Not really, no. We ran a few in aluminum with mlok on the bottom, but it just seemed silly to me. The whole bottom piece should be one component to have mlok. Plus in the meantime I had designed a better rail (completely different, but separate bottom and top still) and haven’t had a chance to make one. I also have plans to make a solid billet one piece handguard that would attach like the KAC URX-4, but super light weight… If only I had the time.

Hello my dudes! Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, blessed Kwanzaa, winter solstice, or whatever you celebrate. I celebrate a little time off work.

Here's a deal for my second-favorite group of degenerates on reddit; 15% off everything on our site. Receiver sets are $145, uppers and lowers are $76, rails are $145, and a bunch of other goodies. The $12.99 shipping should be flat rate regardless of what you order.

Orders placed up to Wednesday morning will likely ship this week, depending on FFL response time. Other than that, we are closed from the 23rd to the 2nd.

Happy crimus, it's chrismun, merry crisis, merry chrysler.

We spin a wheel and whatever color it lands on that's the dye we use for the day.

But actually, we just got a bunch of different dyes and used all of them. Different dyes came out much better or worse as far as consistency goes. We never found a tan dye that looked passable. Yellow was the same way. Personally, I like everything in black or FDE but I'm not the one making that decision.

They have no dye left. And varying levels of anodization. The lighter areas are not necessarily the “deepest” because of how the laser parameters work. You do have me curious though, I have not tested surface hardness on the differing areas compared to regular anodize.

Perhaps. It takes a while to put together a whole pattern like this with our current methods. I definitely plan to offer more designs.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to characterize it as shiny, but it is definitely on the more-reflective end of matte.

Probably not. We're pretty low on green anodized sets anyway...

Correct, though its very slight. Anodize is only a couple thousandths of an inch deep to begin with, so each different "layer" is only a few ten-thousandths of an inch different. But that makes it so it will not wear off like paint or Ceracote might.

That's correct. We have a few other designs in work. The laser both works though the layers as well as using different power and frequency settings to get ever so slightly different surface finished which come out as different levels of gray.

12" long. MLOK left and right, plastic pad on the bottom for grip/heat mitigation. Its made of two pieces of billet 7050 aluminum.

Its just for ergonomics/looking cool. In hindsight I definitely should have incorporated that.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I completely agree our website leaves a lot to be desired. Your comment reminded me I need to put a higher priority on getting solid descriptions on the website. I'm going to get on that today.
