jtallen83 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Ounce for ounce, inch for inch forged is a touch stronger but billet can be machined to be stronger by leaving thicker material at stress points. Most of it boils down to aesthetics, billet will usually have more artistic lines, integral trigger guards, bigger openings in the magwell, stuff like that. The integral trigger guard is the biggest plus in my book, saves the stress you have worrying about breaking off an ear when installing the roll pin for the trigger guard, doubt it happens very often but always stresses me until the pin is in.
survivalshop Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 You really can't go wrong with both of them . Thats an idea , build one of each & then you can compare for your next build .
DD_Raptor Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Well it seems as if it doesn't really matter (outside of polymer) which one you choose. I do like the fact as jtallen83 mentions the trigger guard. To me that's just one less worry, component to buy. So for now I want a billet stripped receiver. Check! Aero, TM, BRO to be determined later. Edited July 10, 2016 by DD_Raptor
DD_Raptor Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Posted July 10, 2016 Ok now that I have narrowed down the stripped lower, lets talk about the stuff that makes it go bang. But not to include the stock or related assemblies. How do choose the trigger group? Forged/non forged, safety thingy, not to mention all those little springs, pins and such in there.

Brownells, if you buy from them please go they the banner on the page it helps keep things running here. You can buy kits or you can piece it together, when I did my lower I pieced a kit together with higher quality/more unique parts. Spend alil bit more but I like what I got
shepp Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Cleaned it up I don't wanna hear anything more about it......
