Nope. Not a pistol.
The first batch is already sold. Im in it.
I'm in too! Got notification that it is shipped!

We will be ordering another shipment for next year. The upper will require a lot of trial and error to perfect the system, a lot of the problem is not the upper itself but the lower and the buffer tube.
We were using the Vltor RE-1 buffer tube and it was a tiny bit longer than other mil-spec buffer tube.

It was good talking to you on the phone and thanks for the advise. Despite the warning that the Razorback upper might be finicky, I haven't found that so far. I have only fired 200-ish rounds of CCI Mini-mag ammo, but have not had too much issue. The cloth belt is tight, and I think that it caused some FTF issues, but other than three FTF (feed and fire) right at the beginning, and a couple of Fail to Fires (maybe the ammo?), it is running like a sewing machine! I didn't change out the hammer spring, but if I run into issues, I'll be sure to change it out to see if it helps.
It is a ##### to load the belts, but it keeps you from burning through all your ammo in 5 minutes.
You also have to make sure the belt feeds horizontally into the feed tray. If you let the belt hang, you will have malfunctions.Wanted one of these ever since I saw them about 10 years ago, and I have to say, I'm glad I bought it! Happy happy joy joy!

Now someone needs to make a .223 cloth belt fed AR upper, I'd be all over that.
Would you be all over it if it was limited to 5? Because it would be.

Sorry, .223 was the wrong calibre to suggest, something in 30cal(308win or 7.62x39 or something that could utilize modified pre 1945 cloth belts) that way it would be exempt from capacity limits.

Good to hear that you are happy with the upper. You got your package already? That was quick.
I think we all need one of this.
