I'm new to this rifle scene & just got back into the shooting too after 16-17 years. Just bought a Stag Arms Model 2 & did a little upgrade to it & more to come in the months ahead, so far I really love my new rifle  Now I want to build a AR from scratch, I usually do my research before I make a final decision on what I buy. There's only a few reviews on the MAG Tactical lowers online & so far I only seen mixed reviews on it, what's your thoughts on the MAG Tactical lowers who ever owns 1. 

I am the distributor and tech rep for Hawaii.

They are great lightweight lowers. The finish which is cerakoted tends to scratch easily.

They are working on it. Not suppose to happen.

The first batch was duracoated. And it didnt stick to the magnesium well

There is a pic of one that cracked on the internet. It is NOT the lowers fault. It was a squib round followed by another round.
Even the bolt carrier was destroyed.

It is 30% Aluminum.  Yes its cast by lost wax method.

I am down to about 4.25 lbs for a complete AR in 556 without mag.  We are making some lightweight parts and will be at 3.75 lbs soon

In testing we have found no problems. Shooting both 556 & 762x39.

I have built several using new frontier polymer trigger groups. The whole lower with a Magpul MOE buttstock is 1.5 lbs

If you want to build a lightweight AR its a start.

If you have any questions you can call me at 636-7118 direct.

Thanks for your response & info SpeedTek.. Is it possible these lowers can get powder coated also?

I think MAG Tactictal lowers are great. Here's a pic of a recent build I did from scratch. It's a 9mm AR that we designed specifically around the MAG Tac. lower. If you're familiar with 9mm AR's, you'd know that pistol caliber AR's are much heavier than standard ones due to heavier parts. Most of those parts are there to handle the recoil force on the lower since it is blowback/recoil operated and not DI or gas piston. The lower was chosen to offset the added weight of the parts to bring it back down to a "normal" AR weight. It didn't hurt that the receiver is a very good value for the quality that you are getting. Coating could be better, but it's not like it's going to rust, so I'm fine with a few small scratches that may show up over time. Hope this helps you out. Good luck.
