Hey @duffy sorry if I missed it, eta on black ACF? I’m desperately in need of ACF and EPC. I see the EPC is any day now, curious if/when ACF will be restocked…
Thanks! |

ACF is trickling out in small quantities. The shop was making quite a few, but many of them had tool marks, they rewrote the programming for their machines and now are producing ACFs without visual blemishes, but the delay means for all of 2020, we have only 300
 Folks get wrapped up in tool marks, some think it's a sign of quality. We're about functions and not looks, took marks don't bother me but it's somehow become a thing. All the same, if other, less expensive CHs don't have them, we shouldn't either. |

Built out the LRF, I tried for a full value build with all the shit I had laying around. Initial impressions on the lower pretty good, SOLGW midnight hard coat is great. I like the mag well flare and the slight indentations/relief areas for the pins.
Here’s a no fux given build that topped out at $1,100 with the MBT. LMT RE and SOPMOD added some cost. Sprinco Blue in there with a no name H2. There’s even an RBF in this bitch!  Attached File Attached File |

With that being said are they releasing through website or dealers as well given the low quantity? Any chance of selling toolmark ones as blems? |

We fill dealers back orders first, and only sell Randy (term of our blemished) ones ourselves. Being there is now very few of the Randy ACFs, we mostly keep them as reserves.

I’d like to see the ACF with tool marks sold as Randy’s too. Impossible to get otherwise. I got a restock notification from a dealer today but didn’t see it for a few hours and they were gone when I checked. I appreciate the the desire to not sell a product that is less than perfect, but I would happily buy one with tool marks if marked as a blem since it doesn’t affect function.

I have a green one but wanted black EXCLUSIVELY for looks and NOT AT ALL related to function LOL. Serves me right for not being an operator.

I can't say I'm above it though, I signed up on a stupid number of wait lists several months ago and didn't even get a notification this round. I'm done putting energy into this hunt, I'll try once again and go with Magpul's new cover if I need to. |

Freedom Trading has lowers back in stock.
As much as I want to FO...it's only going to drive me crazy if I can't do a complete build with all FCD components. Until dust covers and charging handles become available again....I'll see myself to the back of the line.

EPCs and ACFs will always be constrained in availability. EPCs still have the bottleneck in the way of anodizing delays, ACFs are just difficult to make due to the TDP design, fixed T handle, and expensive to make as a result.

I got the email alert for the lower and I placed my order and the owner calls me a few minutes later and says he's canceling my order because I live here (I'm less than 10 minutes away from Freedom Firearms) so you go over there and ask for the lower and don't worry because they have a lot (sorry I couldn't get an exact number or even a ballpark range) so I copped two and now my biggest problem is building two SBR with as much FCD parts I can find.and filling in the rest.

Freedom Firearms has one more LRF in the case and I don't know if Freedom Trading will drop it on their website or if there are any more. They also have Acro P2 so I picked up 2 more.
I'd try calling them or the number on the freedom trading site. I'm excited and happy that I can start buying parts and build 2 new rifles right away. I want to build a 12.5" SBR with mlok rails and a short 10.3 or 10.5 quad rail build. I've been frustrated looking for an LMT Spec wars upper for over a year to pair with my Mars L lower. The only ones I found were used and sellers were asking for way too much |

I was getting frustrated but spent about 15 min one day searching for FCD dealers and signed up for multiple “in stock notifications”. Just got two acf’s and two twin dimpled EPC’s to complete my builds. It’s not that bad if you go that route.
