It's hard to tell from the photo's but does the top of the receiver not match up with the top of a "mil-spec" handguard?

Understand that voting got us into this mess, do you really believe more voting will get us out? I await the day when the ballots will be cast in the streets, before the guillotine and the gallows; until then, nothing will truly change.
I checked with Jard, and the second shipment will, whenever it arrives, still be smaller bolt face kits, for 556/.223, .300 Blackout, etc. They will be bringing in larger faced bolt builder kits in later shipments. Longer term, they intend to bring in some interesting additional Jard projects, like a J180 lower that takes AK mags, and something in 9 mm.
I was seriously contemplating buying one of these receivers to convert my DPMS panther from a safe queen to a NR tool that I can use. Problem lies in the NR part, to be NR the barrel has to be 470mm (18.5" )or longer. The barrel on my DPMS is 406 mm (16"). So that creates a new problem. Instead of having a prohib in my safe that I can't use and have to await it's fate come April 30th 2022, I have an unregistered restricted firearm in my safe. Bein in possession of an unregistered restricted fire arm would not be a good thing should LEO com knocking at my door.
You could probably order the build kit and either send your parts to Sylvestre or have a local gunsmith do the install and handle the registration for you. The J180 has an FRT entry. The only negative is the government would know you have your restricted J180, and of course it would be a range queen. Or buy a non-restricted barrel with the same gas tube length and use your other parts in an NR build.
Enough twenty inch ARs out there.
Buy a barrel.
