Bolt together lower

It may be uglier than any highpoint can imagine. But if it works, and it pretty easy to make, go for it!

This kick-ass free-to-use pattern (.pdf) for making your own screw-together AR-15 lower receiver from sheets of aluminum of varying thickness has been making the rounds again what with the recent passage of anti 3D-printed gun laws. The original website is sadly gone.

All you need to do is cut them out and screw them all together, then drill and tap a couple of holes. Guess which one can be shot more?

Might have some problems with some aftermarket mags, though. Might want to consider trimming that magwell a bit should you try this yourself.

Cool but requires some type of fabricator/ maker skill
And material and tooling costs.

Buy a lower 100.00

But not something I will do anytime soon.

I thought about trying to make one in this cold time of year. Most of my hobbies are cut short till it warms back up. But the skeleton looks pretty cool none the less, could serve as a paper weight on my toolbox on a windy day haha.

I could do that easily. It would have to be a "want to"type of project though. Just to save $60 for a cheap lower.
