308 forged 80% lower

[Albroswift]

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?

Noreen is about the only one I've seen in awhile.

You could call these folks up and ask them who else supplies them

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.

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
