I don't see $10 as a major gripe for converting calibers on something designed for .223/5.56x45. I can certainly see where a consumer would prefer the option of purchasing a 22lr-ready lower.... But for $10... in this business.. that probably doesn't cover their internal cost for production, warehousing and shipping. Seems very reasonable.v-rog wrote:Oh, they know about the problem...and they are charging to fix it...makes perfect sense.OldCannon wrote:Right. New Frontier points this out on their website and offers a new hammer group for 22lr uppers for about $10.v-rog wrote:The one problem I ran into was with the polymer fire control group/polymer hammer. It didn't strike hard enough for the 22 rounds to consistently go off and I had dozens of light strikes with 5 different types of ammo and two different types of magazines. I'd have to reload the light-strike ammo and reshoot it for it to properly fire. I've since installed a ALG Defence trigger group and I will be testing it very soon.

Re: Is New Frontier a good lower receiver??
I still like mine.
Admittedly it's got less than 100 round through it, but, feels pretty solid.
For what you'll pay today, you can sell it for not much less if you decide to move on to aluminum when the market calms down. Small risk.
