are polymer lowers any good?

Yes, polymer 80 lowers are quite good. Our customers have loved them for quite a few reasons: They're more affordable than metal lowers and jigs. They're easier to machine and build with. They're capable of taking some real abuse, as any good AR should.

Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than standard plastic varieties, and also much more durable. Polycarbonate is ideal for strong prescriptions because it corrects vision without adding thickness, which can distort the wearer's appearance.

Washington state also recently passed legislation ( House Bill 1739) banning the sale of "undetectable firearms". That means you can't legally buy, own, and build a polymer 80% lower if you live there. You can still purchase aluminum (forged or billet) lowers.

Yes they arw good reducing agent because they have low electron affinity and too have low ionisation enthalpy(i.e tendency to lose electron). ... So when alkaline metals forms compound with any other element it give its outermost electron and reduce it . That's why they are good reducing agent.

Sergeant. On the contrary Tom, the barrels are quite good. Its funny how you will see a company that had a recall 15 years ago and say they are still bad. Ruger had more than one on their LCP and smith has had their fair share over the years as well.

Plastic PEX fittings are OK And pros don't want a callback to fix their own work on their dime. So obviously, pros trust the plastic fittings. Manufacturers trust them as well; the warranties for plastic fittings are similar if not identical to those for their metal counterparts.

PPU has at times had a better reputation for quality better than some other brands like Remington and Winchester. Of course euro stuff like Lapua, Norma and Sako (made by Norma I believe ???) are very good but if you're shooting PPU factory ammo feel confident you can reload it many times with good results.

When wet, down loses all of its insulating properties, as water conducts heat away from the body up to 25 times faster than air. Nikwax Hydrophobic Down™ is a water resistant down fill which reduces water absorption and maintains insulation, keeping you warm, dry and comfortable.

Microllam® LVL should only be used in dry (interior use) applications and should not be pressure treated. ... Also some wood species used in Microllam® LVL production may not be appropriate to absorb the chemicals used in treatment. The best choice for exterior use is our treated Parallam® Plus PSL.

Density is a key factor that differentiates HDPE from PP. Because HDPE has a lower density, it can be more rigid. Thanks to its lower density, though, PP, can be used when moulding parts with lower weight. Like HDPE, Polypropylene offers good chemical resistance.

No, the best indication of the relative warmth of down jackets is their thickness, not their fill power. If two garments are equally thick, the one with higher-fill down will contain less down to achieve approximately the same level of warmth. It will be lighter-weight and more compressible, but not necessarily warmer.

Blaster Corp Low density (flimsy) rubbers and plastics will deteriorate from long-term exposure to PB. Higher density rubbers and plastics may have some surface softening, but this will not affect its structural integrity.

Plated bullets are fine / not great... as long as you keep them under 1200 fps. But you will also find on a plated bullet, especially Rainier maybe as much as an 8 - 10 grain swing in the weight on a 180gr bullet ....and that's quite a bit.

The glued down LVP is, in our opinion, much better for stairs than the click or floating floors. ... This overlapping stair nose is not only not really nice to look at, they can actually hurt your foot when you walk on it! Doesn't look as large as a laminate flooring nosing - but believe me, sure feels like it!

For the price, you can most certainly do better, but the guns are competitively fieldable. The main problem on the lower end line of their guns is their longevity and quality control. When compared to JG, G&G, and other budget brands, LT tends to fall short a bit. But again, out of the box, the guns are OK.

The MOE is a great stock with some downsides, namely the lack of QD points and some buffer tube wobble, but if you already have one, there's no reason to get rid of it. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy MOEs, but they are a fine replacement to any stock that is below its benchmark.
