Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ivan1: Who made the gen1 reciever set. I have an old set I bought a few years back that I don’t know what I’m going to do with yet. Gen 1 Noveske uppers and lowers were manufactured by CMT/Stag. I bought a stripped lower from the original run and shortly after acquired a stripped upper. Cheers |

You are correct and the lowers were only available stripped and you had to have previously purchased a complete upper. The initial run was 100 units and my serial number is in the 70s. Cheers |

While on topic, who's the OEM for their small parts/receiver extensions/buffers? I thought it was also Stag but am unsure if it's changed in recent years.

This is a minor nit pick, or just observation, but I thought the funneling of the magwell would be more generous. It's rather conservative compared to how the profile of the lower makes it seem.
HRF Concepts RCM equipped HDSI forged lower, Noveske Gen 3, Radian AX556 lower.  Edit: One thing I did notice is these current Gen 3 sets do not come with the cross marked forward assist. My receiver set did come with a Noveske marked forward assist. |

It's not one of his first runs I don't think but it's low. It was built into an SBR. No idea which forge was making Noveske lowers back then. |

Waiting on a few parts, like proper optic mount(s), which will be here this week, and I have the dust cover(s) off being lasered. Eventually i'll snag an NGAL for this build, but for now, an LA-5 will do.
Pretty happy with the build so far, I'm digging how light it compared to my MCX's. Big thanks to @jb/@tinycrumb for the help on this build. Edit: Parts List Upper

Going to get the BCM grip Cerakoted at the same time as my upper/lower/hand guard. I'll decide which one I'm going to run once I get all the parts back. |
