There certainly is a ton of mis-information on CGN. Most courtesy of a couple of trolls.
The upper is made of steel, 4350 CM IIRC, the lower is made of 7075 aluminum so it it would be impossible to weld the 2 metals together in the first place.
We DO need to weld an anchor point onto the upper in order to attach the lower. And this IS irreversible making the upper and lower dedicated units.

do you still need to buy the stock, grip, and a drop in trigger for the lower or is that all included?

I got one final question , and I sure hope it's not taken as trolling
I like to know exactly what I'm getting and exactly how much it's gonna cost for a finished product
the upper we have a price for
the "trigger group" we have a price for
how much is it gonna cost to do the "marrying"
I'm trying to support Canadian business and trying decide if this is a route I really wanna go or do I drop a couple grand more for a complete rifle that is already in the system as non restricted. OR do I just machine my own lower and submit for an FRT regardless of how long that takes. I realize most folks don't have that last option but I do.
Sorry if these questions are a pain in the ass rick but
From the other thread.
"The lower WITH the upper modifications is $750.00, a number of the small parts from a standard LPK are also required, but I suspect $50.00 will cover all of them. The DA50 comes with a proprietary hammer, which makes sense as standard mil type hammers and springs do not have enough mass to set of the 50 cal primers.
A standard buffer tube and some sort of AR stock and grip will also be required to make the unit useful, these are common and can be purchased almost everywhere AR parts can be found. From experience I would suggest something like an A2 or PRS or something fixed along those lines rather than a collapsible stock."
The buffer tube, stock and hand grip are NOT included in the cost of the lower and modification of the upper. we can supply them at additional cost or you can source them on your own. The same thing goes for the LPK parts that will be required to make the fire control functional.
The lower will need a trigger, trigger spring, safety and all the detents and springs typically found in a standard lower parts kit.

How much would you guys charge to cut the barrel down to 29'' recrown and thread , A 36'' barrel just seems too long , Most all other makers of .50 rifles seem to think 29'' is best all around length .
