    Default Custom Paratrooper AR-15 Lower

    I am currently investigating the viability of having a custom Paratrooper themed AR-15 lower receiver made available. This would involve having custom engraving on the outside of the magazine well. Before I discuss design, I first need to find out how many people would be interested in purchasing a custom lower receiver. At this point the estimated cost would be approximately $249 for a complete lower. This may change as we get further into production discussions (up or down).

    Who's making the lower?
    Let me check, friend did this and stripped lowers ran about $110, so stripped lowers may be a better deal.

    Stripped lowers will generally be a better "deal", however, that will require further assembly to make operational. I'm looking into complete lowers since not everybody has the desire/know how to assemble a lower. The cost difference isn't huge.

    I'll be one of the guys who says "hell yeah, that's an awesome idea!" and then doesn't buy one.

    I may be broke, but I can still afford to be honest.

    I'm getting dialed in on a manufacturer so to get a good quote I need to get a design to them. What ideas do you have? My initial ideas are:


    • Novice Jump wings with "Got Silk?" engraved on the magazine well.
    • Novice Jump wings with "Nex Superne" (Death from Above in Latin) engraved on the magazine well.
    • Novice Jump wings alone engraved on the magazine well.
    • Airborne Tab above Novice Jump Wings engraved on the magazine well.
    • Maroon color fill on safe/fire markings, Serial number, etc.
    • APO flash/crest engraved on left side of magazine well.

    Odds of me buying one is slim, if the deal were good enough I would.
    Novice Jump wings with "Nex Superne"


    ....and, when a price is known, and if enough guys are interested to cover the cost, what are the odds of raffling one?
