That seems pretty nice, but the Amazon one we're using seems to be faster and more convenient to use than that one. It QDs to the reciever mount and is less to deal with.

That would work on a reciever that can't use the one we use, though.

Agreed. Back when quad rails were the go to that brass catcher made sense. I can’t think of a single non-quad rail equipped rifle I have that the TBR catcher would work on. If that don’t have a full quad I don’t have rail that far back. I’d have to add a rear biased 3 o’clock rail section via MLOK or Dickmod to a few rifles, and I guess drill into some A1/A2 HGs for the others, haha.

You may have another chance tomorrow. Stay tuned to the company's social media.

This is the big thread we use for getting a heads-up on Gen 4 and Gen 3 releases.

Gotta carve out some time at work tomorrow morning to make I at least have a chance of snagging one of those. Whether it’s a limited release or one for sale, I always seem to miss them.

I was lucky on one of the earlier Gen 4 drops. I kept refreshing the site a couple hours before release and got in as soon as it went live.

I know page 1 says Colt or Hydramatic for lowers, but since these were built on old A1 lowers, would an H&R A1 be correct as well? Debating between an H&R A1 from PSA or a GM Hydramatic A1 from BAD.

I gotta ditch this A2 lower and eventually swap the Aero upper.

Between clone-tisming here and Reddit, I ordered one a couple hours ago. And then a SSA-E from Brownell’s since PA’s website crashed during the sale. Inching closer to being correct.

It's a cheap Chy-na mill, so it's not a clone of anything. No sense in wasting precious Aervoe on it.

I'd like to try completely disassembling them if I get another set (these are highs, I need some mediums as well). Would make for easier access and workholding. I used a scale as a packer under the lock since it and the base aren't coplanar.

Get this thread back on page 1.

ACE stock came in Monday, H&R A1 lower came in Wednesday, picked up a Mk4 with M3 turrets Wednesday, Geissele SSA-E came in Thursday, threw it all together, drank a few beers, resprayed with my porch light as my only illumination and bam, Mod H that I’m not ashamed of.

lol Ill try. Honestly didn’t know WetWorx had another run of them until I saw it on Reddit and then immediately posted it here. If you can settle for a Gen 4, I think Doublestar is doing a run of those soon.
