Quoted:
I called a company and asked to get some 80% receivers with the cool flashings but was told it would" cost 10k because of set up changes" I am thinking of getting a group together and offer a machinist an opportunity to make some 80% with flashings for the hive. Who would be interested? I know it will all depend on price but my guess, and I mean a guess, it will mid 150 per receiver to get a special batch. Any interested email me. If we get enough I will see what can be done. Braceman is making a couple 80% lowers with the forging flash for me as we speak. He started with 0% lowers. |

Cool. If you do a partial fence don't drill the hole in the fence. :)

Yes a lower receiver not upper. I agree no drain hole on front takedown dent and make a partial fence. How much did brace charge for his made from 0 %. We would have to start from 0 % to get the "flashings" The larger companies ie tactical machine. They remove them when they finish their product. I like the look that the flash give a retro project.

You know, I left the flash on the front lip of the first batch of A1's and you guys complained about it.

Man I wish this was doable a couple years ago when I did my 80% lowers.......maybe reason to get into another build! I can now legally own an SBR in MI....I think it might be time for a 733.

People complained about flashings? Wow I have never seen a real retro receiver with out them. I believe they left them there to decrease machining operation and crank out more guns faster. Has anyone ever seen a " real military retro" without flashings? Love to see it if you have photos

I haven't gotten my parts from braceman yet, and no word yet on how much it will cost me.
