Franklin Armory Lower Alexander Arms Upper?? - badshooter - 04-04-2012
Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience with the quality of matching a Franklin Armory lower with the Alexander Arms upper? Thanks for any feedback.

Welcome. I'm not familiar with Franklin Armory, but after looking their site over, it looks like they have a standard forged lower with a tensioning screw. It should fit just fine with any standard upper on the market, and the screw will allow you to tighten up the receivers if necessary.

Thanks LRRP I was wondering how good those tensioning screws are as I'm mainly a bolt action rifle shooter but am looking to get an AR type 6.5. Thanks for the info and thanks for your service. Now it's time to start building one!

I like the feel of a tight-fitting gun, where it is all one solid piece. The tensioning screw can help with that. What barrel length are you looking at?
