Been waiting on this for something like two years. Looks like it is finally coming down the pipeline. What do you guys think? EDIT: For reference, here is my SBR'd AXTS AX556 lower (attached to a Noveske upper). For those not in the know, AXTS makes what many believe is one of the nicest lowers in the industry. Mil-spec forged lowers are reliable, strong, light and battle proven but if you happen to already own a few of those and want ambidextrous bleeding-edge tech, this is the lower for you. The only real penalties I see are weight and parts commonality.    |

Looks like M-Lok is in the playbook. I like how they have been very careful not to show the left side of the upper. :) |

This stuff looks sweet. ETA: $430 for that lower is a bit steep. |

I'll be damned if that doesnt look GOOD though. Love how they incorporated the mounting bolts vertically, just makes sense and looks more streamlined |
|
Dayyyyyyummmmn. If I could afford it right now id be all over one of these. Pretty much the Maserati of AR-15's |

I'm surprised no one has mentioned their new 45/90 ambi safety.

I actually started with AXTS, Mega and a Gen 2 Noveske lowers (we'll... after the prerequisite gun show DPMS Oracle). Then I got into the clone game. It gave me a great appreciation for the standard forged lowers. Milspec556 is right though... It's nice to have a bleeding edge piece in the collection. To be dead honest, I'm a little let down by what I have seen so far in regards to the AXTS upper. The lower was Form Follows Function with a little bit of magwell bling. This thing looks like like a sculpture that just happens to shoot 5.56 ammunition. I really need to see the completed gun (on Dec 25th) before deciding whether I am sold on it.

I'll be that guy. I think it looks good style wise, but I would never own one. Too flashy. Give me a plain jane A2 or flat top upper and lower I won't feel bad about getting dirty. The difference is a lot of ammo, toys, or another gun. I think it would look alot less flashy in black. That is how i would take one... if I was ever in the market to spend upwards of $1000 just for the Rail, upper and lower receivers |

The Day has come to deliver the most Dynamic Rifle on the market. It's been a heck of a ride getting to this point. Now go grab your optic and get the gun that doesn't require you to buy upgrades for it.

Agreed. I'd like some more specs on the barrel and BCG, but so far that looks like one of the very few complete rifles I'd actually buy. Quoted:
Agreed. I'd like some more specs on the barrel and BCG, but so far that looks like one of the very few complete rifles I'd actually buy. Our precision match grade barrels start out as a Shilen 416R blank with a 1 in 8 twist and are turned to our custom profile with a length of 14.5". They feature a chamber in in .223 Wylde as well as a hand polished crown and are fitted with the highest quality barrel extensions with polished feed ramps. We are experiencing sub .5" MOA with our barrels with 55, 62, and 77 grain ammunition.
The MI-T556’s bolt carrier is manufactured from case hardened 8620 steel with properly staked 4130 steel gas key. The accompanying bolt is case hardened 9310 steel, shot peened, HPT and MPI tested, and finished in a self-lubricating polished black nitride. Bolt lugs are CNC ground following heat treatment to insure the greatest accuracy possible. http://axtsweapons.com/MI-T556-Carbine They sound pretty hi-speed. I would prefer a 158 carpenter steel bolt though... simply from a "tried and true" standpoint. |

Quoted: Side note PFran...I'm about to SBR my lower as well and was curious where on the lower you had it engraved? Or did you go the collegeboy route and engrave the barrel? I did it on the angled flat on top of the magwell where it meets the upper. Hope that makes sense.

I misspoke. The engraving is on the left side flat under the make/model/caliber.
