Thanks for everything you're doing. Both in terms of revitalizing this stuff, and putting up with the current nature of the world and commerce.

Ordered one from each batch and got one serial off from consecutive numbers.
 ETA - I sure as heck can't find the blem. The glory days of NDS lives on.

@Sonata_Dusk We do ship STRIPPED lowers to both CA and MD. Josiah said if you get an error message or some weird stuff during ordering to screenshot it and send it to him so we can fix the glitch. |

I wonder if the next batch of lowers will be released with the uppers? I would love to get the set together. It would be great to buy the pair as one sku but even if they were released at the same time that would be great. I know so many people who are chomping at the bit for any carry handle upper. I'll have to just keep refreshing this thread so I don't miss out again.

Might as could be sets (upper and lower together) might be planned, once production ramps up some. (Neither PSA nor H&R employed, just speculation. I mean, after the five or six folks who want a set buy them, the demand might dry up...
 )

He could always mismatch the sets and force you to buy the whole collection in order to get the upper & lower you actually want.

"Blind boxing" is a Thing in the collectibles industry - buy a miniature or a figure or something, what's inside is a mystery - could be something you want, could be something you already have six of, could be an entirely unique one-off that was made *just* for chasing down.
