Alright here is what we expect to go out around the 15th by ORDER NUMBER sorted by VOUCHER NUMBER!  

Confusing?

We sorted by voucher number, accounted for SN requests, added in all the CO orders so they are taken care of, and then back filled based on availability.

Keep in mind that some order numbers have multiple lowers in them, and those that requested higher SNs, but were on a lower voucher are getting pushed back to accommodate the SN request. We also still have a hand full of early vouchers that have never been used for final purchase. We have reached out multiple times to those individuals.


Order Numbers Shipping on, or around the 15th of July:

I suggest you make sure the slot for the gas key gets covered by the lower. So no need for a gas plug there.

Also, an ambi bolt catch would be a bonus.

Make sure that the upper can pivot enough to remove the BCG if you pop open the rear take down pin.

M16 cut FGC pocket please.

Oh and make it look cool

I’m interested in 2. If you get a list going on the website I’d be willing to do a half down rest due at shipping to bank roll this.

I have a mag block from you. Nice product.

Harvey already hit the high points.

-Oversized Ambi Controls
-M16 spec FCG pocket
-Oversized Trigger Guard

It would be cool if it followed the contours of the upper, and maybe lightning cuts.

And all that being said, maybe a replacement charging handle, larger, that resembles an M240 charging handle.

Yes.  : )

All,

Lightening cuts don't make sense on a belt fed in my opinion.  I don't want it to weigh a ton, but I also don't want it to be super light either.  Removing unnecessary material without lightening cuts should be more than enough to balance it out.

Over the weekend we are going to create a page on our website that is "Unlisted" and I will share the link in the original thread. We will add the lower as out of stock with the option to be notified. This will create a nice list for the project, and when ready for deposit it will auto mail!

Standby!

I second this. Machine lines in the lower could be made to be an aesthetically pleasing match to the upper without additional expensive machine time or thru-holes.

Was thinking about doing a dedicated 3d printed lower for the L6 that would allow for normal controls unlike the Hoffman version.

I have my printer dialed in for the high end CF nylons as a material selection choice.

Really would just need to get my hands on the upper to get that rolling but not sure when the next order window is.

Would probably do 2 versions at least for the fire controls, 0-90-180 and 0-45-90 since the new AS Designs ARC Fire has the shorter throw option.

As far as names go, wouldn't the name "Aethon" be most appropriate?  It's a name shared by several mythical steeds, including the fire-breathing horses of the sun god Helios.

Looking forward to a lower receiver option that makes the L6 look less like a belt fed AR-15 and more like its own thing, I'm in for one on day one.

To be clear on my suggested lightning cuts this describes what I had in mind.  Cutting all the way through is not the idea, and would be a detriment.

A lot of people wanted a belt-fed but were never going to spend $8,000—or even $6,000—on one. Honestly, many wouldn’t even spend more than $4,000. Harvey has made it possible for just about anyone to own one. At roughly $2,000 for a kit and another $1,000 for a lower and barrel, most people can afford a $3,000 belt-fed. The option to buy it piece by piece, as finances allow, makes it even more attainable.

With that said, some people want a budget-friendly lower, while others are willing and able to buy the best option available. I could see value in offering a simple base lower alongside a higher-end version with all the bells and whistles. I think both would sell well.

My plan this whole time was to buy one from Cryo for $250—if they ever actually made one and started shipping. My backup plan was to buy one of their $200 lowers and use a $55 Inoculum adapter, which it seems several people have already done. So a lot of folks are willing to put at least $250 into a quality Lima Six lower. If this can be pulled off, I think they would sell very easily. I think you would sell 70 plus for every 100 Lima uppers / kits sold.

I’m definitely interested in one and waiting to see where this goes.

Everything Harvey said in his post except... I don't see the need or extra expense for an ambi bolt release.

But more importantly... I didn't see any mention in this thread about the rear shelf height. The back end of this lower must be able to accept an RDIAS or the whole thing would be a non starter for me.

I'd also ad with the exception of making it fair into the L6 keep the lower as close to mil spec as possible.

Don't need or see any reason for any kind of lightening cut outs.

The simpler the better to keep your costs down.

As far as a name... I don't really care but honestly I'm not in to fancy. That said, pick what you like and call it good.

I would happily buy at least one of your dedicated lowers. Especially if the quality is on par with the L6 mag well adaptor I bought from you.

You could just get a forged lower that hasn’t had the mag well machined out and cut it out and weld on an extended Nutsack adapter grind it flush and cerakote it

Did you read the OP? If you had you would know what he chose the name in line with his other products.

Please explain to me how a lower receiver can have a sexual orientation? I find juvenile comments like that to be why the site gets the reputation that it does. I come here for knowledge and information. I don’t care what the name is, as long as the lower works well with the upper. I am looking forward to the next update.

Anyone know what carry handle Micah uses in his Lima Six video? The closest I can find available online is the M+M carry handle.

Also, what do you guys think of using a Geissele Heavy CHF CL 16" barrel vs KAK's Lima barrel options?

Any word of when a 3rd batch might be up for pre-order in 2026?

Thanks!

Is there a functional reason to not have the nut sack centered (left-right) on a dedicated lower? Your adapter pushes it to the left which affects both the balance and the ease of carrying slung in front of the body.
