Back in the day guns were all made of steel and that is just the way it was! Until of course Glock pistols came along and the age of polymer firearms exploded. At first people didn't take to kindly to "plastic" guns but once the word got out of how tough and reliable they were things changed. The AR-15 rifle was a pioneer firearm for using plastic parts mixed with steel and aluminum. The main part of an AR-15 which is the only part considered a "firearm" is the lower receiver. The image above is a stripped lower receiver but unlike all other AR-15 lowers this one is made of a polymer. American Tactical Imports offers a stripped polymer lower receiver for only $39.95. Not a bad deal for a lower, there are sure to be some speculators who don't fully approve of a "plastic" lower receiver, for probably the same reasons polymer pistols were accepted slowly in the gun community. I haven't tried one of these out yet but I feel that enough testing has gone into them that they will be common in the future.
Ar-15 is mainly divided into two parts. The lower receiver is mainly made up of mainly of 3
