Any idea when you'll have some RHF4 rails in stock? I was browsing the site and found those and I really want one in 11.5".

Is this all variants of the latest batch of ABC/R’s or just the center position version?

All centered in the last batch. This incoming has both forward and rearward biased, with both serrated and dimpled surface.

Thanks Duffy. If I follow, only the centered bias of the last batch has the changed finish? Any forward/rear bias ABC/R's out in the wild will have the typical Nitride finish?

We only did it for that one run. Bead blasted will probably be done in future runs to give an already grippy surface even more tranction, but the dark grey color that goes away with a light coat of oil came from the black oxide finish on top of black nitride (it's twice coated), because of some blotches that wouldn't go away from black nitride.

I like my duck parts with serrations and if I ever had or a fighting chance at an NP3 FCD BCG, it would be in dimples.
Some folks are archaic like that and would rather watch the dimple gang's world burn, like me  |

SBCGs will see changes next year. Throughout FCD's existence, we were able to get maybe 300 paltry NP3 SBCGs sourced, we're over that ridiculousness where we had to rely on a third party to get things done for us.

Cost and logistics, I don't think what it brings to the table justifies the high cost and twisted logistics.
We might be able to get them NP3 coated, it means setting aside a large chunk of SCGs and waiting up to 2 months for them to return from coating. Shipping hundreds of them then back costs money the customer will never see any benefit of. NP3 wasn't our choice, it was just convenient at the time. When the convenience is gone, so goes our motivation and reason for it. We were able to get 100 in 2020, and 0 in 2021. New SBCGs will be phosphated and chrome lined per TDP, we're looking at another option as well that doesn't involve tons of shipping and long lead time. I think folks will agree with us this is a good option. Nothing fancy or new, just proven to work reliably. |

We'll do both the 1/2x28 and M13.5x1 LH 6315KM at the same time. No ETA yet, shops are busy and short on help, it's been like that since Potato Chief took office.
We support our dealers, we don't run sales, and ship them in demand products before we sell them ourselves. Do unto others, this is what we expect of other manufacturers too

We always suggest buying from our dealers, they're good and honest hard working folks deserving of your support. Your purchase from our dealers benefits more fellow Americans than buying direct from us. On top of that, our dealers usually sell at MAP (5% off MSRP), and they run sales that provide further discount.
ar15discounts.com is a great outfit

Was hoping to grab a Geissele Government charging handle this Black Friday weekend but those never materialized. Happened across ACFs in stock at Esstac and grabbed one of those instead.
Very curious to see how they compare to other charging handles I’ve used. The design approach seems to beef things up in all the right ways. Only potential downside I see is the gas deflection fence might require modification to work with MBUS Pro LRs as they overhang the receiver a tad. A few minutes with some fine sandpaper should do the trick I’d imagine. |

We tested the MBUS in development and it cleared the fence. Unless MBUS pro extends beyond the upper receiver (rearward), the taller than upper receiver fence of the ACF will clear it. The only rear BUIS that didn't clear was the Troy rear with its huge protective ears, we relieved the fence to accommodate it, the production ACF clears the Troy rear sight as well

Standard Pro doesn’t overhang to the best of my knowledge, just the LR and only by a hair.
 Honestly never would’ve noticed if it hadn’t gouged a SCH.

The latch pins have it pivot in a manner that places a lot of stress on the handle body/force is directed laterally, wasting effort and creating unnecessary drag. It's not as easy to manipulate quickly as I'd like, and I'm not super picky about charging handles. |
