Tennessee Arms Co. They are serialized; see photo below and at the following link.

"Shooting/ Product Showcasing/Teaching/Training Aid These clear polymer lowers are fully functional AR receivers and require an FFL transfer. and.... really fun at full auto."

"We are offering Display Models to use as a product showcase for aftermarket triggers at gun shops, mantle pieces, and teaching aids for anyone interested in the shooting sports. The nature of the clear material is less predictable during molding causing slight variations/imperfections and requiring hand fitment of parts. These receivers are easily converted to safely fire live rounds, but our guarantee only covers products assembled in our facility."

^^ thanks. and yes, serialized. seller replied that they are safe/made to fire but not heavy use obviously - lol.
I wanted to build for the novelty, will probably put a couple hundred rounds life time through it so I would think it should hold up just fine.
thanks for the article noah!

Got my clear lancer magazine - has anyone ever seen clear handguard or stocks? Probably not - I'll have to find someone that can 3D print - lol. Why not go all the way clear!

Just got a set of those! (The lancers. Not the clear handguards)

It may be my imagination but I swear the round glides out of them easier than on a PMAG. And the PMAG's are pretty good.

I just got myself a recurve bow a few days ago. SO MUCH FUN! I highly recommend.

Went to pick up my neat Taurus, Stainless-snub-ported-357 magnum model 606 and my shop offered up a new Beretta 3032 threaded Tomcat 32 auto for $400 pretty much otd

Plus a Beretta $75 rebate. I have a black 3032 non threaded but always thought having one with a can would be a hoot

Then FedEx dropped off some nice CMP 30 carbine bandoliers at the house.
All in all, a good day!
I've got some new wood grips on the way from my old friend in Thailand - he does nice work and I've always been happy with his grips!

I finally got my Henry back from the gunsmith and I also picked up a SA Prodigy on Sunday. The cerakote isn't exactly how I imagined it, but it's not too bad. I need to pick up some optics too.

I have a feeling they will discolor quickly once fired. Most clear mags seem to end up "rich with smoky flavor" after a couple uses.
