Y'all should add a receiver extension,spring and buffer kit to your webstore so it would be easy to purchase with the lower.

Working on that now!

We have the extensions, and we are testing a few different buffers. I have Odins, and Tromix  already.

Dan also spun up a custom spring, but I need to do more testing first.


I would like to get to a point where it's everything for the entire lower as a "Short Block" kit.  

If we could ever get some lowers to come out of the shop that would be nice as well.... SLLOOOWWW!!!

Finally ordered an IGM7 from y'all. Any rough estimate on how long the backorder wait is?

I went ahead and bought a kit from LimaSix and ordered their buffer kit to go with the lower.

Now I need to decide which trigger to put in it.

Between 8 and 16 weeks.  (My guess is 12)

We have a new shop quoting it out, and I think it's going to be good all around. I suppose you will be waiting on the L6 parts anyhow.


My goal is to have backlog cleared and lowers as a stocked item sometime in November if we can pull it off.

They will yes, we made a material switch, so the catches are even further behind than the lowers. I want to send the lower now so people can use it with the standard catch while they wait.

We will be sending the catches to customers free of charge of course at a later date.

All Standard LPK works.

Received my lower today.  

Everything looks good, fit and function, as for the upper and LPK is 100%.  Finish is good. Has a few of those 'swirl' marks.  I am not concerned with those.

The only 'issue' is, my cloth nutsacks will not fit. Too tight. I'll look into taking some material off the sack later. I have some Cloak Industries 100rd plastic nutsacks. Those fit perfect.

Looking good and a ARF serial number to boot 👍🏼

What brand are the cloth nutsacks?
8/24/2026 7:48:45 PM EDT
[Last Edit: TZLVredmist][Edited] [#21]
Might just need to give it one good shove to seat it in the plastic at the corners. That looks like possibly a Mil-Spec (Manufacturer?) Sack?


Just checked a whole bunch on the bench with some tribe tactical, and those gross green plastic boxes and all good.

Also we are having some issues with our FFL Plugin, so I can't download most of the FFLs. The company that makes it is working on it now, so shipping may be delayed on orders till I get access back. Hopefully tomorrow morning I can start shipping them again!


Ryan

ETA:

I would look at this area first, I doubt it's the dovetail, it's most likely the plastic radius on the sack that is just kissing the lower.

This looks to be the problem area.  My first Hydra adapters had the same issue and only with some USGI nutsacks.

I found that you can bend the sheet metal locking tab out at the U-shaped bend and it will latch in

Can you look down in the drop link chute and see how close it is to latching?

A quote from @TonyRumore


"The USGI ones are not all the same either.  There are pretty big tolerance variations among them.
It will be interesting to see how all the different boxes fit on the new Inoculum lower."

Tony


I probably need to figure out how to get my hands on one of these large USGI nutsacks (Hehe) just so we can understand the variation more. I have the UCP USGI versions and they all fit, but I imagine there are plenty of vendors who made them.

I will check when home this afternoon on fitment and how far it'll attach.

I do not see any maker markings on these sacks.

I've used these sacks for my RPD.  So I didn't purchase them specifically for this project.

Just wanted to give TZLVredmist and his team a huge shout out for the amazing customer service.  I ran into some purchasing issues with the checkout plugin and they spent a considerable amount of time finding a way around the issue.

Okay. After looking at it more, the cloth sack is pretty close to fitting. But not by hand.

I gave it a few light to medium taps with a gun-smithing mallet, and it did seat.

However its not coming off by hand. Requires the mallet.

Either way. I hope this is informative to someone down the line. I think as far as what I have on hand, I'll stick with the box for now.

It's not hitting the trigger guard and binding is it? Almost looks like the plastic has warped.

Glad to see these landing for folks.

A note on the "Mil-Spec" nut sacks.

@tommyidone Got his lower and all 10 of his Mil-Spec sacks don't fit and he has confirmed that it's indeed the edge of the sacks contacting the trigger guard portion before getting a chance to fully seat in the dovetail.

All the rest are good (Plastics, Cloak import, Tribe Tactical Etc.)

I swapped out a tribe for the one that didn't fit earlier in the thread so I have hands on. I will retrieve the group of Mil-Spec sacks that I have (That all fit) and perhaps we can figure out a vendor code or something that differentiates them.


Most likely on the next run we will rebate the trigger guard bump so the sacks fit across the stack better.


Sorry about that all!
