I recently bought a Plum Crazy Firearms complete lower and I was (am) unbelievably impressed. To me the combination of low weight (lighter than my Cav Arms lower), fit and price is an awesome combination. When I built my Cav Arms lower, it took me about 3 hours of fitting to get it together properly. That is not including my normal assembly time. This lower comes COMPLETE for about the same price as I sometimes pay for an empty lower. My local dealer is selling them for $149 including tax. The only gripe I have is that Pmags didn't fall free (15 minutes work with a fine file fixed that).
If someone hasn't handled one of these, they are COMPLETELY made out of polymer, just like Glocks (those Glocks will never catch on, remember...) including the fire control group. Unlike Cav Arms, they have a conventional pistol grip and an adjustable stock.

Highlighted section is what red flags it for me. If you have something break do they sell spares or is your lower now "scrap"?

The only weird thing about mine is that you can put the selector on safe with the hammer forward (actually just like one in the picture from the link!). Can't do that with a regular lower. Apart from that, it has a very decent trigger pull.
I've had it at the range. Shoots well. Absolutely NO play between lower and upper, but it does not bind, so you can still easily pull the rear locking pin.

I have one, bought it for $106 out the door a few weeks ago at a SC gun show. I havent used it yet however.

They have them in stock at the dealer i bought from for $112 shipped to your ffl.

i bought one for a dedicated .22lr (CMMG evolution upper) and love it! light, wonderful trigger pull - very crisp.
so i just bought two more PCF lowers while the price is still so good -- $112 delivered to FFL. one is for my youngest son (a future build); one is to hold on to for awhile. do you realize that if you buried a Plum Crazy lower in a proper tube, it wouldn't register on a metal detector? it wouldn't rust or corrode either. just saying ...

I bought one early this year when my local dealer started stocking them. We went in for something else and ended up taking 5 of them between all of us.

I used mine to build an ultralight KISS rifle and I got mine to 5.8 pounds with a fixed rear sight on an Armalite A3 upper.

Can parts be exchanged between a traditional AR reciever such as internals ect? I would like to order one and put on a fixed A1 length stock, and different grip.

Yes, but why would you? At that point it would be cheaper to get a regular lower. According to the manufacturer, the weight is about the same.

Mine is on order now:cool:

Ok, in reference to above, I want to know that should stuff break over time that I can replace it with standard internals. Second, in reference to the stock, I have a 20" upper in need of a lower and I have never liked the look of a collapsable stock with that length of upper. This is not so much of a weight or price thing to me, as it is a new idea to try. The upper I am placing on it is a true SP1 (lightweight), so it should be an ultralight retro.

One thing I did notice on the couple I have seen, they build them with commercial tubes. Just something to keep in mind.
