Can't recall seeing these posted or if it's a dupe. They look pretty nice.

looks like they are using surplus parts so they are probably dependent on the same parts kits that everyone else is selling. kind of like how century had that run on retro rifles.

Wonder if they made their own A1 lowers

I'm wondering if the entire production fell through because of Sandy Hook ? Website shows no rifles and the advert is from 5 months ago.

Says the lowers would made by IO.

I think the cover of the last shotgun news announced they were moving from NC to FL.

Its probably going to be an A2 lower. Everything else I've seen that they made was kinda meh, I doubt they'll go over the top now.

The pic at the link shows an A1 spec pivot pin area. Too dark for me to see if it's reinforced at the receiver ring.

I've been looking for these since they were first announced. Still no joy but I'm ready to pounce. A2 lower is no big deal as I'll use that for other awesomeness. The core components are what I'm after. Got the NDS lowers on standby.

Check it with the Shotgun news cover I was referencing. It looks like the regular receiver they have on the cover, pivot pin area and all.

The M16A1 parts kits that IO was selling through Royal Tiger Imports (same company) several months back did not look too good. Though they were advertised as "like-new," they were average to good condition, at best. I'd be wary of IO offerings.

I.O. Inc is where I was told to return my broken A1 parts kit from royal tiger.

IO is a no-go, they are less than honest
and I'll not spend one red cent on anything
they produce.

My "like new" A1 parts kits were all the
proof that I need regarding their integrity.

My thoughts exactly. I'll not order from Royal Tiger or I.O. ever again.
