Seized 80% AR lowers returned by ATF, for sale

The BATF returned ~6000 polymer 80% AR lowers seized in 2014 from his former business, and returned after a lawsuit. Dimitrios Karras is selling them for $75 each (no shipments to CA, NY, NJ) as of today--they are available in 5 colors.

I have never seen a poly lower before. What would be the advantage over aluminum? I can buy finished seralized Anderson lowers locally for less money.

After milling out an 80 poly lower, you don't need to re anodize it. The main plus I see from ding your own 80% lower is if you're doing a form 1 SBR and want only one set of manufacturer info and serial number on there

I had one of those pink ones.

I strongly suggest not using their pre-marked hammer/trigger pin locators and use a jig.
I don't care what your chart says

Anderson’s are $50 completely milled. That being said, I think I’ll get a plastic one, just to put on the mantle. F**k the ATF.
The moments I was censored was the moment that I won. That's twice, now.Thanks jwbaker, et al, for my victories.

I've bought an anderson that is out of spec. I wouldn't use them as the pricing standard.
