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.

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.

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?

DDLES is no more.  QC10 is making the lowers and should have them in full production soon.  I believe they've already shipped a few from their first run.

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've had that happen with DPMS mag catches.  I'd suggest changing it out for a higher quality part and see if that solves your problem.

Mine did this as well.  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.  :)

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.

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.

It's not really a lot when you consider a $200 Hahn mag block + lower of your choice.  It ends up about the same except looking much cooler!

That is the logic I needed. It also helps that I am going to recover some if the cost by selling off my mag block.

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.

Very cool and thanks for the quick reply man!!  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 agree but the Sig braces are convenient for transporting across state lines without the required ATF paperwork.

Paperwork is easy, free, and good for a year. My last stamp was 34 days, I'm at 29 days and waiting on my next one, and as soon as my QC10 lower comes in, it will be sent off.

I kept my 9mm as a pistol for awhile because of that reason, but then I realized I could just remove the stock and put the Sig brace back on and take it where I want to.

I'm largely SBR-stupid, but I did think that if you registered an SBR as being X" in length (or maybe it was with an X" barrel?) that you could not go shorter without new paperwork - is that incorrect?  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?

You register it as whatever you're going to initially build.  After that, you're free to change it at your whim.  ATF requests you notify them in the case that you make any permanent changes, although with an AR there really aren't any permanent changes.

A perm change includes getting rid the of cal an length upper you reg it with.

So if you pick up a different cal or length upper and sell your org one you MUST notify the NFA of the change so they in turn can change the info in the registry.

Yes.  You can even put a 16"+ upper on it if you want.  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.
