My bad then! Wasn't trying to be a jerk, I legitimately tried making that mistake when I tried putting mine together. :P

How do you order if you dont want to use the FFL finder??? You still use it and just select anything and put in the notes that you don't want to use them and that you will either fax/email your FFL info to them or have your FFL fax/email them. Happened to me because the finder couldn't find my FFL so I just picked Wal-Mart and put in the notes that I'd get my FFL info to them later. |

A couple of questions:
1. Anyone know how long it will be until they release their billet uppers? 2. Anyone know how long it will be until they release their billet .308 lowers? Can't wait!!

Quoted:
A couple of questions: 1. Anyone know how long it will be until they release their billet uppers? 2. Anyone know how long it will be until they release their billet .308 lowers? Can't wait!! Both are pure speculation since they've never given solid dates for either. I've been following them on Facebook for a few months now and this question comes up every now and then and the answer is the same: they are trying to catch up on the huge demand they've got for the AX556 and Raptor that the other projects are just getting postponed indefinitely. The AX762 was supposed to be the end of this year, but I'd probably say it'll be spring next year. They said they're making progress on the backlog of AX556's with every run, so it's only a matter of time before they can catch up and start spreading resources to their other projects. My honest opinion is that the earliest we the AX762 is March 2013, upper maybe about this time next year. As far as I know they haven't even cut a prototype or anything. Granted an upper is a lot less complicated than the lowers they designed, but the AX556 was announced roughly a year before they were ever produced for purchase. |

Well the gunsmith finally gave me a call. Got it back and all together finally. Still waiting on the handstops I ordered from LaRue and have to make a decision on light and trigger, but otherwise it's done until I SBR the lower. Specs on the upper:
-BCM BFH 14.5" Mid length -BCM BCG -AAC 51T Blackout; pinned -Wilson Combat T.R.I.M. Rail 13.8 -Wilson Combat Lo-profile gas block -AXTS/Rainier Arms Raptor Charging Handle -KAC Micro BUIS -Aimpoint T1 2MOA on a LaRue LT660

Bump for some of the stragglers who got their lowers in the last batch, but haven't posted pictures yet.
Got the last of my parts in and changed the UBR for a CTR because of weight. Decided on the M300A and SD-3G for light and trigger.

This is as far as I got.
Just gathering parts and am waiting till christmas is over so I can build all 3 together.
And my other seekins upper came the other day so I will put that on the AXTS and have one for the Seekins build also. I have ACS-L and a ACS stocks but not pictured. |

Wow, that's a lot of high end hardware you got
Are you planning on using the TTU with a 45 or 90 degree selector? Please note that many TTUs have compatibility problems with the 45 degree selector. The latest production of short throw selectors are 50 degree throw, aimed to fix this incompatibility. |

All the BAD selectors I have are 90 I dont really care for the 45, Its not that important for me.

They should be there...their site is a little hard to navigate
http://www.knightarmco.com/commercial/?term=rails There it was under commercial -> accessories -> rail adaptor They seem like great rails, but installation requires a special proprietary wrench or some proprietary part that costs $200 or something insane. I'd love to try one eventually, but have no desire to pay for the wrench so I'd most likely have to mail it off to have it put on. I know Weapon Outfitters carries them and they are one of the industry partners on here with their own section http://www.weaponoutfitters.com/kac-urx3-1.html |

Yep, as the 5 degree increase from 45 degree was a fix for Wilson Combat TTU compatibility issues, at 50 degree, the pointer still doesn't point to the letter F in FIRE, especially so if the FIRE engraving is simply represented by a single letter F.

Obama's executive orders basically amounted to squat and all he can do is "encourage" Congress to pass another AWB. Call me optimistic, but no way that makes it through the House right now. At the end of the day, it's just so he can feel good about himself and raise his hands in the air and tell himself it isn't his fault and that he tried. You will get your lower, just have some patience. They will update you guys as they know stuff. |
