Hmmm... I guess they dont like rear sights. Lightweight is one thing, but reducing functionality  Yeah I saw that. I don't understand that one bit. |

A bunch I am sure. I bet you could take almost a full ounce out of it real fast.

Speaking of removing rail, any thought given to doing a version of the new handguards like the "light" series from Midwest? Just a bit of rail where it mates up to the upper and an inch or so at the far end for irons? |

We have thought about it yes... I am not crazy about the look, but I also understand that not everyone needs that much "Railistate."

I don't even need a bit of rail at the front, just a couple inches at the back. BUIS are for girls.

I had one, liked the look but it was a bit skinny in my hand. If it's not in the running in the near term, I'll just get a regular one from you guys.

4.8 for the stripped upper and 5.85 for the stripped lower. But I wouldn't bother with them. They stopped delivering on customer orders and won't answer there phone or email. I've been waiting over 3 months for a lower and there uppers have been out of stock since last year which is why I'm here now researching a new receiver set. What a shame, there company had real potential.

I got it because the FFL I manage is one of the ones that will be carrying it as we had supported Nate Murr with the Gripstop early on. Murr is a personal friend of mine. And for the record, since there is confusion from some people, Nate Murr is not the Nate that owns Lanco. Murr is the inventor and owner of the Gripstop design. I decided before revamping the packages for this AR build class that the Gripstop would be standard on all the rifles, no matter what package. It was close, but I got them on Friday (just 5 so I had enough for the students). Anyway, the Gripstop on the 2A Armament stuff, as you can see, is super light AND it looks badass. |

Not to get off topic, but that B5 piece looks a LOT like this one. The only difference I can see is the triangular region they cut out.

Lanco is done with the grip stop and b5 is running it now, with some improvements. |

That's weird. 2 weeks ago i decided to go with them for a build, mostly because of how active they are here and how engaged in their customers they seem to be. I had my choice between primary arms, vertex ops and Bauer precision. ..all in stock. Brandon at Bauer was great to work with and i got my receiver in 2 days. I've since been back for the matching upper and take down pins because of it. Strange you have had such a different experience, given that they are still listed as on stock at many of the dealers on 2A's site? |

The inventor and owner of the design used to work at Lanco. They produced it. They no longer have the rights to produce it. The inventor and owner of the design brought it to B5. End result? Closer to the original design and way better. |

I still can not get over the fit and finish of 2A parts. The truck gets me out were I want to be, that is for sure. Heading to Moab in a couple of weeks! I was able to get out and shoot the new build yesterday and was quite impressed. With little time, Idaho wind, off-hand, bore sighted in my shop and a pissed off hooker tied up in my truck bed screaming for money, I was pretty happy. I will hit you up soon on the 2A site soon for your thoughts on a particular OCD quandary. |

I got to say, this receiver set is amazing. My rifle turned out to be super light weight and maneuverable. I am a fan for life and I look forward to new product offerings in the future! I'd love to see a light weight lower parts kit in either titanium or polymer, and your gas block with an adjustable flavor!

It appears that Gen 3 pmags fit a little loosely in the lower. Gen 2 mags wobble a bit, but not nearly as bad as the Gen 3 mags. Can anyone speak to this?

Yup, the P-mags are a little loose.
USGI mags fit very well though. I have also noticed that the Gen-3 magazine follower is a little shorter at the back, and does not catch as much of the bolt catch as a standard mag. Not sure why they are so small compared to a USGI mag. I am running some 20 round Colt mags in my most recent build. They fit beautiful! P-mags are a little loose though. Never had a function problem from it though. Ryan |
