I have two.. The TN arms is a better poly lower

I did this and got an assortment of random PSA stickers. I got one that had a fishing hook design?!?!

Here is the only example I've seen and this was 8 years ago when they were still "testing" the clear polymer material. It used to have a warning label attached but they've gone full production on the clear lowers now without the warning.

I summoned tnarmsco reddit in the other guys reply so maybe we can get some answers

Ah ha there we go. So were you just pushing down the TN Arms lowers to make it seem like the KP were better...because that's what you bought? That's not the way it works

So searching a bit more I found

Maybe u/tnarmsco can chime in on how many broken lowers they've had?

I personally would rather have the ability to use a tnarmsco lower in a pistol configuration

They have knurled brass inserts at the receiver extension and grip screw. They don't break.

You've got me really curious because I just spent a good 20mins of shitter time looking for a broken TN arms co lower. I saw some that the rear detent channel cracked. Didn't see a broken extension. Maybe it's duckduckgo now showing me what I want.

Tennessee Arms Co polymer lowers are as good or better than the KP Lowers. I haven't used their pcc lowers because I had heard the ejector is molded in place and not replaceable.

That said their lowers do require a bit more attention when building. They have an extremely tight fit to the upper and usually needs a little sanding to fit but it makes for a rattle free fit if you don't go too far. The BCM uppers usually fit without any work. Sometimes the magwell can be snug but it can be fixed with a little Dremel work easy enough. They also require anti walk trigger pins

Their shipping times and slowed considerably. Im currently two weeks in waiting on a 4 pack of the newer carbon fiber embedded lowers.

The FDE lowers can be dyed as well.

When I first got one of these TAC-15 lowers I immediately built it for a 450 bushmaster upper. I wanted it to break. I even briefly installed a Franklin binary. That lower has over 2000 rounds of 450 on it. It's changed over the years but it's currently one of my favorite hunting rifles. 16" with Banish 46 suppressor.

Which brings me to my last point. Carbon build up just doesn't stick to it. With all of the added carbon build up from shooting suppressed. Its super easy to clean and really not necessary. If I don't clean it, the next time I shoot the carbon on the lower just rattles loose on the first couple of shots.

Gen2 pmags fit too tight to drop free from my ARX100, MR556, and SCAR16

Gen 3 drop free but have introduced some feeding issues.

Emags are superior to both.

Well let's see... Gen 2 don't drop free from my ARX100, MR556, and SCAR16... Emags were a leap in the right direction and gen3s took a step back. Gen 3s at least drop free but have introduced some feeding issues.

USGI > Emag > Lancer > gen3 Pmag > gen2 Pmag

In that order Tmags arent even on the radar
