I was at the Centralia FunShow helping a new shooter pick out their first gat when I walked past a table from Starlos Firearms LLC showing and selling some of their wares.
What grabbed my attention most was their very stout looking E3 Arms OMEGA-15 polymer AR lower.
While I was standing at his table and handling the actual lower, I spoke with the owner, J. Carlos Rodriguez, for a few minutes about his product and he told me about how he came to this particular design. This isn’t his first time around the track with poly AR lowers and you can tell when you get this part in your hands.
No flex. Anywhere. All the radii are clean and well designed for long wear. And that’s just the exterior. the interior is clean as a whistle and likewise, well beefed up.
I have been looking for a quality poly lower to build a 22LR practice/training rifle out of for some time now. Which is the other nice thing about these lowers, at the show they were only $49.
At that price, once I’m working again, I may build a pair of training rifles using these: one in 22LR and another in 5.56.
