MDI are amateurs running this thing out of their garage.
f:P
It boggles my mind that there is still a waiting list and people are ordering them. I really would love someone to chime in and tell me what the draw is to buy one of these anymore. Especially after machining operations have been missed, Pins dont fit, Anodising was removed and orderes were delayed by 8+ months.
My take on it.
If you want to plink .223 and have fun WK180
If you want a AR15 copy to build ATRS
If you want a black rifle to hunt. Forget a grendel build and build a Stag 10.
Take someone shooting - Encourage someone to get a Pal/ RPal
I wanted as close to an exact AR15 copy as I could get. I want to run it in competition, but also shoot it casually on crown land. I wanted as close to absolute parts interchangeability as I could get. I couldn't get that with anything on your list, outside of the ATRS MS. I seriously considered dumping my SLR pre-order and pre-ordering one of those. But the main determining factor was the fact that MDI had already obtained a non-restricted FRT# for the SLR. It's still up in the air for ATRS. Logic dictates that the MS will come back as NR, but we all know that sometimes logic isn't the deciding factor when dealing with the firearms lab. I have absolutely ZERO use for a thousand dollar restricted receiver set when my M&P runs awesome, and the whole build cost me that much. Couldn't justify the risk.
Even though it took a little bit of work, my SLR runs great now, and I'm happy with it. Am I thrilled that I had to #### with a thousand dollar receiver set? No. Does it still satisfy my original requirements? It does now.

if you email us I can advise your current place in queue.
we haven't received anything since the last updates, all receivers that we have are shipped or spoken for,
Newer receivers have the magwell cut properly. MDI says it was a simple change of the end mill size by 1/16 or so to go deeper into the corner. so you should be fine out of the box

Well, I mailed it to them, and guess what, THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG ADDRESS!!!!
Luckily it came back to me as undeliverable. They know it, they've confirmed that it was the address of the post office in Calgary. Still no info as to where it REALLY has to go.
Still waiting for an answer from macdef.
How irresponsible is this? Give the wrong address for someone to mail a firearm reciever?
What are the drop-in trigger packs that work with the slr? I searched on the forum but couldnt find an answer
these are some notes I made while testing a while back
elftmannn -- all fits with a widening of the SLR trigger box hammer slot. Exception - the "SE" model would also require filing of the front part of the SLR trigger box that curves in.
CMC -- tight, need to file the corners of CMC trigger box
triggertech -- seems to fit but not able to adjust set screws
my recommendation is Elftmann for the simplest install, you just have to file the SLR's trigger box hammer slot a little wider to let the hammer fly thru
