AR Billet Receivers vs Forged Receivers . . .



Everyone says Forged is stronger . . . Maybe, maybe not  . . .

But what does that mean to you . . . Nothing. Both will work for you. For me I like the look of crisp lines on a billet lower and the precision of a matched set. WITAC has built ours to our specifications and they are tight . . . No clinking sound when you shake it . . . No one will here you coming.

The truth is in the beholder . . . You need to know what you’re looking for in an AR? Do you want an AR that is functional or do you want a light weight precision beauty?

A forged lower may be great for you . . . But a good billet build is superior because of the tolerances adhered to. Typically billet builders are more concerned with building the best firearm and that starts with a precise base, the upper and lower receiver. A matched upper and lower set is had when you go to your dealer and test the fit of your upper and lower before you buy. . . When we sell a matched set, we’ve already tested the fit.

And then you add barrels, bolt carrier groups, triggers, buffer tubes, buffer springs, buffers, flash hiders, gas blocks, sights, etc.  to your build . . . And each piece will determine the precision of your firearm.

The AR platform was designed as an A2 style rifle . . . That means a plastic stock, plastic triangle handguard, carry handle . . . Vietnam comes to mind . . . Soldiers tested to make sure they could shoot accurately at 100 to 400 yards on iron sights . . . And that platform has evolved to where it is today. Still the cheapest platform and then it goes up from there.
