Anyone have experience with them? Local gun shop has polymer lowers on sale relatively cheap. Says he built one up and the fit was as good as an aluminum lower and the rifle has performed flawlessly so far.

polymer ARs
If your goal is a cheap lower, there are plenty of aluminum lowers that are priced as cheap or cheaper than polymer lowers.
Anderson lowers are regularly under $40 and I’ve seen them at $30 from time to time.
I think Aim Surplus has Aero Precision lowers at $60 right now.

So 4oz. Lighter. Not worth it in my opinion, unless you are (like I said earlier) trying to build a crazy light gun where you don’t care about longevity.
I built an ultralight on a 2A Armament Balios set and love it. Stripped weight on it is 6.5oz. So right between the two.

non aluminum lower
i have to disagree... and BTW until i bought this one , i would have agreed. but now this is my go to rifle PERIOD! now this is not just a polymer lower , its a nylon reinforced polymer complete system including grip and stock. it weighs nothing , it's 100% tight with no rattling or movement whatsoever. the buffer tube inside is uber quiet and smooth. and the whole gun minus the scope is just over 5 lbs. I had an ultra light barrel made by delta company arms in 300 blk . and its shoots phenomenal the upper is an innovative arms W.A.R receiver , and i can turn the gas off at a turn of a button , run full gas , or suppressed. i run an SAS arbiter titanium can on it and it balances great. I put a flat trigger in it that breaks at 2lbs. the original it came with was ok , but the gun is so light it needed more refinement, it dropped right in. any of my friends who have seen it say... *** ??? then they pick it up, say *** again... then they shoot it ... and then they want one. it's like my remington titanium 260. they just think it's fake at first. now i've seen just polymer lowers and i'm not a fan of those as they still mate to aluminum parts ... but this lower is just one piece rigid pure amazing IMHO. i love this Gwacs armory lower . I run a trijicon reap-ir on it at night and shoot lehigh control chaos copper bullets... pigs don't stand a chance! and you can carry it all night without needing a gym membership ...

As shown above, 4oz ain’t gonna make that much of a difference.

GWAC/cav arms lowers are legit. They are built totally different than all the other poly flowers, as in they aren't total garbage lol
