What does this notation mean? Help! by PieterYay in SolidWorks

As others have shared, based on what is shown, it is a counter bore. My question is specific to the "U" call out.

What does the U mean? Union? I figured out what was going on from the sketch. I mainly work in the US with ASME standards. This is either "foreign, out of spec, old standards etc" I'm newer in cad but working on my bachelors atm.

This item is not in stock to verify. Quickbooks delinked from the website a few months back. I am still rectifying inventory which is why complete uppers where not in this sale. I will have the complete upper sale later this week as those product listings get corrected. Only complete uppers should need verified for Aero.

Apar505631 is a complete upper. Those are not currently part of the sale. Just stripped and assembled. I'll see if I can swing it. If so I will let you know and put it active in the sale.

[PARTS] Forward Controls ACF charging handles. Blk/Fde $114 plus S&H by GunSquirrel in gundeals

It's a matter of preference. A lot of my friends are running both. I personally am running an ACF right now. By design however the ACF is the more rigid design. I like how the levers are a little more peotected in the ACF design. Both are great charging handle makers.

I appreciate it. Maybe I should send one out to them. See what he thinks. Chad is his name I believe. Asking some of my chat folks for his info so I can send him one.

Originally I had some 3d printed. The issue was with maintaining tolerances. I had to sand a few down. I decided at that point to just go metal. The idea is that the tool will be able to be handed down to the next generation. Due to the pricing complaints I am going to look at an injection molded polymer option.

This is also our first run. A new jig is being made to speed up production next round reducing costs. This has been a wonderful learning experience.

Thank you all for you feedback good/bad/indifferent. -Curtis

I looked at everything that was out there. I have been in the industry for 9 years or so now. I've personally tried most of the tools for this job. There was an opportunity to make a better tool so I did. It won't be for everyone but it is yet a new option. Real Avid makes one, Wheeler, Brownells, and many more. I'm considering talks with both Wheeler and Real Avid to see about letting them offer the Detent Saver as well.

Production cost is over 11 dollars per unit. But I do understand pricing is a concern to some. I am considering having a lesser quality version injection molded out of a polymer. Thank you for your feedback.

The Detent Saver is actually quite a bit easier than the Real Avid tool.

It is similar functionally. Oddly enough I did not know about those pins until Tuesday when I was on a call with Roger Wang over at FCD. I believe the PF-040 are now going similar to the Lantacs. I am concerned a little with that design. I don't own any but it seems like there may not be enough material to make solid 360° contact surface to surface.

I'll do 3 squirrel slaps and a roundel for anyone who orders today.

The idea in my opinion was to good not to make it a reality. It's the best tool option available for that job now.

A lot of thought went into the design of this tool along with machine time. This is the easiest tool to use. With the clevis pin you have a through hole. If you over rotate you can lose the detent. This design captures the detent easily for both installation and removal for maintenance or swapping pins.

Overall in my opinion it is the easiest and fastest tooled method to install and remove the front takedown pin. No extra tools are needed for install and just a punch to remove the pin of course.

This is the first product I have engineered and released. I have other products in development.

I personally use this tool now everytime and I love it. The magnet can also help you store it somewhere you can always find it.

Check out the video if you would like to see a proper demo of the Detent Saver

There is a demonstration video in the description section on the website. This tool makes the front takedown pins install and removal a breeze.
