    Look over on the thread on the competitor's sub forum for pictures. The anodizing colour on the upper and lower receiver of some MRA sets are not matching.

    the LPC receiver must be slightly wider than an AR?
    It is the lower knuckle of the hinge that makes contact. At first I thought it was a "go" - but to fold, the unit had to be rotated clockwise slightly.

    We're also finishing up a 3d printable stock for the Light Practical Carbine that can be installed and removed without tools. This will be freely downloadable for people to print themselves. Watch out for it next week.

    We should have some more receiver sets ready to go quite soon. They are being vapor blasted + anodized now. Don't worry, the upper and lower colors will match :P
    I'm guess that's 22h with a 0.4mm nozzle? lol

    How close is it to working? Would spacing it out 1/16-1/8" get enough clearance?
    Just wondering if we could put 1-2 buffer tube 'plates' between the adapter and receiver, like spacers?
    They'd have to be modified slightly to get rid of that little key tab (and probably cut off the lower tab as well to keep from interfering during takedown), but they would have the right ID.

    When I get a chance I'll experiment.

    Yup. It's 4 individual parts, each printed at a different density. Was hoping to release the final version tonight, but my design computer killed it's video card... So might be a few days until it's finished.

    My anodizing is two different colours. Purely cosmetic but looks terrible.

    Perfect, That gives me time to print the vice blocks. Receiver Set is looking great BTW!

    My set is fine.

    These arguments are identical to the MDI and ATRS bellyaching.

    I'd have to think that soaking the MRA sets in oil would make them uniform. From the pics I've seen it looks like they show up dry?
