    Yep I'm watching. At one point I got asked to make 100 of them by an importer! At the moment I am back logged six months on orders so doing anything new would take a while. It really needs some one to make a die up and spin out a whole lot of plastic ones.

    That is what we are doing. We will be spinning out hundreds in the first run. We will also be able to do pretty much any colour so expect to see the Magpul colours available - even pink for the feminine if there is demand

    Unfortunately we cant show pictures yet.

    You could assemble a complete lower with a good trigger for the price of that stock.

    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Nah, (assuming you imported all the bits your self in one go. $35 US for LPK, 89 for stock, 89 for stripped lower, 40 grip, 89 for a2 buffertube kit, 110 for JP trigger and 60 for JP hammer + another 40 for freight (cheapest "Good" trigger + 30bucks for permits
    total of $582US which is more than 640 for the lower.
    My point is although its expensive at least it does not look manky

    It's unnecessary to have carbon fibre for an AR stock, seems like a silly choice of material.

    Unnecessary to have a pistol grip but still its an option. However not a silly one.
    What's the reasoning behind thinking it's a silly choice of material? Think it is more targeted at being a niche market option.
