Billet AR180B lower range report.

I think the progress you've made is fantastic, and I think this is likely loaded with sarcasm, but the above is giving an awful lot of credit for simply making an aluminum reciever for a pre-existing gun. So far, it's a neat garage project, but a long way from anything revolutionary. I do wish you luck in your ventures, but can't help but cough up my drink at the tone of a few of the posts here. Prove me wrong I say, we need more homegrown manufacturers.

Dude, Armedsask has:

1. Outlined what he wanted to.

2. Demonstrated it.

In this country, that is revolutionary.

Now I know that you are one of the relatively affluent and connected members of this forum. Maybe, instead of snorting your latte suisse out your nose at some of the comments, you could give a guy a leg up and help him out.

i dont think its a stretch at all to want to mount/frame it. Machine work, especially hand machined work.. it takes a lot of planning, thought, and precise working. I would be proud as hell myself, having built my first reciever, and my thoughts would probably be "its a great first try, but needs much improvment. I am proud of it and want to display it" *shrug*

Hey, sorry I missed this post earlier. I'm way ahead of you on the bullpup lower. Been tinkering with a design off and on for a year now. It would be non-restricted as long as the rifle can't discharge ammunition with out the part that makes it bullpup.

I've actually been working a design that uses the same basic "upper receiver" section to create either a standard configuration, a bullpup. Each version can be had as semi-auto or a pump action. You can't flip back and forth from the user end but the three configurations share many common parts and only the final stages of machining make them different. This would cut down on manufacturing costs as they all start off the same.

Why a pump action? Because then you can have a pump action bullpup with 30 round mags. As you built the pump action version first, all the other rifles get to use the 30 round mags. And then I'm rich.

Ah, A man who thinks through all the angles before making his first step! I'm staying tuned for more!
