Alright mostly a placeholder as we watch the development of the LIMA SEVEN, but I want this thing to be available when the L7 is as well. Thoughts right now. Bolt on plate for conversion to bottom eject, and side eject. Dovetail on base for MK48 sack (Split bottom similar to the dual feed lowers) for use with the side eject concept if it's feasible. Machined in mounting plate on left side for HK assault drums (Think MG3) Matching parting line with L7 Ambi-Controls Better design for manufacturing to keep cost down some and not have to increase prices down the road. Probably won't do a "Pre-Order" as that has proven to be frustrating, would rather have product available on launch if we can pull it off. Plate concept:   |

I definitely want some way to mount drums or nut sacks. Can we get a right side bolt hold open/release? I was thinking with your IGM6 lower it could be done if the left and right side pieces had interlaced fingers (or gear teeth) that would allow it to exert pressure up or down from either side of the receiver. |

Yes that can work depending on the upper of course. We didn't add that on the IGM7 because of the reciprocating charging handle. But it could be fully mirrored in a sense. |

The lower in our head will function both ways. Deflection plate in for side eject and MK48 "Nutsack" attached on a lower dovetail (Double Rail). Or, you can use the blocking plate and keep it bottom eject using M240 pouches, or MG3 Assault Drums. Obviously this is going to depend on how the upper ends up, and dimensional space on the left side. I believe Harvey was going to make the M240 hanger part of the upper, so we will do MG3 and Dovetail on the lower. Three ways to feed this thing if we can pull it off!  |
