2012 DFWMustangs.net AR-15 lower group buy

[CJ]

So are we going to open up ordering again if we get guaranteed pricing? I've got some friends that want to get in on it all, but missed it the first go around.

It is hard to say for sure, I may have to pay up front and that may lock us into a set amount.

Hi CJ

I gave up on my old username and email and registered with my gmail and this different variation of my username.

This is Jeff from THF.

So one of the questions I wanted to ask you is, is Palmetto going to make these High Shelf or Low Shelf lower receivers?

And can we add to our orders?

Like I mentioned before that's still up for debate whether we can or can't add to the orders. Of course I'd like to add to the orders if we can. That's a good questions and we should ask. What is the difference between their lowers? My guess is it would be the cheaper of the two, considering our pricing.

I'd be willing to pay more for low shelf. Not too worried about money....I know you are trying to keep these as low as possible. Perhaps an option for either with different prices would be in order? I would really prefer low shelf if they can make it. If not, not a huge deal.

what's the difference between, High Shelf and Low Shelf lowers???

what's the difference between, High Shelf and Low Shelf lowers???

Look at the low shelf takedown pin area and measure down. The "shelf" is the flat area. It is lower on the bottom pic and sits way below the takedown pin Hole.

Also there is an area that sticks out further into the inside of the lower right above where it says "fire". It is thicker on the right side. Look at the top pic and the lower pic and you can see the area that sticks out. This is to allow the use of an RDIAS or Registered drop in auto sear or DIAS.

All my Spikes Tacticals are low shelf and can use a DIAS as well as my CMMG lowers. My Stag cannot as it is a high shelf. This probably does not matter to many people as the DIAS is anywhere from 10-13K.

But if you buy the RDIAS you can move it from lower to lower as you burn them up. It makes more sense then having a registered lower, because if it breaks you have to weld it and get it fixed. With the DIAS you can throw that 79.00 lower away and put it in the next one for a few more thousand rounds of full auto fun.

You have to have a lower receiver that is LOW SHELF in order to have the ability to put in the DIAS auto sear.

Like I said, most people don't need to worry about it....but that is the difference since you asked.

Only if we can buy them from SA&A, those guys are straight-arrow, upright folks! I bet they can get us a group buy pricing list that's unbeatable!

I'm gonna take out a home equity loan. If that's not enough, I'll donate sperm.
