Gaging interest in re-introducing the NR lower conversion for the DA50 uppers

It's NOT just the custom lower... It's modifying the upper so that it can never go on a restricted AR15 lower again... And thereby achieving Non-Restricted status for your DA50 upper ATRS lower rifle...

Worth every penny IMHO...

Does this mean that the modified upper lower set is now a NR platform independent of the da50?

I hear ya.
However the new machine could be dedicated to cranking out sporters into our freedom loving, yearlong waiting hands :)

They were very specific that the machine they were looking at couldn’t be used for MS production. It was a smaller one for smaller projects. They build lots of other stuff there and that’s probably suffering due to MS production hogging all the milling machine time. The cost of another machine to help with MS production is huge.
 
I’m assuming you have an MS.
Maybe someone can explain how an extra person and machine making .50 cal lowers is not capable of making MS lowers.

It’s totally up to atrs of course!
Would just be appreciated by the hundreds waiting if any extra horsepower is put on the MS as the wait is very long.

Yes I do have one already. I got in early on the first run. But I do know where you’re coming from with wanting yours. I’ve been waiting for a rifle for a year now that was suppose to be done last summer and still hasn’t started production. What they said is the machine they were looking at wasn’t capable of completing all the steps required for MS pieces. It was short either one or two axis. So it would mean having to manually having reposition each piece for every step. And I don’t think they ever mentioned hiring another individual to run it. They would just run pieces while the other machines were building MS. They are a small shop doing the best they can and had the opportunity to make themselves a bit bigger with another machine and was looking at a way to pay for it. Your MS will come. And when it does you’ll love it.
 
An overdue update.
The CNC mill we were looking at did not pan out, so the hunt continues for another machine. At this point we have decided NOT to push forward with the NR lowers for the DA50 uppers as given what we currently have for machines as it would impact Modern Sporter production.
The mill we lost out on was not capable of complex tasks like are required in the manufacture of Sporters which is why we even entertained the idea.

So to be clear we are not at this time planning to run another production run of our 50 cal lowers. Sorry guys we can only do so much at 1 time.
