We are working on both, but the receivers will probably be finished first.
I have barrels and components, but we need to get the new CNC fixtures installed and zeroed out. We’ll also have polymer CAR stock assemblies with gray 2 position buffer tubes and CAR lock rings. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mike_nds: Sorry, I want good parts not fast parts. Mike, like the majority here, I’m glad that you took on this massive project since you are known for quality and I’m glad that you’re focusing on lower receivers first. Also, through my own experiences in life, there is always that 10% that will always bitch about the beer, but never bring anything to the party. |

I wouldn't worry. The AR15 is "in common use" per SCOTUS and therefore protected by the 2nd. Mags...features. Maybe dangerous flash hiders and stuff will be back on the verboten list ca. 1994 but that's not going to help in the mid-terms this fall

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mike_nds: Are you a wizard? I was just looking at Mauser sporters on gunbroker. What caliber? This is a .30-06. Previous is a .270 and is on Gunbroker. I have been buying and selling Mauser of all types for a decade. These are the first two H&R rifles I have owned. (Still looking for an FN version.) Did pick up a complete action (Zastava/H&R) awhile back that someone was going to build into something else. Tangent: Bought an Interarms Mk X barreled action online. No mention of factory box until it was delivered in it with label stuck to box. Actually a very early Whitworth, marked on barrel instead of action. First I have seen. You do know that Zastava still has the tooling to make commercial 98s......

There is no need to worry about our beloved Second Amendment. We just concluded a "Convention of the States" in which 34 states participated. Every one of the Amendments were amended to make our brand new Constitution ironclad and non-violatable in today's modern digital world. You can also expect to see the Federal government reduced to 1/10th it's current size and the whole of DC dismantled with the remaining individual departments dispersed throughout the states. For example, the Treasury Department will be in Reno. The Defense Deprtment in Nevada or Arizona and the New Whitehouse in Texas. Desmo |

I’m leaning towards actions for home builders, a series of limited edition sporters in classic calibers, and a vintage sniper model.
But don’t hold your breath, it could take years to get started. |

Hey, I sent an email over about this - has there been any thought towards providing lowers with stampings on the forward magwell/other minimally obtrusive markings for home-cloners/laser etchers/and the like? Especially now that 80%s are effectively done (not that I ever had access).
Perhaps 100% lowers left in the white? I've seen a few companies offer that. Can't wait to get my hands on another A1 profile lower! |

Oh, yeah, definitely - and I'll be buying one of your H&R marked lowers ASAP. I'm just in the market for a receiver for a RO633 which, as you may have guessed, requires quite a bit of custom marking work.
Anyway, I appreciate the reply! Thank you. |

I know that NDS ceased production, but I was under the impression that there were a number of in-the-white uppers left over from a run at NDS before the sale of that company, that needed only to be anodized (perhaps I was misinformed) then offered up for sale. In any event, there is a great, pent-up demand out there for grey AND black A1 uppers, as you know. But, I'll keep checking here with great anticipation, as I have been, for their release. My point is.....was NDS the ONLY company producing these in quantity before the sale? BTW, THANKS be to you, AND your team, for ALL that you are doing! |
