AR Lowers with Naval Aviator wings

[MasterBates]

Gentlemen,

There is an outfit in Florida that makes AR Lowers with custom designs on them. Right now I have one of his "INFIDEL" lowers, and it is very nice. Forged Mil Spec, had absolutely 0 problems with assemby of my kit on it. Fit and finish is nice.

Here is an example of what it would look like:

Currently trying to get a price and leadtime. Back in July my reciever was $100 with tax, with the "INFIDEL" on it. These will be a bit more, due to a lower run.

Basically, the image is in the Anodizing. It's not a sticker or anything like that, the actual color is the Anodize. It looks good.

If anyone in the Corpus area has a digital camera I can borrow, I'll post pics of mine.

Anyways, trying to get a number of who would want one, and get the order going.

Pistol marked lowers are available as well. They just have "PISTOL" Engraved along with the serial numbers.

If you're really thinking of ordering that one, it might interest you to know that they spelled it backwards. Arabic goes from right to left . . .

To quote Mr. Sandler...

I don't care how the hadji-scratch is written. I liked how it looked and I bought it.

Okay, here is the update. I am gettig them done at FBMG in Utah. Better price and turnaround for the same item. Quality is as good or better..

Here is what you get: Naval Aviator Wings engraved on the lower, and some normal text beneath. Squadron, Aircraft, Callsign, Date winged, etc..

WINGS
C-2A

You get the idea.

The companies website is www.fbmginc.com

Cost is:
$40 setup for new artwork. I'll eat that. Buy me a beer when you see me.
$45 for the engraving per lower
$100 for a STAG arms lower. These are good, forged Mil-Spec lowers.
~$9 for shipping to your FFL

So the shipped cost each will be ~$154 to your FFL. If enough guys get in on it, the price can go down a bit. ($10-15, nothing dramatic)

What you need to do:

Decide how many you want, and what you want other than wings on it.
Post or PM me, with what you want. I will "compile" the order.
Once the order is ready to turn in, you contact FBMG and pay for your lower(s)
You will need to give FBMG the Name and Address of a local FFL dealer to complete the legalites of the transaction on their end. If they do not have EastCowpoke Gunshop on file you or your dealer will need to send them a copy of their FFL.

When the item arrives at your FFL, you pay them their Fee (can range from $10 to $50, I suggest shopping around for the best deal) and you leave with your lower.

Then you assemble it to a parts kit. BAM! AR-15.. And Sarah Brady cries.

If anyone has a really good "Line Drawing" of Naval Aviator wings, please forward it to me. Mine are OK, and should look fine, but the higher resolution we give them, the crisper the engraving is.

If only I actually had wings, 'cause I'm about to build another m4gery... Will the Stag lowers still have the deer's head on the left side? I like the infidel lower. What all designs did the company that did the infidel do? $100 is darn cheap... They didn't happen to be in Jax did they?

 

[MasterBates]

The company with the Infidel is Spikes in Apopka, FL. They have LMT lowers with their name/logo on them.

The company I am going with now is FBMG in Utah.. They have Stag lowers.

Spike is often at the gunhows in JAX.

 

[MasterBates]

I'm going to send in the order on Wednesday next week...

So if you want one, please send PM or reply by Tuesday Night..

I have 3 ones "ordered" so far..

 

[MasterBates]

After a couple months of delays due to a change in the anodizing STAG uses, I have the lowers in hand. They look good.

Will post pics when I can borrow a camera. *cough*scoober*cough*

The current price is $160 each. Prices of the lowers has gone up $20 since March.

$120 for a STAG lower, $40 for the engraving.

The artwork setup fee is already paid, so if you use FBMG, just let them know you want the Naval Aviator wings I had set up. They will add text under the wings. "Molon Labe" in Greek is now set up (that was one of the hangups, getting a Greek font that printed well)

James is the man you want to talk to at FBMG. 801-571-1160

PM me for my real name if you don't know it and don't want to get the "who??" reaction when you call and say you want "Master Bates' wing design"
