I have 2 of the following Essentai Arms J-15-F stripped lower receivers for sale. They are brand new, never built on. $169 ea + $10 shipping. If you buy both, I will combine shipping at $10. Please post here. PA residents add 6% sales tax. Must ship to FFL.





Thanks for looking.

If these are the pre-94 receivers (I hear they are under production again) then I'll take them both.

Hey K, just did a lookup and these look like post-ban brand new production, so I'll pass. Price is right, but I don't need any more post-94s in NY! Tkx.

Still up for grabs!

I'm at a loss....
What makes a currently manufactured receiver "pre ban", discounting any new bans coming down the pike?

Here's a quick picture of the inside of the lower.

NY, CT and probably some other places base restrictions on the 94 ban date.

Are these RDIAS/RLL compatible?

I hope you don't consider this trolling, but how do these compare to CMMG or RRA in quality?

thanks

I do not know if they are RDIAS compatible, but by the looks of the inside, they are very similar to a pre-ban Colt. As far as quality, I have built on 2 or 3 with excellent results. Some of the detent holes are sometimes a little gritty and need to be cleaned out a bit. Also, the bolt hold-open paddle is sometimes a little tight and needs a little extra clearance to move freely. Opening the roll pin hole a bit seems to be the best way. Very minor tweeks.
