Are polymer ar lowers a meme?

Your taxes continue to financially support that blue. If you were to financially support a terrorist organization, would that be much different?
No help for you, al Queso.

Wow nice vpn man
I really can't stand the state of PrepHole anymore. It's just vpn gays shitting up the entire place with garbage. have a nice day.
There is absolutely no stress put on a lower receiver besides the threads for the buffer tube. None.
A polymer lower will hold up just as well as any other lower besides that fact.
Some companies make polymer lowers with threaded brass inserts for the buffer tube threads which eliminate the issue of the buffer tube shearing off. I believe Tennessee arms is one of those companies but there may be others.
All in all a polymer 80 lower will hold up just fine for fighting legally fighting an invasion by the UN or China until you can get your hands on a real lower, but don't use it too much or the buffer tube threads are going to shear off and you'll have a lower that doesn't work anymore (although there are workarounds to that such as using a .22 bolt that doesn't need a buffer tube, or maybe putting a layer of JB weld in the threads and all around the area where the buffer tube and lower meet to take pressure off the threads)

I think generally polymer can have fitment issues but its probably better than getting an aluminum one and trying to mill it out with a drill press

yeah
they're perfectly fine. most people don't like thems simply because you really don't save much money or weight
Poly lowers work like others have said but not really saving any work or money over a aluminum 80%
That is not true at all
A polymer 80 lower is 10x quicker and easier to drill and mill than an aluminum one.
You can also get away with using bottom of the barrel cheap tools and drill bits that would snap if you tried to mill aluminum with them.
So in the end you save a few hundred on tools, alot of time in drilling and milling, and end up with a nicer result due to the ease of you're inexperienced.
No. Its literally the same motions. If you have the tools to do polymer you have the capabilty to do aluminum. Unless you are trying to carve out the pocket with a heated spoon. Its also way easier to frick up and compromise structual integrity on a polymer80. Frickups like accidentally drilling too far ir removing slightly too much will still make a functional but ugly aluminum 80. You have to toss that polymer p80 out.
I have built several of both and first if you are using a dremel and a hand drill you will make an utter shit product the decent way is to use a multi speed router for the "mill" work and a drill press for the holes for poly or aluminium the poly is actually less forgiving because it can melt if going to fast on your cuts and will become grabby on the bit. Router and drill press is the only way to not make a shit one. Now a 80% glock kit is another story you can do that with a razor knife.
Might as well print one.
I print lowers. It's like building a polymer 80, but considerably easier, and also distinctly worse.
only dumb homosexuals build standard AR lowers in polymer.
the receiver extension threading will never be up to snuff in a polymer lower, even with a metal insert.
If it's going to be a dedicated .22LR, it's a different story.
I wouldn't suggest a plastic lower for anything other than practicing making cuts.
Plastic lowers fall about after repeated use.
>T. fixed a market polymer lower with 2 part epoxy.
