I completed my rifle and took it to a local gunsmith to get it pin and welded. There's a small protrusion inside the barrel, I'm assuming it's the pin. I'm going to call him tomorrow and see what he can do, but more than likely the barrel will need to be replaced.
Hey Mike, any chance we'll see 12.7" barrels up for sale by themselves?  I highly doubt the gunsmith will fork up $700 for a commando upper just for the barrel. |

I wonder what the hold up is with gray uppers? Must be a major snafu in the supply chain of the receivers or they are waiting on a1 ejection port doors since they have become like hens teeth. (Its the one part I am missing) It's PSA's and Mike's business and they can run it the way they want but it would be nice to know what is going on although it's none of our business, or is it? If it is going to be 1,2, or 6 more months let us know. I am getting tired of checking 10 times a day hoping for stripped gray uppers to drop. I sympathize about supply problems but don't leave us hanging.

They are focused on selling complete rifles and complete uppers, so no stripped a1 uppers are being released currently. *edit* Mike has stated he's waiting on 10" barrels, I'm sure he's holding uppers to build complete XM177E1 uppers as soon as he has the barrels in hand. A good number of complete XM16E1s were released last week and a few XM16E1 complete uppers were released on Monday so they are still moving complete rifles and uppers at a good pace. |

I asked this question this spring and he answered it would be a few weeks but that came and went hence why I have been checking multiple times each day. I am not trying to sound like sour grapes, I know he can't see the future, but something in the supply chain is hanging things up. Maybe just say no uppers till November at the earliest. I can wait but I hate wasting my time if it is not going to happen anytime soon. I mean shit he will sell hundreds (if not 1000's) of uppers based on how many of us have multiple gray lowers looking for a mate. |

At least have a "lottery sale". Put a few up for grabs now and then. And for the life of me, i really do not understand why they can produce A2 uppers to build AND sell as a lone item but not A1 uppers. The machining aspect seems to be a little more on an A2 series with the window cut for the elevation drum, hole for the elevation screw and counter-boring inside for the spring and pins, than the machining on a A1 series upper. Unless they are still obligated to other companies from prior contracts they had to honor like Brownells , who seem to be getting NDS A1 upper every so often. And as for frustration, i sourced 4 A1 uppers from outside places to meet my immediate "needs". I would be all over the A2 if i didnt have half a dozen or so real A2 uppers on built rifles ( A2 uppers when retro was normal ). |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mtomso7464: Depends on your definition of "few". Next month is a few weeks. 3-4 is a few IMHO. I don't want to get dragged into an argument over a definition, I made my point and will let it go at that. I'm just trying to reiterate that he never said they would be available, all he's said is that the supply is not there to sell them and hopefully that changes. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tedpro1: At least have a "lottery sale". Put a few up for grabs now and then. And for the life of me, i really do not understand why they can produce A2 uppers to build AND sell as a lone item but not A1 uppers. The machining aspect seems to be a little more on an A2 series with the window cut for the elevation drum, hole for the elevation screw and counter-boring inside for the spring and pins, than the machining on a A1 series upper. Unless they are still obligated to other companies from prior contracts they had to honor like Brownells , who seem to be getting NDS A1 upper every so often. And as for frustration, i sourced 4 A1 uppers from outside places to meet my immediate "needs". I would be all over the A2 if i didnt have half a dozen or so real A2 uppers on built rifles ( A2 uppers when retro was normal ).  Attached File |

Any thoughts on making a KAC FF RAS type quad rail using the same barrel and handguard nuts as the JSOC toob? I'd settle for a clone of Daniel Defense's now-discontinued Omega Piston FF quad rail. |
