Not really. We've evaluated the first lower, found a couple of minor things to change, and are now working on the CAM so we can machine the next iteration of it. We're also working on the carrier. We are still waiting for tools to do the upper, and once we have them we will start work on it. Unfortunately there won't be much visual progress in the next couple of weeks.
 
So the first lower turned out great. A couple of minor issues to fix. We should have the 2nd updated lower complete soon. Then it's on to the upper.

Friday Update: We've finished evaluating the first lower and made minor changes. We also made some fixturing (pictured) to hold the lower better during machining. CAM work on the carrier is in progress, and we're hoping to start the upper next week.

Have you tried a detachable carry handle on the upper? Some of us like to shoot old school irons. Because from your renderings the spacing on of the slots on your upper don't look like they are in the correct sport for a detachable carry handle. I can lend you one if you need.
 
As much as I hate the idea of potential ban being a reason for development of this receiver but I love the creativity and ability to reuse the AR parts. It also serves another purpose, barrel length all of a sudden is a non-issue as long as the whole rifle with the stock collapsed is at least 26.001" long. The AR part-market is huge so it still could stay the lego for adults and in case of ban/reverse, you can quickly build yourself a great AR again.
 
I think a lot are looking at this the wrong way, or maybe it was marketed in the wrong sense.
Personally the first thing I thought was wow...I would like one to build a SBR 300 blk just for fun, cause why not?
As in terms of a AR-15 replacement yeah that's gonna be a no from me dawg.
In terms of a new on the market neat kind of firearm HELL YES! should be fun!
Ill be in for one Just to try for fun!!

Good luck Fellas and keep up the good work

Couldn't agree more.
 
Havent been this excited for a new firearms since bcl first announced the coming of the 102. Lego with a straight pull bolt gun, short barrels and literally no limit to the configurations. I predict massive sales regardless of the status of the ar.

A Modern Sporter receiver set is $1085.... why would you think this one could/would be $500 or less?

Uuuhhh. Because this isnt modern sporter reciever set...lol. Also because i believe further back in the thread they said the price would be on par with a mid range billet reciever set...am i missing something that would cause this to cost more?

So what makes an ATRS MS or Mac Defense receive set $1000+? Economy of scale, R&D cost, machine time/cost, labour cost in Canada etc etc

IMHO a mid-range billet receiver set in Canada is in the $750-850 price range.

We can only guess until they come up with a price.
