I got mine (small frame glock) in on Saturday from Gunbroker. Everything seems to check out... Magazine locks in and drops free, milspec buffer tube threads in fine. It came with the special bolt catch spring and instructions for installation. The special last round hold device thingy was already installed and the instructions include how to adjust if it doesn't perform as designed.
I bought a 7" Wilson 9mm barrel, A1 flash hider, and a 7" UTG super slim. Now I gotta get a bolt and an A4 RRA receiver. (I've got it mocked up with a 5.56 receiver from a build that got sidelined.) |

I received a lower from the gunbroker ad. Fast shipping excellent service. Lower looks great no flaws. Bought a yhm upper once it arrives will go to the range. Glad someone took it over because I need a glock lower now.

QuarterCircle10 (Gunbroker ID: QTRC10) who have recently starting selling off new/old stock on Gunbroker are the folks that took over the equipment/production from DDLES. They want everyone to know that hey are not associated to DDLES or the current DDLES website (so purchase at your own risk). QuarterCircle10 will be improving on the existing designs and improving manufacturing with tighter tolerances as well as carrying spare parts for the current design. Not sure of the timeline but this is good news.

I received my large frame Glock lower from QuarterCircle10. The quality doesn't look like it's lacking even though it was from the last leftover batch that John failed to ship. I even received the specific spring for the bolt catch as well. These guys are legit. :)

I just received my DDLES lower I snagged off gunbroker last week. Everything seems in order, haven't built it yet but did insert a mag. Looks okay mag drops with their glock mag release. Got a spring for the bolt catch and the install directions. Also asked a few questions (difference between the large and small frame) and they responded within an hour. I'm happy.

They are solid folks trying to build a company out of the ashes of DDLES. The downfall of DDLES is the sole responsibility of Jon Beaudry (may shit be upon him). Don't start bashing them just yet because they didnt answer your email lickty-split. |

Don't start bashing them just yet because they didnt answer your email lickty-split. I asked my question over a week ago, but I'm not bashing. I decided to wait on purchasing anyway. However, based on the information on this thread Quarter Circle was a 2/3 majority owner of DDLES. How were they completely helpless to improve customer service and hire more people to improve production. How can a majority owner be completely innocent in this? It's easy to blame just one person. Quarter Circle sells some leftover, overpriced 6061 receivers and people are already praising this company like they actually did something. I'm really just playing devil's advocate here. |

My DDLES Colt lower should be shipping tomorrow. I've talked to the guy Russ, I think he's the owner, on the phone a couple times in trying to get my payment sent since gunbroker was having issues. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he sounds like he is busy as hell and doing a lot of stuff by himself.

I think some of his employees are the same guys that worked for Jon and I can't say the same thing about them. Here's what the guy that inspected the Glock frame lower that I had issues getting a buffer tube to thread on had to say when he received it earlier today: I looked at the pictures and it definitely looks like they sent you a commercial tube. The stripping of the threads comes from the threads being too far apart. The difference in the 2 types of tubes is that the commercial is going to be overall thinner on the outside dimensions but have a greater distance (pitch) between each valley. I've attached another picture of the difference between the 2 types.. Their website (rainer arms) shows that their 2 types use a flat bottomed tube. The only true way to tell is with a pitch gauge and caliper. If our receiver was tapped wrong to the commercial size it would be no problem fitting a mil spec tube or commercial. However since you couldn't get it in that means that the receiver is MIL-spec and that the buffer tube you are trying to use is not MIL-spec. Anyone want to chime in on the accuracy of his statement? Here are the photos that I sent to him of the Rainier Arms mil-spec buffer tube I used. If I'm not mistaken, the threading on lower receivers for buffer tubes are standard (1 3/16x16). |

Mil spec and commercial should have the exact same threading since they both have to fit the same lowers and I have never heard of milspec or commercial lowers. If it wont fit your buffer tube, either that buffer tube has something wrong with it, or the lower does. Have you tried another buffer tube? I hope, if it's the receiver, that it's fixable since you can't exactly exchange it for another one. |

Perhaps their lowers are cut to mate snuggly with VLTOR receiver extensions? I'm going to try on several buffer tubes when the lower returns to me. It looks like my solution is to get a VLTOR tube. What model VLTOR are you using, ClayBuster? The A5 or the standard mil-spec? The A5. Maybe take it to a local shop and try a couple different ones then buy the one that is the most snug? The important stuff happens on the other end of the pistol anyway |

I did. I used a mil-spec buffer tube from Rainier Arms. They got a VLTOR A5 tube to fit when they received it which really perplexes me.

Have you tried threading your tube (the one that didn't fit the DDLES receiver) onto a few different receivers to make sure the issue isn't your tube? |

Got my Colt pattern receiver in today. Very nice receiver! Now as far as a lower parts kit is concerned, what do y'all recommend? I read some stuff about different kinds of bolt catches being available for 9mm ARs?

So QC10 got a tube onto your DDLES receiver? Have you tried threading your tube (the one that didn't fit the DDLES receiver) onto a few different receivers to make sure the issue isn't your tube? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Did that to several lowers, even took it to a gunshop and it threaded onto other receivers normally. The tube was originally on my Noveske lower. |

I asked my question over a week ago, but I'm not bashing. I decided to wait on purchasing anyway. However, based on the information on this thread Quarter Circle was a 2/3 majority owner of DDLES. How were they completely helpless to improve customer service and hire more people to improve production. How can a majority owner be completely innocent in this? It's easy to blame just one person. Quarter Circle sells some leftover, overpriced 6061 receivers and people are already praising this company like they actually did something. I'm really just playing devil's advocate here.

I received my large frame Glock lower from QuarterCircle10. The quality doesn't look like it's lacking even though it was from the last leftover batch that John failed to ship. I even received the specific spring for the bolt catch as well. These guys are legit. :) I asked a couple of questions on Gunbroker about thereceivers on two different occasions. I never received an answer. So these guys already have crap customer service to me. Plus, haven't these guys been a part of DDLES the whoe time and owned the majority of the company? How do they get a pass on not taking any responsibility? Or is it all on one person? And wasn't Jon the brains behind the design, I'm interested in seeing what these so-called improvements are... They are solid folks trying to build a company out of the ashes of DDLES. The downfall of DDLES is the sole responsibility of Jon Beaudry (may shit be upon him). Don't start bashing them just yet because they didnt answer your email lickty-split. I asked my question over a week ago, but I'm not bashing. I decided to wait on purchasing anyway.

Unsderstood. There was a lawsuit between Jon and his investors due to Jon's shady practices, and they wound up with the majority of the assets and basically kicked Jon Beaudry's no-good ass out. Whats happening now is a reset. -Disclaimer- I am in no way affiliated with DDLES or Quarter Circle. |
