98Z5V Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Link, dude, link. You talking 5.56, .308, what here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Funnk Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 My bad. No link. It’s not on their website. Saw it in the store today.AR 15 lower for 79.99. Thinking about a 6.8spc or 6.5 Grendel build and everything I’ve read about them have been positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 It's solid. Their SR-762 lower needs a couple weird parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Look for Matrix lowers on Primary Arms, last I looked they made the Ruger stuff. http://www.primaryarms.com/search?keywords=matrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix "got known, publicly" with their own 308 receivers, because they made the 308s for Ruger. Perfect sense that they made ALL the stuff for Ruger ARs, large and small. Excellent point, brother...

COBrien Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Is there some master list of what companies actually manufacture uppers and lowers for certain arms makers? Everyone seems to be plugged in to who makes what for whom, and I'm out of the loop... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most everything on that line is hearsay. I have never seen anything from Ruger or Matrix directly confirming it but when you compare the the parts it leads you to that conclusion. I am pretty sure Chris an Live Free Armory confirmed it when he was selling Matrix but again, nothing directly from the manufacturer and I doubt you see any of them letting that info out officially from any manufacturer.

There are alot of companies that just "finished" raw uppers and lowers for other companies - they were the machinists, literally "making" the parts, with other companies names and rollmarks added to them, for those companies... Eventually, some of those "machining companies" started branding their own hardware, and selling it. Aero Precision started out this way. In the early days, they made lowers for Spike's Tactical and SAA - and still do for SAA. Stubborn Mule Outdoor Supply - this is top-tier hardware, right here. They started by manufacturing uppers and lower for two VERY high quality companies, before they started making their own stuff. I'm still pissed at myself for NOT getting one of their lowers (made for another company), before they stopped making/selling it. I missed out... CMT - makes ALOT of the parts for ALOT of OEM companies. The names continue - there are alot of companies out there that have their own lower, but they don't make it themselves. Someone else makes it for them. Very few companies make their own parts. In the old days, one of the only companies that absolutely made every single one of their own parts was Olympic Arms. I kid you not. Hellaciously accurate barrels, too. Edited June 8, 2018 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
