Smoking Deal!! Americana Arms Billet AR15 Lowers – Just $170

Posted on April 18th, 2013 by ar15news

The other day I was pleasantly surprised when I was contacted by a nice lady named Tammy who was representing a small gun shop in Beeville, TX called Americana Arms, LLC.  She said that some of their customers mentioned we (AR15NEWS.com) might be interested in knowing about their new billet AR15 lowers and wanted to know how to get the word out.  I don’t just post everything that comes my way so I asked a few questions and my jaw dropped when she told me that they were only $169.99.  I actually checked again to verify that this price was correct and it is.  These things are extremely nice looking and have features you would expect to see on lowers costing double this price.  They have 60 units in-stock right now, another 100 will be in 4 weeks from now and another 100 every 4-5 weeks after that.  Check out the pics and details below.  

DETAILS

-   6061 Aluminum, Type III anodized
-   Integrated Winter Trigger Guard
-   Tensioning Screw 
-   Lower requires no roll pins.  Bolt Catch/Release is held in place by a threaded pin.
-   Flared Magwell
-   Price:  $169.99

You can order an Americana Arms billet AR15 lower or request additional information by emailing Tammy at Orders@AmericanaArms.com.  Americana Arms is a smaller “mom and pop” style shop specializing in good ol’ fashion customer service.  If you need to call them you can do so at (361) 362-3573 from 5pm – 8pm Central Time during the week.  

Americana Arms is having some site maintenance done right now.  I would suggest liking the Americana Arms Facebook page for future notifications as they will have billet .308 lowers and billet uppers in-stock soon too.

**UPDATE**  As of 12pm EST on 4/18/2013 all 60 “in-stock” units have sold out.  There will be an additional 100 units in 4 weeks so still email Tammy to lock one in.

**IN-STOCK** CMT Tactical Billet Lower – $220

Posted on April 11th, 2013 by ar15news

As you’re all well aware, the cost of AR15 parts have grown wildly lately.  Some items more than doubling in cost.  Every once in a while though we’re blessed with a look into the past when companies such as PSA, AIM, Rainier Arms, etc. are able to get us some parts at the pre-panic pricing.  This is one such deal.  AIM Surplus has some CMT Tactical Billet AR15 Lower Receivers in-stock right now for just $219.95 a piece.  They do have a limit of 1 per person which I like so you don’t get guys buying 10 to flip on Gun Broker, etc.  I really think this is a great looking lower.  It features an integrated winter trigger guard, some cool looking grip serrations that wrap around the front of the magwell and the bolt catch/release lever is held in place with a screw instead of a roll pin.  If you are interested in picking up a billet lower, you should definitely check these out as they may be the least expensive billet lower you see for a while.  Purchase yours at AIMSurplus.com

**IN-STOCK** SLR Rifleworks Stripped Lowers

Posted on April 2nd, 2013 by ar15news

A while back I had the opportunity to shoot some photos of the SLR Rifleworks Intrepid Handguard which is a really awesome handguard.  I haven’t had much of a chance to post about their stuff lately but I do know they make some high quality parts that’s for sure.  I just saw on Facebook that they have some of their forged SLR-15 lowers in-stock.  I’m not sure why but I’ve always really liked the looks of the SLR-15 lower.  I think it has something to do with the SLR roll mark on the magwell (kind of reminds me of text you’d see on a sports car or something) and the fact that they machine them right there in house instead of farming them out.  Anyways, these are in-stock and ready to ship so get on them now.  Just $149 at SLRRifleworks.com  Don’t forget to check out SLR Rifleworks on Facebook too.

Simplistic Shooting Solutions Billet 80% Lower – On Sale

Posted on April 1st, 2013 by ar15news

Weapon Outfitters has just a few (6) of these Billet 80% Lowers from Simplistic Shooting Solutions.  Their are two reasons this caught my eye.  The first being that these typically retail for $250 and WO has them on sale for just $185 each.  The second thing that caught my eye is that if you look closely they have marked where you need to drill the Hammer Pin, Trigger Pin and Safety holes.  This is a big help if you don’t have a jig to place the lower in for drilling.  The cool part about an 80% lower is that because there is no machined Fire Control Group its just a big paperweight requiring no serial number and no FFL Transfer.  You machine the rest yourself and have a completely unregistered AR15 lower.  Check these out for yourself at WeaponOutfitters.com.
