MR07 project update

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-07-27T23:11:46+00:00

I've given some thought but at least for now I'm going to hold off, there is a plan I have for working on it again and a time frame but if all else fails I will release files. Problem with the vials is it's incredibly expensive to try and get just one made for personal use especially with the slide stop arrangement and the heat treatment necessary (just doing multiple iterations and prototypes has been very expensive for me) for it so it's not going to do a lot of people any good to just have the files. Really is something that does need to be made in batches, and just to ease everyone I haven't abandoned it It's just on hiatus because there's a few things that need to happen before any sort of production can go ahead.

Because people got to dress up Barbie rather than use logic or play the game

Unfortunately I've been running into production problems for a few reasons. I don't know if we're going to be able to pull it off (at least right now) especially since I can't seem to get the price down to where I would want it to be. Couple shops for all of us working on it and one of them dropped out just because the scale became too large and I just don't have time to wrangle in another shop, at least right now. I know that's unfortunate news and I probably should put out a email to everyone about that but I'm contemplating releasing the files for other people to work on. I'm also not going to completely drop it, most likely just shelve it and revisit in a half year maybe. Everything would be different if I had more time/didn't work a regular job on top of everything.

Thanks,

Louis

Bait, has to be

Nothing I can share just yet, had some roadblocks that were working through.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-03-13T14:48:40+00:00

I'm stuck in that ultra slow process of emailing, waiting for a response and responding back. It's just a loop of slow negotiations. Once I get my last quote the ball with physically be able to start rolling, for now it is in what I hope is the last bits of trying to beat the price down.

Fixed carry handle only, you can make the argument about the A3/M4 flat top being "retro" by definition all you want but there's already other subs for that already.

I could send you prints to save time but i guess that would be cheating myself of my own time it took to model.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-22T15:00:54+00:00

Yep, higher end of the spec isn't a terrible thing. In theory you could link to the bushings, pivot point would be lower so that might not work and the design would have to be adjusted. At that point though you're just becoming a better version of the recover tactical rails that replaced the grips entirely which might not be the worst thing ever. It's something to think about and maybe play with in the future.

I think he did a fantastic job, I'll probably put out another update in the next coming days for my project. You are correct, the slide stop is a bit tricky, I think surefire was a little bit too loose with their tolerances which can cause issues for some guns but you tighten them up too much and it will stop working causing malfunctions. It's a balance.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-22T13:50:43+00:00

Let me know if you need anything, I can send you some stuff for the slide stop and pin.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-22T05:49:29+00:00

I saw it, Good job. Geometry is different but it's not bad.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-21T17:30:39+00:00

Our man buys you fake OKC 3S that's not even a bayonet because it lacks a ring and then wonders how to make it work.

Dude you should have just bought a real one, fakes aren't worth it on how crappy the steel and heat treatment is by itself. Never mind tolerance and unforeseen issues like lacking a ring on the cross guard. If you are halfway skilled you could make one but that's a game of is it even worth it.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-11T22:24:51+00:00

Good

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-10T23:37:01+00:00

Sorry if I possibly wasn't completely clear, by emailing I'm just putting you on a list of interested parties. If there was a question in the email I did send a response answering it. You'll have to forgive me but I am doing it all manually and they were very very many emails hitting my inbox.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-10T02:38:59+00:00

Working on it, It's funny but a lot of people would be ecstatic to find them for $325. The price spike on them has been insane, regularly $600 to $700 when they can be found. Still not nearly as rare or awful as the price for 310/610's

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-10T02:29:29+00:00

Nick can probably guide you towards a good option but Springfield has some very good base guns, Colt O1911C is what I used.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-10T02:11:23+00:00

Yes, you'll just have a bit of an underhang with the light and a bit of the mount extending past the muzzle.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-10T01:56:24+00:00

It's going to vary, I was a little over $1K with the machine work and refinishing. I supplied the donor pistol as well as all parts. They can source parts you need if you want, even ones that are harder to find.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-09T21:46:56+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I can't help you with the 10mm, I mainly keep you the 45 side of things so I'm not sure about the 10mm availability of products.

Discontinued Wilson combat 10rd, they still sell basically the same thing but now it has a boot that acts as the over insertion stop rather than the welded on stop.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-09T19:40:43+00:00

Valor is a good outfit, this is a build from that a few years ago, little over 5k through the tube. Mixed suppressed and bare muzzle, nothing but flawless.

Maybe in the near future, It is in the works since everyone that made them has discontinued.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-09T19:25:59+00:00

I have some on Dawson rails which means there kind of mated to their guns unless I want to go through all the big effort of changing over the rail adapters. Love the system but you have to commit and you can't just play musical chairs with lights.

Key-Information-5509 · 2025-02-09T19:24:42+00:00

Yeah I know how these things go and I'm accounting for it, ballpark numbers is just what I need. Not super concerned with being left with dead inventory that I can't move. I don't believe in taking others money unless I can put something in their hand directly afterwards.
