New Affordable lightweight AR lower

I don't know many places that forge plastic.
Now that is a trend that I could get behind. My only real objection in the past has been that ounce for ounce, forged is stronger than billet and the machined billet lowers were too expensive. Shaving weight while not giving up the strength of forging is a great idea.
Vorn USA's $99 forged light weight lower.
Nothing really amazing about it other than the fact that it is so much cheaper than the light weight aluminum options that currently exist.
With that being said, the design cues on that lower aren't really my style. But it does look relatively good. The only real concern would be wanting to know if they put as much energy into the critical specs, as they did the design.
Looks like they took a standard forging and machined it. Wonder where they sourced the lowers?

Wow, not much difference at all. I suppose that really just equates to aesthetics at that point. But for $99, still not a bad deal if you like the look.
There have been a few Anderson's with issues. One that wasn't drilled for the bolt catch pin comes to mind. But they're still the best deal around. I'm just saying that if someone likes the machined look of billet, this is a nice & less expensive option, especially in the "lightweight" category.

I picked up 3 for that price at Black Friday. Just built out the aero I won in the giveaway
I thought the Mag Tactical was under 6 ounces. They were for sale last year for under $60 at Knob Creek.
