Quentin Defense US Military Edition billet lowers

AR/M4 AR General Discussion

Has anyone tried one of the new Quentin Defense military edition billet lowers? They have four editions: US Army, USMC, USN and US Air Force. I just ordered the US Army edition.

BTW, I am in no way affiliated with Quentin Defense, except as a customer, even though my screen name is Quentin (my middle name).
Here are links and pictures of all four:

And while searching for previous threads I found this one that goes into detail on QD billet receivers:

I like that. I may have to pick up an Air Force one to do a remembrance build in memory of my grandfather

No U.S. Coast Guard?

4

They made it. But it was much smaller and everyone forgot about it.

Kidding. :wink:

5

Ha! Sounds about right actually…

According to Jason, the USCG lower comes out next week.

ta da. :smiley:

Let us know what you think when it comes in.

Thanks for the info, looks nice!

Glad to hear there soon will be a USCG edition too. Thanks for that info The War Wagon!

I’m trying to think what I would do with a usmc lower. I would have to treat it like shit, put the least amount of money in it yet still expect it to perform better than anything else, and I’d have to make sure some higher ranking lower didn’t steal my lower to make it police call.

The price is right. Maybe ill start an SPR build.

11

Kinda cool, who’s dealing them?

12

Those look pretty nice. I’ve got a few USAF family members that might like rifles for Christmas…

I just don’t know if I’m capable of giving them away after I build them. :o

13

What is the Coast Guard?

14

If I remember right, I think they fall under Sea World…

j/k

Anyways… I wouldn’t mind building something with one of the Army lowers though. I kinda wish they were a standard forged lower for possibly a M16A4 or M4 clone build. It would be something cool to have for when I finally decide to get out of the Army (10 years this July).

I ordered directly from QD. Not sure if anyone else is carrying them but don’t think many have been made so you’d likely have to deal directly with QD.

The status on Monday was my order is on hold as they’re waiting on a batch of lowers to come back from anodizing. I may order their stripped billet upper to match but first want to see how my Daniel Defense upper looks on it.

It was the Coast Guard that landed our troops on the beaches during WWII, something I didn’t find out until recently- http://www.uscg.mil/history/articles/CGPacWar.pdf

My service was with the USAF and my sons have followed my footsteps. I like the new USAF logo, kinda cool

17

the price is not bad for the design of the lower. Gonna show this to some of my USMC buddies. USMC logo looks kinda weird without the latitude lines on the globe. Should be able to etch those in if the US Army and Navy logos have the stripes.

Need to have all the special forces logos for each branch too: Delta, Rangers, Force Recon, SEALs, AFSOC

My dad had a buddy who signed up for USCG in Vietnam era because he thought he’d be safely along the shores of the US. They sent him to run around rivers in Vietnam.

19

Don’t they call that poetic justice?

20

As a person that signed up during a non-draft time period I can see thinking that’s shameful. However, even if you do something like that but serve honorably and follow all orders passed to you then I can hold nothing against you.

And you deserve the right to buy one of these lowers.

Heh…See the tie in here?
