I'd suggest assembling these and test firing a few hundred rounds before investing more money in them.

Sinistral, do you think a Geiselle F Cancer trigger will work in these?  Fatalwishes left one in the safe, so I was going to put it in his son's rifle for Christmas.  If not, I have a cartridge trigger sample gave me I can move over.

Crazy.  What's funny,  is people would freak out if they knew the deals they were making to buy anything over 20. I was the last buyer on the sale. Had 40 on order. But put me on hold for 5 min to do hard count. Only had 18 left.

If they had let us make those deals on Black Friday in the store there wouldn't have been anything left for you guys.

I'm grateful to Trinity for blowing them out, Classic for two uppers, Stag for a near half-price left-handed .22" LR adapter, ARFCOM for letting me post all this, and you fellas for finding all these deals.

Let's see - who else.  Cav Arms for making them in the 1st place, GWACS for warranting them, Sinstral and others giving us great tips & tricks, my 3rd grade teacher...

Picked up my 22 lowers from the FFL today.

Looking for 20 sets of take down pins. I emailed McMaster about a 250 count price on the correct sizes.  If they come through I'll have 220 extra sets of take down pins available

Glad I'm not the only one treating these as a blank canvas. I'm going understated, mostly because I'm no artist.

Oh, that's just sample's stocking.  I'm giving 4-6 lowers to family/friends for Christmas for sure, and I'll probably hand a few out @ church tomorrow.  Will probably take one to the show tomorrow if someone needs one for a kid.

I don't know how many I have exactly @ the moment, but was given 9  for the wedding, and already had the cracked Clarissa & an ARFCOM Mk 1 from Motown_Steve.  Bought 5x for $20, then bought 20x for $5 on Black Friday.  Was given SD 0001 by Trinity Defense for helping them get these off their books.

I've given 13 away already, have 3 cracked ones (2 magwells, 1 buffer tube), one I cut down for a pistol, and have 4 in various stages of construction waiting on bits from Stag.  We'll see how many are left after the New Year.  The little buggers are like Mosins.

Sweet!  Just made it!

Gave away 2 lowers to dealer friends of mine @ the show, but Motown_Steve gave me his other ARFCOM Mk 1 when we got back to his place, so I'm not entirely successful @ getting rid of these.  Have a friend of a friend who has orangutan arms who is a candidate for this one.

I felt that my trigger was tight sliding into the lower compared to my Aero lower.

Is this typical?

I hope I did the “@“ part correct!?

Anyone familiar with these Glock magazine compatible uppers? Can I just get a Colt compatible bolt carrier and run a Colt Mag block? Or is the headspace going to be incorrect?

Yes, you can run straight Colt compatible parts, but there's a Glock mag block out for Glock cut bolts now.

The Glock mag block costs more than a Glock lower.

I gave 1 of my 2 to a good friend of mine who reloads all our pistol (45/38/357) Ammo.
He was also my partner at work corn 10+yrs.
It just so happens he doesn’t have an AR of his own......both his sons do.

I know some bolts are hybrid and can run colt or glock mags. I'd wait till you got it in and then take pics/ask in the pistol variant forum.

I might get another one of those hybrid polymer/steel uppers to make a dummy gun for Trinity as a stock mule for Feinstein stocks.  It's not any lighter, but they're like $40.  Chop a cheap bbl (particularly if the crown's shot out) and Bob's yer uncle.

No it's not typical, but you can just sand and file material off the contact points at the sides to improve function

I'll probably buy pins for some of the nicer ones I got, but it would be cool to build the ugly ones up extra cheap.

USPS stopped by today. Got my 9mm upper, I was expecting some cheap stuff because $215 is well, cheap. Turns out, the seller was none other than JSE Surplus and it's the same upper they sell for $495. Super fast shipping too; wish I could say the same for Stag arms though because I'm still waiting on my LPKs. I found a cheap Glock mag block, haven't ordered yet.

Top one is 9mm, bottom is 7.62x39 and assembled with spare parts which is why there's no dust cover. I only got three, but the third one had a barrel custom ordered in 6x45 and should take 10 weeks to arrive.

Not too thrilled with the old school quad rail, but at least the barrel is a decent brand.

$215 for a 9x19mm upper?    Where did you find a cheap Glock mag block?  The one where you have to cut the mag for the mag release?

Torkmag? Or torxmag? I found it for $60, left the tab open on my work PC.
