He really should go into the wheel barrow business. He has to have one to carry around his huge balls for showing up in this thread at this stage. Amazing.

I placed orders with DDLES as follows:
Glock small frame lower March 2013, received September 2013 Sig 556 stock adapter July 2013, received October 2013 Glock small frame lower September 2013, received February 2014 My lowers were 6061 standard profile, I made a point of telling them I would accept any markings to avoid something not being shipped because I wanted shocker markings or something. I am relatively local and was able to harass the shop to ensure delivery. Jon never wronged me, and the few times I spoke to him on the phone he was very helpful. That being said I can certainly understand the vitriol from those here who never got product for their monies paid in good faith. I do hope the new company keeps making these lowers and spare parts to support the old if necessary. |

Well he logged back in the 5th but y'all scared him away I think.

All of the unfilled orders were impacted by the folks at QC10 shutting off the production equipment in early 2013. Prior to 2013 DDLES had an excellent reputation. In the end, I am sorry I have been absent from this thread. I am personal sorry for the delays customers have experienced. DDLES will be working as hard as it can to stay in operation and fill any and all open orders. View Quote And what exactly is the delay in cutting checks for canceled orders like order #3690 on January 14th 2013 for a BB-9x19-GS AR15 Pistol Caliber Bolt $229.95? |
|
Order 3342 is still out $616.85 for the barrel, bolt, and handguard. Refunds are still acceptable/preferred.
|

Invoice 0000003610 made on Jan 7, 2013 for a SM Frame Lower @ 292.02
Anyone have any traction on this? Is there still intent to fill these orders? Regards, Mac |

Just talked to the people at QuarterCircle10 and they informed me that the 1st run of Colt 9mm Lowers should be up on their website in the next few days.

Anyone experience problems with mag catches binding on the lower? The one I got is a DPMS and I don't if it's a problem or if it's something common with these lowers. If I push the mag release at a perfect 90 degree angle to the receiver, it works just fine. But if I use my right hand index finger as you would normally do, it binds. Seems like the whole thing is just too tight. Suggestions?

I'd suggest changing it out for a higher quality part and see if that solves your problem. |

I don't remember which LPK I used initially, but after switching to another (which I also don't remember), it's smoother now. Seems like the mag-catch-arm slot (on the left side of the receiver) is a bit too narrow, so some of the mag catches get hung up here. I figure it'll be a self-correcting issue, over time, with a steel mag catch and AL lower. :)

I used a Rock River lower parts kit on my Colt style lower with no issues at all.
|
|
Ok, I'll see what I can find. Had some trouble finding a "nicer" LPK without the trigger group (used a Geissele) so I just went with what Brownells had.
|
|
PSA usually has LPKs without the FCG. I never installed a milspec mag release as I put a Norgon on it immediately. It works perfectly on my DDLES lower.
|
|
what handguard is that?? i've been looking for something like that.
|
|
Not sure what happened/is happening here, but thanks QC for picking up on the DDLES design. When I can I'll be buying one and have something to put my MUR on.
Also do yall ever plan on making the Multi Cal lowers eventually? |

I called QC10 today then ordered a Colt-style lower. Carole answered the phone and was extremely helpful and friendly. It made it a lot easier to spend the money. She emailed me promptly after I completed my online order (not an automated email) to tell me she got the order and would ship as soon as my FFL sent her his license. $290 shipped is a lot of money for a lower, but well worth it in my opinion.

View Quote Is your upper an RRA? Also, that gas/brass deflector and small door - can that be installed on any stripped upper's port door or does one have to buy it installed OEM?? |

Yes sir.

Quoted:
Yes sir. You can buy the small door and the 9mm shell deflector separately and install them on any milspec upper. I had to remove and reinstall them in order to be able to mount the upper in a vise clamp and it really wasn't that big of a deal despite never having done it before. YouTube is a huge help.

I've been adding up the cost of building an AR pistol with Sig Brace and with the cost of the lower, getting a stripped upper may be on of the few ways to take cost out |

To each his own but I personally hate Sig braces. Half the cost of a tax stamp that you'll eventually want to buy anyway. SBR stamps are getting approved in 30 days rights now. If it were me, I'd just go straight to SBR-land.

I like that with my pistol lower I can have three different length pistol uppers. You can't do that with a SBR.

You've been buying into the gun shop myths. I can have an infinite number of different length uppers on any of my SBRs.

Do you just register the OAL as the length of a milspec receiver or with a 1" barrel or something? or is the whole thing myth? TIA, Richard |

While it's in Title 1 status (i.e. 16"+ barrel installed) you do not have to notify ATF if you take it across state lines and you can then put a short barrel back on it once you're back in your home state. |
