I've been thinking about picking up an APEX kit while I still can, but there is one small problem...

... it doesn't have the hardware for a carry handle. I've searched the internet up and down, with absolutely no luck.

Is there some source I'm overlooking, or am I SOL?

Update: Got one off of Gunbroker.

I got a reproduction for a site called Evike. They said it was for and airsoft gun but I think its going to fit. A magnet stuck to it I think it was 30 bucks. I tried to post a picture but dont know how.

Sounds like a good idea. Please let me know how it works.

I also just ordered the kit, so at least I've got that out of the way.

It's going to work I got my receiver today . The only difference  I see is the top of the corner without the handle is angled. I don't know if the originalsl are like that or not . It has a parkerized finish it does not match the kit from Apex. Not sure about the pin for the handle  the one it has is hollow and easily pushes out.

Sounds good. Since I plan on having everything Cerakoted, the finish shouldn't be an issue.

From what I'm hearing now, the only issue is getting past the stigma of an airsoft part.

The Pre-Orders continue to come in, though they remain inadequate to meet the tooling costs associated with a minimum run of 100 units at the price quoted. As there's no reason to terminate this endeavor, the Pre-Order option will remain open. When a 100 units are reached, we'll announce it and move forward with the production.

Word-of-mouth remains the most efficient means of expediting this....

Thanks to all who've contributed to this opportunity.

How’s your project coming along?

Mine is still a pile of parts and a torched receiver.
