The very small batch of 200 quickly sold out, most of them were sent to dealers.
The much larger batch is coming back from ano finally and headed back to the shop for assembly and laser engraving, with another big run following These batches are large enough I think anyone that wants one can obtain it, don't pay scalper prices

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Scrapple: One of the most painful things I've ever felt is snagging my nail hard on my forward assist. Ever since then, I am very careful when charging with the right side. When I found out about your low profile for assist, I knew I had to have some. I purchased five, and can't wait to get rid of all of my fingernail catchers. Hmm, something to add to the list of why I get my uppers without provision for a forward assist. I hadn't thought about something like that happening. |

LMT MARS-L compatible left side bolt catch design is complete, we'll be in prototype stage soon.
We don't usually like to make parts for a specific company's system, but it so happens I like LMT a great deal and they're super nice to us, and the LMT MARS-L compatible bolt catch also works on a non-MARS-L lower. When a company like LMT gives us the opportunity, we do not turn it down lol. LDFA was created specifically for left hand shooters, or right hand shooters that use the right latch of an ambi charging handle. The internet has no shortage of critics that seem to superimpose their own experience and needs on others, and make assumptions on their behalf. I still remember the naysayers and their "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and "solution in search of a problem" comments for LDFA. For an able bodied person, a wheelchair is a solution in search of a problem. Our products are purpose driven. Nothing without a reason, everything with a purpose, these reasons and purposes don't apply to everyone. |

Any thoughts on doing plates for the VP9 at all? Back ordered to infinity it seems, even the aftermarket one.
Oh, and maybe it's just me but I for one would love to see an FCD G17 MOS slide with suppressor height sights. I'd prepay right now sight unseen

Thought about doing slides, but unless we can do it better than existing competent designs, we will probably stay out of that space.

Recently installed some duck forward assists and after one press check it was a "holy crap this is a well thought-out product" moment. That's FCD in a nutshell, yall are crushing it. Small but meaningful improvements over milspec with no frills or non value-added widgets.
Please make more BCGs I beg

I think your bolt catches would be an excellent addition to the MARS-L and when I got one, I'd have tried to see if a bolt catch like yours could be modified to work in it, so nice to see that won't be necessary. Are you planning on also doing one for the right side? |

I looked at the right side MARS-L bolt catch, I'd reduce the lower paddle size if we made one. The "leg" has to be pressed onto the bolt catch body, but there isn't much we can do do make it better so we left it alone

It's been suggested to limit the quantity, we haven't done it yet. The shortage will go away, as will the buying frenzy and "drop" culture.
If we could source them more readily, this wouldn't be a thing, but even in the best of times when we could get them, SBCGs took months to make. It isn't our part to say who can buy what, and how many, so I'm loathe to put a cap on quantity. SOLGW and SIONICS both provide Microbest BCGs for us to convert into SBCGs, for the most part, they're almost identical to the SBCG, we use OCKS, SCP (cam pin with a dimpled machined on one side so you'd always put it back in the same orientation), serrations or dimpled to make it easier to push on the carrier as a forward assist. If you can't get one of ours, SOLGW, SIONICS, HDSI, BCM BCGs are all great choices. |

We're not participating in the drop culture willingly, nevertheless, due to the shortage of particular parts, it'd seem we are part of the problem.
Purpose driven, form follows function shapes can look rather good, it's purely a coincidence, we don't go out of our way to make things look nice, which makes it rather humorous those that focus on looks appear to do such a poor job at making things look "tactical", they have one job lol. Our mission is to make a difference to users that use their firearms as tools, defense and duty. It is not our intention to attract folks that worry about scratches and imperfections or buy our products because of the way they look, they happen to be photogenic despite our function over form design philosophy. That said, we love all of our customers, whether they have our products for work or because they look good. We've actually toned down the aesthetics on the CNF so the flutes (functional, coarse serrations) aren't distracting. |

We will see the end of ABC/R shortage soon. Since its introduction in 2015, they've been always out of stock 10 months out of the year, to the point they've become an ancillary product line for FCD as we diversify to expand to high quality, dedicated AR armorer tools and pistol optics mounting plates.
They are rather complicated and difficult to make out of a solid block of 8620. MIM or injection would be cheaper but it'd also make it very expensive to make improvements on it as we have since 2015 (hence the v3 designation), even within the latest v3, we made another adjustment to make it more tolerant of bolt catch hole and bosses tolerances, not something easily done or quickly with molds. It's never been our objective to make everything under the sun, or flood the market with any particular product. The higher cost of our products pretty much preclude either and that's fine with me, there are good players in the space that can do both quality and volume, we're too small for both, so we forgo volume. |
