What advantage would it have over aluminum?

Surely there are reviews online. Windham is owned by the guy that grew Bushmaster and sold it. I imagine his receivers are as good as they can be. I’ve always thought that you could make a lower out of about anything.

There’s been a few polymer and/or carbon fiber lowers out there.
Personally, the slight weight difference in an aluminum lower is well worth it for proven durability. On the polymer/carbon fiber ones, there have been instances of some cracking.

I had experience with one from Bushmaster, which I think was made back in the old days of Bushmaster.
No problems with the receiver, but in a quest for overall lightness the receiver was paired with a thin “pencil” barrel, which did not maintain accuracy as it heated up.
Don’t have it any longer.

Wow, the depth of logic that permeates this thread is ...nauseating.

FWIW- I think Bushmaster made the Carbon-15 lightweight AR. There's one for sale here locally I was looking at, for a friend of course. But a quick search brought up cases of them having cracking issues and s'posedly BM started making them from a different material. Nothing validated, just what I saw.
This and $1 will get you coffee @ Hardee's. d;^)
