Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.
Several reasons:
-Although it might not take a large sum of money to start copying the AR180B platform, it would still take a lot of time to reverse engineer it. An existing plastic receiver doesn't tell you the desired dimensions, let alone the dimensional tolerances/clearances. It also doesn't tell you the best material to use.
-There is an existing infrastructure for AR15s, not so much for AR180Bs. Many parts besides the receiver would have to be manufactured, which also add cost and time.
-There is at least 2 other companies that are already planning on releasing AR180B-ish clones.
-FWIW we still had to get an FRT issued even though our lower is essential an AR-15 clone.
Basically, if a great deal of time and money is being spent, it is better (and perhaps easier) to design and build a completely new rifle.
How about a picture of the inside of the MRC receiver

They turned out great!!! Canada Post tracking says mine is out for delivery! Can't wait to get home from work and see the base of my new build! Thanks again Motiuk!
Wow these are great. Your on my list for a new lower. Just gotta figure out what I want now. Well done!

I See Mine there! :D:D:D
Can't wait till Wed.
Got the lower parts kit, Magpul MIAD grip, carbine buffer tube/buffer, and Magpul trigger guard installed :D, purchased a Spikes upper, and 7.5" barrel arrived earlier this week... just need to source a few more things and she'll be ready for a trip to the range.
