I don't know about that deal, but I think Gunsmoke still has them stripped for $95 each. Check their website or forum in industry forums.

Do RRA lowers still have the high shelf block at the rear of the receiver? Mine does, so if I ever wanted to by a RDIAS ($4k?!?!) I would need a new lower. Just a thought.

You won't need a new lower. The shelf can be machined down. It's a common service offered by many C2/C3s in order to accomodate RDIAS and post-sample conversions (Circuits has talked about doing this for his customers).

Yeah, but you also can't use the common Accuwedge in them, either, as I found out to my dismay last night. Woo-freaking-hoo.

What does something like that cost (with transfers and all?)

Juggernaut - you can't shorten the accuwedge at the bottom with a razor? That's what I had to do with one of my Colts.

i don't even use an accuwedge with my RRA guns - receivers are tight as hell as is.

I don't recall an exact dollar amount, but it was cheap. Get ahold of Circuits on this board. He does it and can give you an exact cost. I seem to recall that turn around was under a week.

nope-you'd have to remove the entire base of the accuwedge, according to Mr. Micrometer-and while the lower may be tight, the upper isn't always...and since I have a loose-ish upper, I can't fix it with this setup.
