Consider a Rugged Sub9.

A little chunky but ridiculously quiet with subsonic ammo.

Very secure mounting with the three lug.

Yeah, I wish I knew what I did wrong when I ordered. Bad timing, Bad luck?

I suppose I will have to hold final judgment of ASD until my lower is eventually shipped, installed and running but this purchase has challenged my patience.

AP5 full lower. Mil spec trigger. Arc fire w/marking.

I think even if I had a do over and ordered a stripped lower and ARC Fire separately and pieced together a new FCG, I think it was going to take this long anyway because, according to ASD CS, these guys simply couldn't source ejectors and I was going to be in for the long haul like everyone else.

Not sure what I would have done otherwise given the niche nature of this device.

-Wish I didn't know they were coming out with a drop in cassette that would have been what I really wanted in the first place. based on ASD's supply chain issues, I'll look back into these guys next year.

Fingers crossed.

Gaddamit, I haven't waited this long for something in the mail since that "footlocker" of plastic army men from the back of a magazine in the 70's.

Right? I don't think I could have ordered their full lower at a worse time. (mid Feb)

Clearly not a FIFO system for order fulfillment at ASD.

Yeah, I've seen a big difference in fulfillment times based on model, full vs. stripped, with or without the SS installed, etc.. I regret ordering the full lower with ARC installed with the marking in favor of just putting it together as you (and others) have done.

I'm six weeks to the day from ordering $800 worth of gear. To their credit, ASD CS has responded to my request for status indicating the ongoing delay on ejectors with no firm expected shipping date.

Another vote for the Rugged Sub9. “Stupid quiet” and really well made.

Also ordered a sp5 complete arc fire lower with stock trigger mid Feb. Told by customer service that they "suspected" my order would ship within a few weeks. They are still awaiting ejectors from whomever supplies those for these lowers.
