    This will not be a Stoner gas system, the SBI upper will have to use true direct impingement. The DI for the Lynx upper will be against a BCG running along the 180 recoil system, which means there is no stoner pseudo piston pushing against a buffer tube spring. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

    Has SBI had a chance to run garbage com bloc 7.62x39 mm corrosive ammo with the new DI BCG? It would probably give a nice accelerated view of residue deposit, and help with cleaning instruction development.

    We haven't machined the BCG yet. The upper will be available before the BCG.

    Fair enough. When it's ready, I still suggest Corrosive Com-bloc would be a great torture test of the DI system :-)

    Any chance of removing the pop tart slot on the left side of the receiver? As I’ve had malfunctions on other 180s from sand getting in through there. A folding charging handle that doesn’t get caught on gear would be nice too.

    Thanks, that's why I was suggesting a Sig 556 style split rubber gasket, to prevent grit of any kind sliding in and mucking up the works. It can a premium add on at a later date, maybe in concert with a different, perhaps folding charging handle and compatible BCG if a a blade profile instead of a round bolt handle connector is required to cleanly move through the gasket. Not for everyone, but those doing serious bush brushing may want to buy it as an add-on.

    What's the possibility of a right hand charging version? Or maybe ambidextrous? A lefty can definitely make a left hand charging handle work, but would this slow reloads down in competition?

    It's certainly a possibility. The first version available will have the left hand charging handle. But it's a trivial change to do it on the other side.
