Gauging Interest In New Product

[yournamehere]

Anyone know the correct procedure for installing the bolt catch screw and take down detent screw? Is there a torque spec, and or use loctite?

 

[DrSeuss]

I "removed" the take down screw. No clue why it's even there. I just put it in the baggie and used a normal pin and spring. I just bottomed out the bolt catch. I didn't torque it very hard since the allen key is so tiny. Pretty sure I don't have any long bits that would even fit my torque wrench!

So who will be the first to post a pic of their new lower?

To capture the takedown detent and not mess with compressing the spring while tightening the receiver extension and endplate.

Went rifle, think I'll move to a smaller sight at some point...just what I had lying around.

Oh, I like that. A lot.

Here's mine so far. Still need to get my bolt assembly and waiting on my stamp to put a stock on it.

That's awesome! Got me rethinking my planning. I bought a Glock lower and have many thoughts swirling around my head. Should it be a pistol, in the hopes that Engage's lawsuit wins the day and < 29" SBR becomes a possibility? Should I just go ahead and SBR it at a 10" barrel or thereabouts? Or do I build a rifle with the compact-size solid buttstock kit I have on hand? Decisions, decisions...

What I really want to do is have a QC10 side-charging upper if that ever moves out of unobtanium status, so this may stay as a stripped lower for the time being...

Excellent find, thanks! Just what the Doctor suggested!

They are all very sexy. I need to add one to my safe.

Other manufacturers are Gibbz, New Frontier Armory, X Products, Spartan, WMA, and ASA are some more side AR15 side charging options. Not sure if they would work with 9mm.

And half of those are copies/private label versions of each other.
