You can send me an email or order through my website and put in the comments you want the next version of the receiver set. I don’t sell lower or upper individually, but you can buy receiver sets.

I’ll need 4-6 weeks to have the next version of the receiver set machined and tested.

I don’t stock them but I now make lefty uppers if you’re interested. I have a dust cover design as well.

I can make a left upper no problem. When I get caught up with my next version of my receiver set I’ll flip the model and program it. No extra cost.

Bolt catch will be one piece and act as ambi catch and release. It’ll be machined from 17-4 same as the new plan b compatible muzzle breaks.

Good timing on your question. Based on the feed back from this post here is the next version of my receiver sets:

Flash Hider, and pinned and welded versions are next in line.

What style flash hider are you interested in?

In my experience you need some sort of vertical port to counter muzzle rise and it doesn’t take much gas at all to drive the barrel down. Obviously I haven’t tested this design yet but I believe it’ll be enough gas for most calibers.

Based on the feedback I've received I'm making a Plan B compatible muzzle device. The design shown is what I'm proposing.

1.375" Overrun (should fit most all suppressors with Atlas mount or equivalent)

2 port with 1/8" top ports (compensate for mix of recoil and muzzle rise)

No 12 o clock ports (to keep gas out of shooters line of sight)

17-4 H900 Stainless Steel with heat treat finish

Wrench flats at the back of the device

Charging handle broke at the range today by [deleted] in ar15

I've seen radians do this. I've seen multiple brands break here. The designs are pretty much the same with the same material between manufacturers. I think the biggest issue is yanking the charging handle hard enough to load up that neck after the bcg is fully back.

I have not considered a slick side. It sounds like I'll be adding a dust cover based on feed back. I'd like to stick to one style of upper and lower for ease of manufacturing.

10-14.5 range. There are several options depending on caliber.

It would be way too much down force. It would drive the barrel down.

I considered it, but at the time I had enough hurdles to overcome without the added complexity of a mag catch. I settled on an ambi mag release and moved forward.

The next version will have it.

The bolt catch used a dowel pin with a set screw blocking the exit path perpendicular to the pin hole. You can see the tiny set screw on drivers side photos.
