Hi guys, here is a initial sample from Superior on the pictograms, they are looking for some feedback. The center fire one will be moved upwards to clear the "dot" on a production run.
Thanks! Robert P.S. Pretty cool a gun manufacturer wants input from customers before making a decision ya think???  |

I think it would look kind of neat with it red on top of the anodizing.

I agree, before they sent to anodize they wanted some feedback, they made these around .030-.050 deep so red/white paint or wax could flow into them. I will get a few anodized and post with some color. I am sure this will be an option so you could go with standard lettering or pictograms. Being a HUGE HK fan I really like the looks (even if I cant have full auto in this GOD FORSAKEN STATE!) Robert |

Looking really good Rob!!!! The Semi should be up over the circle indent like you said, but other than that, it's looking really sharp! Hey, here's a pic of some of the Superior lowers we got from you after they are all together! Everyone is very pleased!

The green on the center one is off the hook! I saw another post where the guy was melting the crayon in with a heat gun....getting ready to try one but my nine year old threw a fit when I was searching through her friggin 300 piece crayon kit...like she was ever going to use or miss "mango tango and dessert tan" Robert |

I like them, but what about possibly putting it inside a box like the ones on HKs?
Or are there legal issues with copying them outright? Good to see Superior is reacting to consumer demand (and VERY quickly I might add) Cheers  WIZZO |

That was all Otto as far as I know. He has started this heat gun + crayola craze. Im telling you, it makes it really easy. Here's his lower...
 Here he is doing Kerri's green one you liked so much  I fell victim too!  Anyone who wants to do the bullet's in these new lowers... Its so easy. A heat gun or even a hair dryer to heat the lower up enough to melt the crayon inside the stamping, and a rag to wipe off the excess. Done. These new markings on the Superior lowers will be nice. I know, I know, its just cosmetics, but still! |

Is superior thinking of making upper receivers?

Uppers are a work in progress and very close to market. I won't say a hard date.. but keep your eyes on the equipment exchange for Superior Flat-tops soon.

Looks good but it needs the boxes around them!! Also, any word on the prices of these yet? I'll definately buying one this fall if the price is reasonable.
 ETA: Is there any chance of the auto markings either be made like the MP5 auto marking (a bunch of bullets in a row) or the Semi marking with a 30 next to it or is the three on top of each other final? They really do need the boxes at least though

I like the original design Tom Sawyer Manufacturing had going with the 30 next to the bullet or even the same style that HK has on their firearms. I don't like the three bullets on top of one another, the dots, or lack of boxes around on the engravings. Another thing you might want to note is that the bullets in this design are not all the same size. Just my two cents.

How come no one likes the dots? I think that is what makes the lower stand out as a superior.

I like the dots on the lowers that are marked "Safe" and "Fire", just not on the pictogram ones.

Would it be on both sides?

 Those pictographic lowers look great! Big thanks to RB Precision and Superior for providing us these fantastic looking lowers. |

I like that Superior is both doing pictograms and is asking for market feedback.
However, as I've thought about the pictogram issue, I've never been settled on how one would depict full-auto. Obviously, you can't have a pictogram with 30 bullets, and if you have one bullet and the number 30, then what about 20-round magazines? If you show only three bullets for full-auto, it seems to me it would indicate a three-round burst. There's got to be some other clever way to depict full-auto with a pictogram. John |

I suppose we could always do an EMPTY box for auto..... I must admit I don't really ge why HK puts the boxes around theirs... Just because someone else does it that way does not mean its the only way. We want your feedback... but Room is limited. The 3 bullets is a compromise between the G3 photos I have seen and space available before the forging contour starts dropping rapidly. The biggest thing to me is that pictograms lowers are " multi lingual" and ready for export to a foreign land.

four bullets in a row? the way HK does it is like 6 bullets in a row. i like the HK416 auto marking with the bullet and the 30 next to it though... Mr. Williams, is there any word on the price or if there's going to be boxes around the bullets? |

No. 1. lose the dots, then put the bullets in boxes like HK does. So far I like their design better than anything I have seen and apparently I am not alone. This is a picture stollen from LarryG36 and the pictograms were done by Tom Sawyer Mfg. I only mention that because I do not want to be accused of using without giving credit where credit is due.

The open ended box with just a single bullet shows full automatic to me, whereas a closed box shows semiautomatic fire.
I would like the boxes and no dots, but either way I'm apt to getting at least one. yakrat101 I also liked the Roman idea though.

Ok here is my thought.
Have to lose the dots. The boxes have been done so no dupes. The X through the bullet for safe is cool. Then for Semi auto have two bullets slightly spaced in a row. For full auto have five or more nose to tail in a row. |

Ok from the feedback Superior has come up with the following.
 The cost is an additional $20.00 so a stripped lower is $110.00 two or more $105.00 each. I expect these will be available for delivery in three weeks. Of course we do have the standard with dots and wording in stock. Thank you Robert |
