Nope.
Couple/few months out.  
We had billet receivers at the SHOT Show, but production will be forged.  We're still a few weeks out on the tooling being done, forgings being run then machined, anodized, etc...

Ok, I'll have to wait then, lol.

Do the lowers have steel reinforcement where the magazine locking lugs contact? That seemed to be an issue with the Sig 556R.

He is talking about the area's where the AK magazine locks into the lower.  The front lip of the receiver (if its aluminum) tends to tear up fast from the steel magazines.

That is correct, the early Sig 556R had am issue with that and had to be retrofitted with a steel insert.

Shouldn't be an issue...we're using a steel cross pin there rather than anything in the aluminum magwell itself.
