Sharps Bros @ TFB:
Sharps Bros posted the following on their social media pages about the development of the Showdown lower receiver:
This one has been a long time in the making. It started back in 2019 with @jsharps and @wdigeorge ( @battlearms) collaborating on the design… It’s patent issued back in 2020. Corona, other projects, etc kept it in the dark till now. It’s complexity also required an evolution of our manufacturing and programming team to bring it to life. It’s here now though, it’s shipping and we’re excited to see what you do with them!
Below are the tech specs of the Sharps Bros Showdown lower receiver as seen on the company’s website:
- Threaded bolt catch pin
- An oversized integral trigger guard
- A beveled magazine flare that helps you load as quickly and efficiently as possible
- Machined top to bottom from 7075-T6 aluminum, a peak-strength corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy
- A hard coat anodize finish per MIL-A-8625, the anodizing model for model for most military and aerospace products
- Full compatibility with all mil-spec internal parts
- Full compatibility with all other aftermarket mil-spec upper receivers
- Full compatibility with PMags, Hex mags and other standard capacity magazines
- Multi caliber mark
- Weight: 10.7 oz

While I think these are tacky and wouldn't want one, what's the harm? Most rifles are range toys anyway and if something like this attracts new folks into the sport, it can only help in the long run.
The gun Karen's are out today lol. I'm storming off this range if someone brings one of these! Where's that RSO, I'm going to demand they remove this shooter because if he likes something I don't like, he's dangerous!! LOL.
I'm not buying one of these, it's not my thing but if it entices someone to add a first or 50th AR to their collection then that's a good thing. Kind of looking forward to seeing someone build a full samurai themed AR.
