such a lower. It’s machined from 7075-T6 forged aluminum and will work with all standard AR magazines and components. How light is it? According to Aero Precision their skeletonized lower is just .357lbs vs .526lbs for their standard lower, a 32% reduction in weight. According to this Aero Precision product page they may retail for $150 if they actually make them. Aero Precision even posted a video of their prototype lower showing it functioning after being covered in gravel. Thoughts?
Clear 80% AR-15 Lowers
It seems like a ton of new AR-15 lowers have been hitting the market over the past few months. From lightweight magnesium alloy lowers and polymer 80% lowers to jigless 80% lowers. In case you couldn’t get enough news about lowers here’s something new, EP Lowers is working on a clear 80% lower. No you read that right, a clear AR-15 lower. EP Lowers didn’t go into specifics on what their new lower is made out of other than it contains a polycarbonate. Why a clear lower you ask? I have no idea, but it looks pretty interesting. It might be a good way to demonstrate how an AR-15 functions, and a good excuse to build another AR. EP Lowers posted a sneak peek of their new lower on their Facebook page and even hinted that they were working on a clear upper as well.
