Magpul Machined Lower Receiver

[Ix]

I like... anybody heard anything about those?

Found them on Magpul "gallery", promising pics but not much info...
The solid trigger guard is a nice touch, same profile as their Enhanced Trigger Guard. There is also some heavy checkering on the front of the magwell.

It sure looks sweet with MIAD and CTR...

I'd get one if they were available. They look pretty sweet. I guess they're still in the raw unless that is the finish.

Nice looking lower......I question the finish too....bling bling?

 

[mdbuckle]

I'd love to have one!

 

[platnumbob]

i hope they make it in a different finish...not really a good look for an AR in my opinion.

Black or Dark Earth I would be all over them. That is if they make it here.

Those look like "freshly cut" lowers, there is also some sketches of anodized finished lower on their site...
But seriously nobody knows anything about them?

I doubt that finish is complete. It looks like raw aluminum.

Either way, a spray gun and some gunkote and yer done! Looks slick. I have lots of magpul accessories on my AR, and they are awesome!

I've been digging the net for more info on those, somewhere in ARF I read "...3 months..." from a magpul employee (post dated from jan) that is pretty close from now.
Lets just hope they make it up here! Wolverine?

In the mean time have a look at those close-up (still before anodizing).

the class? um...restricted.

again...offtopic

 

[canucklehead]

what leads you believe that? it's not an ar variant and it'll have a semi auto reciever

Dude - you are thinking 'Masada'. This is an AR15 lower.

Hence, RESTRICTED!

 

[markl]

doh!
yeah, i was thinkin masada...

Im thinking that there would be a pretty good market for these lowers. Too bad we wont be able to get the matching stocks

 

[platnumbob]

why cant we match it with a magpul stock? you can put a CTR or a m93 on it cant you? or are you referring to the UBR issue?

Yeah thats really too bad, I don't get the USDS reasoning on this; are not the other brands stock falling in the same class for export permits? How come we can get some of those? Because they are not as nice?

was not the CTR in the same wagon as the UBR?

 

[Ix]

Anybody have an update on those?
I was also wondering if that US export law on collapsible stocks applies if the said stock is part of a complete lower? That might be the way to get UBR up here.

The XCR's are coming in with fixed stocks. It goes for everything.
