Here's some pics of our new NDS-601 lower receiver.
They will have a "C" serial number prefix.





Prices will be;

qty one: $180 shipped
2-5: $175 shipped
6-20: $170 shipped

As this is the same pricing structure as the NDS-XM16E1 receivers, you can combine them for the quantity discounts.

They are not ready for sale. DO NOT send in orders yet.

Holy CRAP those look awesome!! And whats even better is that my 601 upper will be on the way next week

Very good idea going with ".223" instead of "5.56MM" on this one. Woulda been even cooler if it CAL. .223 was on top followed by MODEL NDS-601 and SERIAL C000001, but still this is awesome. Any possibility of those changes being made on later runs or can you not change how your lowers are marked except the caliber, model, and serial number now?

Also, two questions:

1. How much would it be for 1 NDS16A1, 1 NDSXM16E1, and 1 NDS601 lower? Would there be a quantity discount or would it be $160 for the '16A1 and $175 each for the other two?

2. Will these have the little indentation on the right-side pivot pin lug like the originals? I can provide a pic if needed.

Keep up the good work, Mike!

I knew some of you guys were anal, but....

Is this indentation not visible in his first picture?

Very Nice Indeed!!

I will be ordering one or two....

Any chance of sourcing a repro front push pin?

Mike posted in an earlier thread that the qty discount does NOT cross model lines, you would need to purchase multiple units of the same model to qualify for any discount.

LOL hey, like I said, it's awesome and that sure as heck isnt gonna stop me from buying one. I only asked because I'm considering having the Colt/Armalite markings engraved above your markings if I can get it done.

And I thought it was there but I wasnt sure so I thought I'd ask.

That is just freaking awesome!! Just the one I have been waiting for all along.

Do you have any idea of when we will be able to start ordering? I want a "in the white" lower if that makes any differnce.

Mike, you have done the Retro crowd wonders, my hat is off to you sir!

The countersink is on the right-front pin boss, you just can't see it real well in the first pic.

The markings will stay as they are.

I will start blending them after I get some more XM's done.

Of course, I will post when the "in the white" NDS-601"s are available for sale.

Thanks for the positive comments.


ETA: We are looking at making up some pins, but I think we will do the detent ball differently. Don't panic, They will look the same on the outside when installed.

YES! The receivers look fantastic and knowing that the pivot pins will be available is great news too. Thank you!
