Literally love shooting this sexy beast

Got about 80% of the parts I need to build a matching pair of rifles.
Muzzle devices, front sights, and a couple finger stops get here next week.
Bootleg BCG's are on B/O.
Lowers are not yet being produced, but injection mol cavities are finished. They're polymer.
Uppers are out of stock, but more on the way I'm told.
Everything else, including optics, is in a box on the floor.

Any issues with yours?

I keep having failures to feed, and it seems I’m not alone....

Those KE Arms lowers look awesome. I'm thinking about getting a couple also

I had some issues, but I figured it’s a break-in issue. I mean, I can’t even get the damn upper apart from my lower because the tolerances are so tight LOL

Do your mags have the steel feed lips? I was seeing a deformity on the front of early mags, not seeing that on mine yet, but I only have 200 rounds through for now. I’m going back sometime next week for more.

I have both USA mags from LWRC (left in pic) and German HK mags. Both appear to have steel inserts at the top...?

I forgot to ask if you have the v1 markings at the bottom of the mags. The v1 marked mags don’t have as many issues as the originals
Lwrc should take care of you if you call them. I have a late serial number: smg18xx
If you have an earlier serial number, you might have old mags.

Edit: sure looks like you have the same mags I do from the feed lips...not sure why you have that many issues :(

Order a couple, the stripped lowers are like $89, and you don't have to buy a grip, stock, trigger guard, buffer tube, end plate, or castle nut.
In hindsight, I should've just ordered the premium complete lowers rather than stripped. I'm fitting mine out in pretty much the same way. SLT triggers, JP springs, ambi safety.
I may order a couple more just to have them.

Both Silencerco pistons arrived today from JoeBobOutfitters. I think I ordered them 3 days ago. Absolute legends during these weird times. One site I visited showed SEVEN to NINE WEEKS for shipment of the same products!

Now I just need some 9mm 147gr and/or a .45 1911 barrel.

I picked up an SLT trigger already, and it is amazing. Highly recommended.

Every gun problem stems from poor manufacturing, poor design, incorrectly assembly, or a lack of maintenance.

That sure narrowed it down. Glad I could help. [emoji23]


Oh, I fixed a Glock today. Yes. A Glock.

Yestiddy...

A minor workout, rifle work at 100 yards-ish and rifle/pistol transitions at 25 yards.

Best part, free brass score from the strangers who showed up!

Got both the American Defense QD mount and SIG ROMEO5 today.

Both were easy mounts, brought the optic more in line with my eye with a good cheek weld which was the whole point of both. Now to do some zeroing.

Took the 1886 out and fed it the 1st of my reloads with trail boss. It was silly good fun with no recoil at all. Not sure which powder charge was the most accurate because they all rang the steel very well. Now to make more!

Every part of that post is winning.
