Transparent AR lowers... available tomrrow.

I won't be buying one.

Come on who's ordered one already?

Clear plastic is very brittle compared to colored plastics. I can see lots of issues with the lowers breaking. Certain oils and cleaners will cause the clear to crack. I would stay away.

While the transparency one is pretty neat, unsure if a full build would look all that good and I'd hate to see how one looked after heavy use and having had products sprayed inside and gunk built up... But still pretty neat anyhow!

I don't think it would look that good for long. Maybe for a safe queen, or just to have one.

Non-reinforced clear nylon?
Durability will be horrible.
Don't drop it or your precious AR will shatter.
I will pass.

I see no point to this other than to say you've got one.

Guys, it's not meant to be used as a standard lower/user gun. ThrottleTony got it right:

^^ this.
looks cool, but after 1000 rounds it would only look "cool" to those of us that appreciate a firearm as a tool

I personally like the idea, and it makes for a cool show piece. It'd be easier to explain how the trigger functions w/ a gun like this

It is meant as a training tool. On their site it says "This lower is made as a training tool and product showcase model that is usable but is not designed for the rugged use that our fiber-reinforced Nylon models are. We designed this model to showcase trigger and internal function for teaching and industry usage............This receiver is only intended as a teaching tool and for product showcase."

I think it looks cool, and maybe someday they will be able to make one that is just as tough and durable as other polymer lowers.

Sure thing.
Can't wait to see one after someone pulls the trigger to try it out during training and lets the hammer strike the wall.
One thing for sure, you will find out where all the stress fractures on an AR will start.

It's like the clear phone and tv in my attic. I'll get it, hate it and then I can't give away. Happy he will make his million on his "kernoodle valve"
