I was trying to find some information on some parts, but there website no longer works.  I gave a call to the phone number provided and it keeps on ringing.  Has anyone heard anything about them closing up?  I can’t find any info on that.

If you are talking about the newest venture from Paul then yes it’s gone.

This website?

Ordered some parts, a week ago. Received them over the weekend.
Still there.

I dunno, but that SMG 45 looks kinda fun...


I'd love to slap my Octane 45 on it and put a few mags down range and see how it sounds/feels...

Sounds good! Hope they're not gone I'm on the waiting list for a piston carrier for my M6IC. Until they come available (who knows). Called talked to Ed he says about two months but that could turn into months and months the way things are now with shortages. Anyway, so far looks like I may be able to use my extra POF carrier from what I can tell examining  at the bench. Also, have a Superlative carrier that looks promising. I know the LWRC is proprietary  but checking fit, lockup, op rod connection with key head and checking headspace with the POF might could use in the meantime. POF doesn't have the "risers" at the back like the LWRC for aiding in carrier tilt the POF seems to work fine hand cycling as fast as I could. But shooting will tell the story! Rich

I thought the Sig 516 and the LWRC carriers were so close there was a legal battle to enforce changes. Been a few years so perhaps I’m mistaken.

You mean the SMG that took them 10 years to actually produce and looks worse than the original concept. I gave up waiting and went with a TommyBuilt UMP clone.

Not disputing your other points, but the timeline seems a little off. Wasn’t it first shown at SHOT in 2015? And hasn’t it been out for a few years??

Pretty sure it was before then, but maybe not quite ten years either. I still think they fumbled at the goal line.
