TGO Lowers - ACTION REQUIRED!

[Ted S.]

depends on the price for me. kinda tight right now...

[Guest Lester Weevils]

Thanks for the good info, Luke E., SL1K, and OhShoot. Apologies to others cluttering the thread. Figgered others might be in the same boat, wondering if an option to get a complete or near-complete lower was feasible.

OhShoot, I meant so say 16" barrel with whatever quadrail goes with that length, being so ignerant of the topic.

Please sign me up for one lower and one upper and maybe I'll get it put together one of these days. SL1K since we are both red bankians, we'll have to finally meet at some point. :) Edited September 18, 2013 by Lester Weevils

Just holler. We'll get it spitting lead in no time

Lester, you can get 16" with carbine or midlength gas, I recommend mid.

 

Gives longer handguard, the extra real estate is very handy indeed, especially if you attach anything on the bottom or sides, and it's generally a smoother less snappy running action. Some claim less "recoil" also, but I think that part is mostly subjective rather than empirical.

I'd say the same, mid length.

It does reduce recoil, empirically. The more it weighs the less recoil you will have. Will it be a noticeable difference? That is where the subjectivity comes in. Average shooters I don't think will notice a difference, but someone who shoots a lot may. This is because the weight difference in a mid vs carbine will only be a couple ounces on an aluminum rail and even less on something fiberglass.

The extra sight radius of a mid-lenth is an added bonus as well.

[mikegideon]

I think we're losing sight of some of the "build from scratch" options. Gas system length doesn't impact sight radius unless you're using an combination gas block/front sight. Gas system length doesn't have to impact rail length at all, even with an A2 sight. When it comes to battering from a carbine gas system, there are 4 standard carbine buffer weights available.

 

If you're buying an assembled upper, middy gas has some merit, depending on how it's configured. If you're building from scratch, middy does more to simply limit barrel choices than anything else. I don't think the military even issues middy rifles. If they do, it's not to the masses.

Well, yeah, I was referring to rail length using standard delta ring and handguard cap with A2 block/sight. Standard config like that with middy adds a bit over 2" of real estate, which doesn't sound like much, but it makes all the diff with room for your hand with say using a bipod.

 

Main reason I think so many folks use a vertical forward grip with carbine is just because there's insufficient handroom with the way they have configured it. I don't much like VFGs myself though.

 

But yeah, if you go with a free float setup, you have lots more handguard/rail options regardless of gas length.

Anyone have a link to a primer for all these options? I haven't paid much attention to the AR-15 to date.

Them uppers are right sexy. I may add two of those to my lowers depending on price Edited September 19, 2013 by Two Dogs

[Ropin4gold]

Im interested.  Would like to see prices for lowers and uppers.  

[TrickyNicky]

So I noticed that the city and state is already engraved on the side in the test photos, anyone know if that is enough to satisfy NFA standards?

No, because they did not make an NFA firearm. If YOU make an NFA firearm, YOUR info has to go on it.

I am interested depending on the price.

[brent_strong]

Im in for one of each pending pricing. If someone can PM me a ballpark, I can firm up my "order".

[GlockSpock]

I don't know what "ridiculously low" means in terms of today's market, but put me down for two receivers dependent upon final price and how close of an FFL will use for the east TN area. Maybe an upper or two dependent on price. Are they generally cheaper than the lower? Will either decline or commit to it in PM once pricing is discussed.

[StPatrick]

I will commit to one lower, am interested in the upper as well, but will need to know final terms before commitment on that part.

[Guest jrock4]

Interested in 2 lowers and possibly an upper depending on price. Thanks! Edited September 30, 2013 by jrock4

[atlas3025]

I'm in for a lower. 

 

I would like an upper as well, pending the price. 

Edited September 23, 2013 by atlas3025

[tomthumb_KTM]

Upper and lower. Price is the deciding factor.

[gfd_703]

put me down for one lower and one upper depending on price.

[dats82]

I am certainly interested, but I too would need some pricing and FFL information.  Do we have any idea on where we would have to go to get them and how much they will cost? 

[Spots]

PM sent requesting to be an FFL in Clinton to do transfers

Tapatalk ate my spelling.

[GlockSpock]

As an update to my prior request, I'm interested in one lower and possibly one upper. Someone sent me a PM with the expected price for the lower. If it is in line with that, I'll purchase one.

[Hydor]

Dependent upon final pricing I'd like:

 

1 Lower

1 Upper
