Albroswift Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Have turned out two 308 platform builds using AMT Billet 80% lowers. Mill OK and function properly but clearly the non-OEM lines of a milled billet lower. I want to find a true "Forged" 308 80%, not a "Billet" or "Forged Billet" lower. Plenty of options for forged on AR15 blanks, but can't find one in the 308/ DPMS platform. Second question, anyone use a Noreen 80% 308 lowers? Everything compatible? What other 308 80% lowers are you all having good luck with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenworks Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Noreen is about the only one I've seen in awhile. You could call these folks up and ask them who else supplies them https://www.righttobear.com/noreen-DPMS-80-percent-raw-billet-308-lower-p/n-fg-308.htm Edited January 19, 2020 by Ravenworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenworks Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Here is another supplier,I bought 2 lowers from them last year. They don't have the large frames listed anymore,but you could call them. https://www.zrtacticalsolutions.com/shop/80-forged-ar15-lower/ Edited January 19, 2020 by Ravenworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albroswift Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Thanks. The Noreen forged looks kind of rough in the pictures, don't see any boss at all around the mag release. No problems at all with the AMT except for the non-OEM look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenworks Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) The stuff that I got from Right to Bear Arms had used threaded fixtures instead of using roll pins. They were 1st rate and don't know why they are not available anymore. I did talk to these folks last fall, they told me that going into the 2nd quarter that they were going to be making all their own stuff. Again, you could call them They were the most reasonable company out there selling the 5-D Tactical jig https://www.ceratac.com/default.asp Edited January 19, 2020 by Ravenworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
