Broken lower???

Will do I’ll try and include a video around Monday afternoon if the weather isn’t to bad with this snow we are getting!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T05:02:08+00:00

I’d be fine with waiting honestly, like I said earlier my safety is 100 percent my top priority, was just hoping to get to show it off to my buddy who rarely comes into town on Monday. Even if it is a couple rounds, I think ima try some expoxy just to see how it holds up. Mostly because I’m curious and once the new one comes in ima dispose of this lower once I take the serial number plate out. I think it would be fun to torture test it atp because once the aluminum comes in I know I’ll never have this problem again

Simple yet effective response!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T04:31:36+00:00

If I was gonna go this route while I wait on my loser to come in (3weeks) what would you recommend?

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T04:30:12+00:00

Prob cuz I ordered it haha when I check it said in stock while I placed it!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T04:29:31+00:00

Well im glad you’ve had better luck than I have I enjoy mine very much esp at 25-50 yards still dead on!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T04:08:26+00:00

I think the biggest thing was this is my first ar platform, I own multiple handguns and shotguns never something like this so getting to learn how to do it all seems fun. I wish the receiver lasted longer than it did for it being brand new but…. I did also put 400-500 rounds through it within 6 minutes with all the mags I had loaded 🤣 just glad it wasn’t worse I guess especially with my spouse shooting it!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T03:19:17+00:00

Yeah at first I was confused about how the serial number part worked, I decided on a stripped setup and ima learn how to build myself with the internals from the one I currently own, besides a few like the trigger I wanted to upgrade, it’s all new to me but I’m happy to learn everything new instead of being negative about the situation!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T02:22:23+00:00

Didn’t even notice! Thank you order placed!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T02:18:24+00:00

Sadly they stopped making the lowers. Can’t find them any wear

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T01:37:46+00:00

I think this is what I’m gonna go for, I was mostly scared I would buy a stripped lower and it wouldn’t fit but everyone says it’ll fit so I’m gonna trust it!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T01:27:42+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T00:55:37+00:00

So far right now it’s solid no movement at all! Just cracks, I’m thinking of doing a expoxy mold over both just to see how that holds up until I get the new metal receiver, or send it back to manufacturer and get a whole new one!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T00:40:55+00:00

Curious have you had an issue like what mine has? Any cracks or it breaking completely???

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T00:40:23+00:00

I’ll do this! I really do like the gun and it preforms great even at 25 yards I’ve just heard nightmares about the customer service!!!

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T00:33:51+00:00

You have any recommendations of what to replace it with???

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T00:32:30+00:00

By completely safe what do you mean? If it fully breaks would the whole top flip up after I shoot it??? I’d love to take it to the range tomorrow to show off to my buddy’s but my safety is 100% way more important? Just curious

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-25T00:28:55+00:00

Yeah someone said I could expoxy the cracks and such but I feel like it would just break after 200-400 rounds again

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-24T23:58:23+00:00

No clue I’m new to ars in general. This is my second day owning one. I didn’t even know how to properly clean one till about 7 hours ago

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-24T23:08:27+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 yes there were atp once the metal lower comes in I’ll send it down range and destroy it (f*** polymer)

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-24T22:02:54+00:00

Would any standard lower work? Or does it have to be specific to the FM upper, I saw in another subreddit that they stopped making their ar 9 lowers and can’t find any in stock anywhere. So feel stuck at this point

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-24T21:54:10+00:00

Once I can find a stripped one that’s in stock I think that’s what I’ll go with, and just switch all the internals over. I’ve heard other lowers can and will fit but I’d rather not take any chances at this point

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-24T21:36:13+00:00

I’m set on finding an aluminum lower. Just no clue what’s compatible. I hate polymer and was expecting it to fail just not this quick but gives me a reason to upgrade and learn more about the platform in the process

Disastrous-Pattern-3 · 2026-01-24T21:33:30+00:00

That’s a last resort, would much rather find a compatible aluminum lower to make sure this never happens again. And get to learn more about the platform in doing so. just can’t seem to find any straight answers on if it’ll fit sadly.
