Franklin Armory?
I would like to know if anyone has any input on Franklin Armory. I am looking to buy a lower and this company is located near me here in CA but other than that I have no knowledge of them.

It just does not seem right to use California an AR in the same sentence or paragraph for that matter.

LMAO
Here is a review I found over one of their products. It did have accuracy problems, but it looked like it was due to it's special (cross between a SBR and a pistol) design. Reliability was great.

No problem. I'm still really new to ARs, but it looks like they make a quality gun. That gun in the review is really odd though.

I'm seeing a lot of those guns in the stores around here. While I personally wouldn't want one I understand the reasoning behind building them which is to skirt the law. Its the old "Improvise, adapt and overcome" tactics. I'm all for that, but I can't afford to indulge in it myself, especially for a gun that doesn't shoot very well.
I am looking for a stripped lower with the LPK as I have pretty much all of the rest of the parts I need. http://www.franklinarmory.com/PRODUCTS_Stripped-Lower.html
Another interesting and new product that Franklin Armory is making is this one (introduced at the 2012 SHOT Show) http://www.franklinarmory.com/PRODUCTS_CSW.html
This CSW is another "IAO" (Improvise, adapt and overcome) product. I hope they are successful in their efforts.
