[QUOTE="MCVetSteve, post: 3087761, member: 33591"] A plinker for a child, (8 yr old girl) the oldest my wife and I have in our house is where I was going with this question. I have a Ruger AR-556 and the only problem she has with it is the weight. The adjustable stock brings the LOP down to her size just fine. So I was considering a faxon 14.5” pinned and welded pencil barrel, and thought “while I’m looking for lightweight parts I may as well see where else weight can be saved that’s still within my means.” Then I remembered the polymer lowers, still not sure about an upper out of polymer, and figured I’d ask. So OSA, what say you? Is a polymer lower AR durable enough to teach a child fundamentals of marksmanship/how to defend herself with a rifle? I’ve heard/read that TN Arms uses marine grade brass for their buffer tube thread insert. [/QUOTE]
