Looking for a RDIAS or registered receiver if anyone has a lead. Thank you.

Yes and yes. Not coming down anytime soon.
What would be an alternative suggestion? I'm open. I checked that...out of control.
I'm open to a RR as well. Figured RDIAS would save some but maybe not. Shortage of lowers no problem.

Get a bumpfire stock. It's just as much fun. I've owned both (RR AR15 machinegun and SSAR stock), and frankly, I'd rather have the money saved to spend on other things.
The other $19,651 you'd save over a RDIAS buys a LOT of ammo. Or it buys a lot of ammo AND a STEN, MAC, Uzi, Sterling, MK760, Norrell 10/22, American 180, AC556, FNC, M2 carbine, M1919 or various other machineguns that are still in the sub-$15K range
Guys, While the Bumpfire stocks do work nicely, IMHO its not a substituted for the real thing. If all you do is blast ammo down range without really aiming, then yeah it may work for you. However if you wish to learn to control your fast fire, then it comes up lacking.
The other thing, is that the M16 is clearly the platform of the future. All kinds of great uppers will be available for it. So yeah its a bit more money but in the end it will be worth it, I think.
I respectfully disagree.
When speaking of auto fire from infantry-type rifles like the AR platform, it has essentially only two purposes, neither of which are "controlled" in the sense of precision aiming. 1) very short periods of automatic fire to saturate an area with fire to force the opposition to maintain cover while other members move against them, or 2) in the room clearing role of a sub-machinegun.
Everyone I know who's ever shot anyone with a rifle (M16A2 or M4) was on "semi" and aiming with an optic.
AR's quickly bring the suck when people try to use them as a SAW or GPMG because they aren't designed for it. So really, they are only suited for the SMG role, and control and precision across the length of a room doesn't mean the same thing as laying down a proper beaten-zone 200-800 yards away as you would with a SAW or GPMG.
Really, I'm surprised the current AR-platform still has an "auto" function, actually. But "burst" fills that SMG role, I suppose.
Yeah I would love to get a registered M16 lower. Does not have to be Colt. Have seen them for $13-19K depending. Prefer small push pin standard as that would work with all my uppers. Not sure what would be a good brand. I have several uppers I would love to try out.
