What are they going to shoot with? An outstretched index finger followed by cocking their thumb?

Yeah, I was just letting you guys know that they're coming. No dibs, dammit! lol

Yes, have your PMAGs sent to me and order the conversion service and I'll make them hold 15 rounds before sending them on to you.

Watch the forum, guys. I'll announce it here when they're ready to go. Call it my thank you to NJGF and its members to give you guys first shot at them.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Price shouldn't change unless the cost of making blocks that work with the new design is astronomical. $22ea. I'll be limiting folks to five mags per order though. Let me get the block figured out before I start taking money. I'll announce availability here once they're ready.

I have an extremely limited number of black 15/20s coming in next week. They're the new style M3 20rd body so I'll need to work on the block before I release them for sale. I do not have enough to fill dealer orders so I'm releasing these direct to retail when they come in and I've got the block straightened out.

Nope. And at this time, any mags I receive are not being allocated to regular sales. I have literally thousands of magazines backordered by dealers so at this time, everything I receive is going into limited capacity production.

.308 receivers are larger than AR15 receivers due to the size of the round. Within the AR15 family, in general, yes, uppers and lowers are interchangeable with the exception of some large hole Colts (takedown and pivot pins are .174" instead of .154"...I think...someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

Okay, I'll look into making some of the FDEs pink and black. ... If I don't post again, my wife caught me and killed me...call the police.

...do you guys seriously want some pink ones? Because I can make that happen too... FDE is the ideal host mag for dying different colors.

Yep. Make an account in the webstore and signup for the newsletter. I post here but I also send out a notice when hot stuff like mags, BCGs, LPKs, lowers, etc. come in. Only newsletter subscribers get it though because being subscribed tells me you want to hear from me. I don't abuse it and spam you daily. I think in the four years I've been running PX, I've sent out a half dozen notices with two being in the last two weeks. The first shipment of 200 lowers are already sold and gone. I need to confirm the next shipment before I make backorders available but I will hopefully have them in a week or two.

Since I don't know when I'm going to get more black 20rd PMAGs to modify, I was noodling over applying Rit Dye to the FDE 20rd PMAGs that I have coming in about two weeks For those who are not familiar, Rit Dye is a permanent dye that actually penetrates the polymer of PMAGs a few thousandths of an inch. This means it's not something that can chip or flake off like spray paint. It also won't alter the texture of the mag the way spray paint will. Rit Dye isn't something that I can offer without cost though. It's mostly a time issue rather than material costs as the dye itself is cheap. I need to lock down some more specifics but I'm estimating the extra cost would be $2 per mag and one extra day of production time. So in this time of scarcity, is it worth an extra day and $2 per mag to have a black PMAG over FDE? Vote, people, vote! Unlike our politicians, I actually listen to your feedback and your votes mean something so vote and be heard!

Oh, since they're FDE, I might experiment with Rit Dye and turn them black. I'd need to look into the cost of doing so but assuming it was a couple bucks a mag, would you guys be interested?

I'll have a 10 per customer limit on them. Not taking orders yet for them because they haven't shipped to me. I'm guessing it's going to take close to two weeks for me to receive the host mags but when I do, I'll get them limited and put up asap.

Probably two weeks out but I should have several hundred available when they get here. Pricing will not change as I didn't pay more to get the host mags than before the panic buying. I'll be filling dealer backorders first then releasing these through my web store so if you're in need of mags, they're coming...just gotta be patient.

Not of that particular model, no. That was an overrun for another vendor that I bought. I might have a steady supply of them from another source but that won't be for a few more weeks.

27 minutes is how long they lasted.

Yep, sold out already.

http://midwestpx.com Quantities are pretty limited so I'm holding customers to only 3 per order per person for now.

Considering they're using pre-set, electronically-controlled, self-logging torque drivers (for instance) while I have a Sears/Craftsman torque wrench, I think it's safe to say they have better QA/QC than I do. The fact that they even have a dedicated quality department would suggest that. Additionally, as an example, LMT is ISO certified. It wouldn't surprise me if their quality department was on the path to a TS cert as well.

I personally wouldn't use any home built rifle for SD, not even the ones I build. My HD carbine is one direct from LMT. The one that rides in my vehicle is a Daniel Defense. When I build a rifle, it's a range gun. I may run it in a carbine class just to run the gear hard but my defensive guns are built by a factory. Could I pick up one of my builds and use it? Sure. Do I want to? No. Why? Because I don't have the same QA/QC protocols that top tier manufacturers do. It has nothing to do with the quality of parts.

I've got Paul's FFL on file.

The New Frontier lowers are an improved version of the Plum Crazy lowers. They were reinforced in the areas where the PCs would break/crack. They're fine for 5.56 builds because a lower receiver really doesn't see that much physical stress. Sometimes, they require a little hand fitting when installing a LPK but nothing extreme. One of the things that most people rave about as a positive is due to the nature of the manufacturing process, the fit between upper and lower when using a NFA lower is that it's super tight. Yes, the original AR design was intended to have some small amount of play however the commercial market has spoken loud and clear that it wants tight fitting receivers.

No, I need shipping confirmation before I start taking money for the second shipment. It's easier if you just list a few local stores and see if I have them on file.
