"Made in Texas" AR-15 lowers

[Bithabus]

Even though some of these are technically made in other States, or travel out of State for finishing, it's cool to have a rifle that says it's made in TX. Here's the list of lowers I know about:

Larue
Dreadnaught Industries
High Standard
Kenco Arms
SOG
Legion
Lone Star Armory
Scorpion Tactical
Stillers Precision

What else is there?

I hear good things about Legion Firearms in Temple, TX. Not sure if they make lowers or just full weapons. Their pricing sucks IMO. For that much money I'd rather get a LaRue(or Noveske- but they're not Texan)

SOG out of Houston TX.

What is the last one?

Legion ... they are in Temple.

SOG Armory are good folks to deal with. I don't have any of their rifles, but I've visited their booths at gun shows and been to the store once, bought some stuff from them here and there. Their staff has always been friendly and good to deal with.

Thanks, added to the list.

I have a charging handle from SOG with an extended pull latch on it. The pin keeps wanting to come free of the latch. Irritating, but for the price, a great product.

Holy moly... The legion lower is $419.... I thought my LaRue was expensive..

The Legion lower looks like it's a billet lower. Forged should be cheaper.

I don't understand why we don't see cast lowers. **** it, it's just the lower.

The Larue is billet and it's $300.

 

[T-FAST]

My LaRue lower was $250...

 

[Bithabus]

300 after shipping and transfer.

Lonestar Armory in the DFW area makes their own lowers, or at least they used to... new web page blows...

Lone Star Armory

Dreadnaught Industries sells a billet upper AND lower set for $300. But I have it on good authority that the owner does NOT drive a HUMVEE, nor does he own a helicopter

There is another that is just getting started; Scorpion Tactical in Leander Texas. Currently they only have a few configurations but will build what every you like. They are planning on a line of accessories as well such as rails and handguards. They are machining the lowers in house but for now all the other components are sourced from the manufacturers. They also offer sequential S/N or Special S/N if you prefer. Laser Engraving is coming soon as well. If you have any questions give me a call. Here are a few pics of the Scorpion Tactical L2 Rifle configured with MAGPUL MOE Furniture.

I think a cast receiver would probably require more finishing work. It wouldn't really save any money, just move the cost from the initial tooling setup to the final stages of production. What I'd like to see is more polymer lowers. Magpul needs to get on that
