Finishing a Polymer80 AR-15 Lower Receiver

We get a lot of requests from readers to talk about the Polymer80 polymer lowers, so we recently had Jeremy Bedsaul of TacFix take a look at one for us. Aluminum has always been the no-brainer choice for my builds…and nothing here has changed that perspective, but it was interesting to see Jeremy go hands-on with one.

With Magpul celebrating it’s 20th anniversary in 2019, we were excited to visit the Magpul booth and take a look at what was new.

In the final part of our conversation with Chris Costa, we asked him his opinion of 300 Blackout.

Chris also talks about 300 Blackout vs. 5.56…and why distance in a gunfight matters.
