They're 3D printed.  And two parts, as I suspected, so we'll have to epoxy them together.  jaqufrost, still waiting on the jigs.  You still want the tan one, or do you want to mix & match?

I'm not too picky

And nao - Pistol Lyndon:

I'm going to try just modifying the grip on one of these, instead of the jig itself.  The other jig will go to jaqufrost.

Here's the question - some have already opined on it in the other thread - if we don't modify the jig, when it is disconnected from the upper, is the jig still a firearm?

Very nice!

Whittling done w/ Fatalwishes' Gerber and my mini-KaBar.

No modification to the trigger jig required.

Gluing, however, is required, as we must get from this:

So - what glue?  I'm not sure finest Chinese People's Army Factory #87 super glue is going to hold it, particularly under recoil.  I'm tempted to throw some self-tapping sheet metal screws in there on the sides.

Gorilla?  2-part epoxy?  Or melt the parts together w/ acetone?

The amusing bit is we don't have to glue the buffer tube in - it's held in place w/ spring pressure against a simple castle nut.  You don't even need the lock plate.

ETA:  jaqufrost, will have to ship your stuff shortly, got wrapped up in an oil change, then wandered around Bass Pro and then this new shooting range that just opened.

Why not pin it with roll pins?

That would make it look nice and professional.  I'll let you do that.

The last time I tried to install a roll pin I had to take the lower to GWACS and pay for the warranty.  

I may bend a trigger guard for it as well.

That would be wise.  I'm thinking of getting a grip of shame to do a single shot .22" with.

Interesting...

Tagging

Ordered.  Thanks @buckmeister

Amazing ingenuity!

I had been wondering what a Hera Stock would look like on a AR57 upper. Want to go that way myself. Call it the "euro trash"

Thanks for the compliment.

Just got an HK USC lower in.  It's very curiously AR like.  Might have to buy a magazine next.

ETA:  A stock AR trigger jig looks like it will fit in the USC lower magwell, so there's likely a way around expensive HK type fire control bits.  But it looks like the only mag available for the USC is the 10 round (single stack?) .45" ACP.  Looks like I got the wrong lower.  Well, looking @ prices, maybe not.  Maybe this is a somewhat easy way to add a pistol caliber magwell to the Lyndon - but it would still require something of a trigger jig (maybe a cheap plastic one) and a new type of Feinstein stock.

Double stack Glock mags won't fit in the USC magwell.  S&W 59 mags do, however.  Don't know they can feed from that angle.  Maybe STEN mags?

ETA:  Think I'm barking up the wrong tree w/ the USC lower, but the USC lower, next to a $18 EP Armory 80% plastic lower, gave me an idea.  I can chop off a magwell from an EP Armory lower easier than I can mill one out.

I can cast a magwell even more cheaply - and I can sell magwells.  I think the long term route for the Feinstein Project is as follows:

1 - thumbhole stock of bricks for less than the Hera Arms CQB.
2 - a chassis for an existing trigger jig - not the current animal, as the California boys who designed it didn't leave room for a standard magwell.  Preferably a cheap plastic jig that also ships with triggers, like the Ruger or LaRue.  The Strike Industries, much as I despise their font, might work here.
3 - production of inexpensive plastic magwells in the Freedom-15 mold, for sale.  Alternatively, chop up an EP Armory lower.

When I get the new FCS module in, I'll plunk that into the pistol Lyndon and test it.  The USC lower is intriguing, b/c it's cheap, and it would be fun to marry one up to an AR-45 upper.  But unless you really futz w/ the magwell, you've only got a 10 round mag, and it would probably best work w/ an Olympic .45" ACP upper, as the ejector would be in the upper.

Sexy.  We'd have to drill the rear takedown pin hole though.
