At the bottom says 10 to 12 week wait.  Still ordered one though.  Cheap compared to a certain shop in Oahu who is asking over twice that.

Looks like this company just started this year. Has anyone gotten one of these yet?

In fairness these are poly not metal so that's a major difference.  The second sentence is another eyebrow raiser.
I got one also to give it a try!

80% Lowers are our current specialty.

We are the original and only non metal 80% manufacturer of a jigless project

Our lowers are specially made so that the average DIY type can accomplish a build with minimal tooling and minimal time.

fwiw metal ones can be had for $179 - double the pre panic prices and of course backordered everywhere.  Not for the impulsive but if you need paperweights that's the way it is.

Ah, being poly makes a big difference. I thought it was strange that I couldn't find any mention of the material it was made out of.

Just me, but I wouldn't trust a polymer lower that hasn't been tested. If you guys get yours finished, it'd be great to see the results.

This is the first run so nobody no nuttin' :)  CAV Arms / New Frontier have their own following as well as detractors.  I treat this one as novelty since it is a paperweight albeit maybe the coolest one you could ever have?  But it has come to this in light of all the ban proposals.  The only other paperweight alternative is the bolt together 80% and those are unobtanium still.

Also, try not to dig at SpeedTek.  Yes theirs expensive but at least putting them up for sale and even free use of a jig, that counts for something.  We all know prices suck currently.

clear would be cool though

I saw one made out of plexi. The guy told me 223 will make stress cracks or break it. 22 is ok.

this has been a travesty so far.  the original website is no more now, changing to eparmory.com and a rather large price increase.  as far as I know, all "oversold" pre-orders were refunded.  the owner has stated prices were going to be increased yet again too.  if the anti-gun bills fail I expect panic prices will collapse so YMMV.  but still, a clear lower!  GL out there.

Hello. My name is John I am with E P Lowers. I found this thread through a google search. Unfortunately we initially tried to open for preorders back in February; there was so much interest it crashed the website. We had to build a new one that could handle more traffic. We opened for orders on June 7 and have lowers in stock and ready to ship. Please click this link to find product information and youtube completion videos as well as a lot of answers to already asked questions  http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=788458 Thank you so much!

EP Lowers offers an 80% completed AR-15 lower receiver unlike any other in the firearms industry. We offer the first ever 80% polymer lower available and the only 80% lower that requires no jig to complete. We are calling it the EP-80.

Why have polymer lowers failed in the past? Perhaps: 1. Polymer lowers where manufactured identical in dimension to aluminum alloy lowers. 2. Polymer lowers where manufactured from material that was not as strong as aluminum alloys. 3. There was no consideration in design for a change in the material.

Our lowers are constructed of an ultra strong fiber reinforced polymer. The exact composition is proprietary but I will say its much stronger than any 100% polymer lower available and although we believe our material would be strong enough as is, Our design reinforces the area of the front pivot pin holes and the buffer tube area with additional material where lesser polymer lowers from other manufacturers have failed.

Our product is very strong and durable; much more so than any other polymer lower. You see polymer lowers are injection molded; in the case of our product they are injection molded and then have to survive being milled by our customers. So our 80% lowers are really required to be much stronger for this reason. Also we wanted to have the best product out there and I think we have got that.

There are distinct advantages to going with an 80%. Yes its going to take some work but not without instilling a sense of accomplishment when completed; and our lowers are the easiest and cheapest to complete because our lowers require no jig and no special tools. In that respect we have a distinct advantage within the 80% market.

Why no jig? The fire control pocket is dissimilar in color so it’s clearly outlined what needs to be removed. In the case of the black lowers just mill out the white and leave the black area and you’re done. Fire control and pivot pin areas are clearly marked for drilling. As with standard metal lowers it will take a competent person to complete them; however they are lighter and stronger than alloy. Our product is made in the USA; and we offer a lifetime limited warranty.

We offer multiple colors; these colors are solid so unlike anodized or painted lowers there is no surface coating to scratch; the colors is the same throughout so if it gets scratched just buff it out good as new.

Something funny with those links on my pc.  Try these:





As noted on another thread I think these are the best 80% I've seen, lots of novel features and thank you for the swag too.
