Saw this on a different forum.

Interesting concept on 80% AR receivers. Drill some holes and bolt together. Currently, it is in the approval (or not) process with ATF.

I will be watching this with enthusiasm and will most definitely pick one up if approved.

I don't know how well finished the CF is, but I would like to see this developed further with Aluminum plates or maybe even Titanium. I bet that Titanium would be $$ though.

What says the Waguns crowd?

I was wondering how long it was going to take to see that on here.
I think it's neat but it needs to be affordable.

Interesting concept...
No jig needed, but $199 is pretty pricey. They claim that the price makes up for the time spent milling a traditional 80% lower,
but I can get a standard 80% lower done in less than an hour as well.
I don't really like the look of em and looks like they weren't able to figure out how to apply a bolt catch to the design and the grip doesn't look comfortable.
I think I'll pass on this one.

The price is a little high, granted. But for some people that may not be mechanically competent/skilled enough to do a conventional 80% lower this may be just the ticket.

Is it weird that it appeals to me because they use 1911 Magpul Grip Panels?

I was discussing it with a coworker and he felt the price was cheap for a do it yourself kit, then I told them how much and 80% cost. The cost is relative to how much you have to do I think and how much red tape you have to go through. Looks like carbon fiber, I would be curious if they could do different colors. The fiber pattern looks sweet though. CST is a little high yes, but thats going to depend on what the next few years are going to look like. After an all out ban on AR’s $199 to play might seem cheap.
