Is there a mailing list we can get on so we know when this goes live? I see several people have asked about a preorder, so I'm wondering about that too. I ordered an ARC Fire V2 today because I'm concerned about breaking my Atrius, which will be moving to an AR. When the ARHK is available, I will buy one and move the ARC Fire V2 to an AR. Can't have too many FRT equipped guns. |

Since they're still in development, I'd suggest some pull weight options -- maybe 3lbs or 3.5lbs in addition to the standard. Possibly offer some short pull trigger options (I.e. the slim/thin style HK trigger shoes that aren't as long of a reach). It's hard to justify swapping to the ARHK when you already have an ASD/ARMP5 lower with a G trigger (that runs flawlessly); the only thing lacking on that is in the aesthetics department. But if the choice is between classic HK lower looks or better trigger/function/ergonomics, I personally have to go with the latter. But I'm likely in the minority on that one. (Yes, I know the Leber V2 is a decent compromise for both HK aesthetics and AR triggers/ergonomics, but for me, being 3D printed is a deal breaker. Now, if someone came out with a proper injection molded polymer Leber...) |

Fellow POF users, This clipped but not pinned SUO pattern lower seems to fit great. Attached File |

I found these in my parts box along with a lot other stuff I forgot about. Too bad I’m all in on the navy setups. I haven’t looked in that box in over a decade A German SEF clipped and pinned with German SEF semi only pack.   I also found one for the MP5 but it’s got a clone pack I’m pretty sure  I guess the arhk would work with these? But I’d rather use it on my Navy rigs. |

We plan to build as many of the ARHK as possible to not run out of stock, the assembly can be done a little faster than the current lowers so that will help as well. |

You guys have a very rough timeline for these? If you can speak in terms of months… That’s good enough. |

Totally understand, I sit near our customer service rep. Looking forward to it! |

Looks like they created a place holder listing and price. If this has been shared before, sorry. Didn't see it. Link |

I cant wrap my head around people that are willing to do business with rare breed instead of just having an ASD arhk sent to them by a friend or relative after they're released. ETA:

Look how many EE listings refuse to send anything to “ban states”… |

Why the supreme court won't circle back on its own case where NY snubbed the permits rule and other 2A decisions is annoying. |

I’m new to the MP5 clones. Looking at an AP5 or AP5p. The local shop has them for $999. Probably gonna get one tomorrow. This as designs unit will work in either, correct? Just gotta decide if I want the 8” or 5”. Wife’s gonna be out of town for a few days so it’s time to treat myself. Birthday is in a couple of weeks.

That’s a pretty good price. Yes they work in both IIRC. I went 8” for my first… I’ve heard they are smoother shooting, and I had to scratch that die hard/The Rock/90s navy seal itch that the K model couldn’t quite touch. That said I still want a K too.

We could have also rushed out a MP5 only version to capture the sells but we didn't. |

Outstanding, looking forward to it, brother. I want a 33/93 in the collection. |

The main one is it adds significantly more complexity to the FCG parts in order to pull this off, more springs and more custom CNC parts. The second big issue was it would make the trigger pull significantly worse unless i figure out a new and better method to pull it off. IMO it would just make the design worse all around and more complicated but of course someone could later down the road make a upgrade kit to do this we wouldn't stop them. |
