Hello All,

New to the forum, not to shooting! From the SF Bay Area.

I've built numerous AR15's and now investgating building up an AR10 style gun.
My local gun shop has a 308 lower made by a company named
Tactical Machining. Seems well made, very nice finish, overall looks great.

Has anyone ever heard of them? Seems they've
been around since 2008, based out of Florida.

Just wondering if anyone knows of their stuff...

Looking forward to building an AR on steroids...

I had one of their stripped lowers. They seem made very well. In essence, they are a very good brand to go with in building your AR-308. I wouldn't hesitate using it. Compared to my POF lower, the quality and feel are the same.

Also, my brother's AR-15 has a tactical machining lower and it seems really well built too. I believe all their lowers are good to go.

They are also very well known company on other forums as well such as Calguns.net, that is where I prowl most of the time.

I used the TM stripped lower to build my 308 DPMS clone with, and its been fantastic. It fits well with the DPMS upper and DPMS 308 lower parts kit. Go for it, you wont be dissapointed.

Heres a link to my assembly thread.

I picked up two 80% TM-10 lowers and 3 80% AR-15 lowers. All 5 were good, solid lowers. The TM-10 lowers are billet (not forged) as many of the 308 AR lowers we see. They are good looking too boot. Have no worries with TM.
