I’d like to let you know that V2.8 is out, though it’s not that exciting of a release. The primary improvement is that the support rib has been redesigned to allow the use of Bear Creak Armory slick side uppers. V2.7 had a small amount of interference between these oversized uppers and the rib, this

In the past comments from the public have been effective at deterring the ATF from enacting new antigun rules. And yes, that was a redundant statement. This time around the ATF

A top priority now is getting instructional material done so that users know how to use the Bushing Installation Tool, print settings, and other important info. I am working on impact tester as well. Still in the
