Perhaps I missed it, is there an option to adjust quantity purchased?...

ETA: Or does it even matter...

The price they are listed for only makes about 5 dollars per lower for APC after covering actual costs. So there isn't a discount for larger purchases.

No Sir, that wasn't my reason for asking. I was going to order a couple lowers and wanted to consolidate to a single purchase (and subsequent shipment) for the sending FFL. No need for them to pay for two shipments...



...if I pay the dollars for atleast (2) lowers, will that FFL send (2)? Any dollars exceeding (2) lowers and not equaling a 3rd would assumingely go to the APC. Is that correct?

Right. And I'd message Wingnut116ACW here about your order right before you do it so he is tracking.

Sent @Wingnut116ACW an IM and got an 'inbox is full' response.

Went ahead and made two orders/purchases. Just an FYI.

My bad if I overcomplicated this. Thanks for reopening the fundraiser...

If he sees two immediately consecutive orders going to the same place, I'm reasonably certain he will put them in the same box.

Didn’t know these were still available potentially be interested in another for a project and a good cause.

@Wingnut116ACW do you have the bandwidth if I reopen this?

If not, I'll handle it, but it will be a few weeks folks.

@Ben anymore of these available? I wouldn’t mind grabbing another before things change here in VA
11/21/2025 10:56:27 PM EDT

Yes, there are some available.

I think at this point you need to send a check though as our payment processing is offline.

What’s the status on if these are available in MT. I’m in the flathead.

APC lowers are not yet available here in MT for direct purchase, but I believe @Ben still has that in the works...he just keeps getting broken and/or distracted by other projects - some of which will be of interest to ya'll here soon.  (aka, I'm waiting to get a new lower or two as well...)

Ben's at SHOT show this week, so don't expect anything from him for a week or so, but Warfighter Challenge this spring is still a go for Memorial Day weekend near Melstone, MT, and we'll keep ya'll updated on other developments as they get fully on line!

Please let us know when they're available again, would happily grab a few more.

The OG maker in TN folded, thank goodness, their specs were horrible. Looking forward to seeing who makes the new ones for APC.

My first one had the pivot pin spring/detent hole so off center it couldn't catch the retention groove in the pivot pin.

My second one went together ok, but I have to beat it on/off the upper with a deadblow hammer. Tried 4 different uppers and the current one is the “easiest” one that went on.

It lives and functions fine in its current state.

There is a small dent on each side just before where the threads start.



Tried several uppers.
