Any distributors or wholesalers sell 80% lowers?

[matt2491]

I just got an FFL for my small machine shop and am looking for a supplier or distributor to buy raw 80% lowers from. I want to finish them to 100%, engrave them with my shop name, and actually make certain 'enhancements' to them for resale. I think the traditional forged lower has room for subtle improvements. Yes, I know I won't be able to sell them to folks in MA unfortunately... so the plan is to market and sell them online.

Anybody have any leads on bulk 80% forged lowers?

Quinten defense sells 10 packs, maybe call them up & ask about a 100 pack?
Theirs are billet though.

I don't know if these people would be able to accommodate you. http://www.80percentarms.com/

Does it make sense to buy 80% when you can just machine your own from aluminum blanks?

Given the fairly low price of the "80%" lowers (even at single piece retail), it's probably cheaper to buy when you consider material, labor, and shop time.
