    Or you can sell the take off parts for a few bucks to someone like you just described. That way he can be the bad parent instead of you

    That's some funny (true!) sh!t right there. Especially the "I might need that someday"

    550 ++ for the parts kit . Five or six hundred for the upper and lower. ++ don’t forget the ++ . Now you need everything else. And put it together.

    Ya its getting up there but it does come with a bolt. Subtract that from a typical build and it's more reasonable. Not many DIY semi options currently so I'll do it.

    I’m curious about the gas length. I can understand and appreciate going with as many AR parts as feasible IOT keep development costs down as well allowing others to recycle parts they may already have. But then you go with a carbine gas port, something that simply doesn’t exist in non restricted length. Rifle length should have been the first option developed IMO. Regardless, good job.
    That was one of my suggestions when they first announced the rifles. Glad to see they're finally getting with the program.

    Will Wolverine or Xtreme be using the WX-MCR kits to produce a complete Gucci variant of the firearm, with high quality IBI barrels, a premium trigger, and nice (probably Magpul) furniture?

    On the Breakfast Club, they said there are three third parties that are working on rifle and/or mid length gas systems, for use with barrels with said length gas ports; they said they would let said parties make the announcement on their own, as they did not want to have the parties scooped on the news like they were with the WX-MCR :P . They also showcased the new folding stock from Spectre and the new pineapple-style charging handle from Xtreme.



    Will the Xtreme WX-MCR receiver kits, Pineapple charging handle and Picatinny stock adapter, and the Spectre folding stock be available through the Wolverine web site, or will people need to go to said manufacturers sites to purchase each?
