    So we have a few deposits so far. 6 in fact as of today.
    IF we are going to move forward with this there simply has to be enough numbers to warrant the cost of making fixtures and setting up a mill.
    IF there simply is not enough interest we will abandon this and move on to something else.

    how many deposits do you need Rick?
    I'm still on the fence but have a couple friends pondering this.
    just don't want to be stuck with a lower if canadaammo sells out of the upper and doesn't make more.
    I think a few folks are in this boat.
    It's spring..... that time of year when all the dealers start getting their bookings in and product is flowing everywhere..... so many things to spend cash on right now LOL
    for me it's putting all my cash down to be debt free by sept so taking a couple grand out for a 50 cal is on the list but want to secure that upper before putting cash down on a project lower. I'm a few weeks away from dropping 1600 on the upper so will have to wait and see if Canada ammo still has them when I'm ready to buy
    otherwise I'd be all over this lower.

    you and Canada ammo should get together and streamline this somehow, I think it would be a win win for the customers , and the business

    I also have concerns of this upper being modified to fit this lower, and then if something happens to the lower... No more are made. I would then be stuck with a 1600 dollar upper that doesnt work at all/ That being said still verrrrrry interested in making a deposit. hmm.

    Ryan seems willing to work for the common good as do I.
    IF you want to order the upper from C.A. and then put a deposit on the lower that will work.
    I don't see any issue with having C.A. ship the uppers directly to us to get the modification done while we manufacture the lowers.

    The cost JUST for the aluminum stock we will need is just over $15000.00 plus the cost to re-create the programs to turn them out, so in reality i am looking at a risk of about $40000.00 by the time we make the 1st lower.
    THIS is why I am asking for deposits with the caveat. I don't need to waste time, money and resources if there are not enough guys who want to get on board.

    IF C.A. decides not to bring in more DA50s there are alternatives such as the Ferret or Safety Harbor uppers that fit the same way. They can be exported but to date the requests have been very low, hence my not bringing any in.

    Hope that sheds some light on the dilemma

    You would be far more likely to win the 649, be hit by lightning and have the ambulance t boned on the way to the hospital all in the same 10 minutes, than to have a lower fail.
    How many AR15 lowers have ever failed? Your absolute worst case would be a hammer or trigger spring failing and seeing as these are both milspec AR15/AR10 parts I can not see how you could be concerned.

    Also once the programs are rewritten and the fixtures made, there is nothing saying we could not run more at a later date.
    That, and I do not have plans of disappearing.

    Hahah. I have to say I really appreciate the service you guys are providing, and with a great attitude. I'll be speaking with you soon about placing a deposit. Happy to support a Canadian company that cares about its fellow enthusiast.
