It's not worth opening ourselves to the lawsuit that would invariably arise from raising questions about their character.  We'll just skip that and move on to locating a better source.

Mine will likely be a 300 BLK.

There is no such thing as a midlength when it comes to the 300 although that would remove a lot of the problems out there.   A pistol length gas system will cycle with subsonics or low powered loads

Sorry, but you won't be doing .243 Win from an AR-15 lower. Have to start with AR-10 one. (cartridge much too long).

Realized that right after I hit the post button.  "Sometims Im and id10t."

Do you have intel? I haven't seen anything on who will build it or what it would look like.

The best intel is that the guys driving this are exactly the ones I would let pick out a complete rifle for me. I haven't seen much of MacGyver lately. He may be in a work frenzy right now.

Gotcha. I hadn't been following the other thread so I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'm in no great hurry. I already built a rifle on a different lower last month and will simply switch out lowers when this one comes in... or I will build another one which would officially make me an AR hoarder.

It may be awhile before I build these. I have already outgrown my safe. There will be some bloody domestic violence in my house if I try to upgrade it, too. It will turn the redhead liberal pacifist into a pure redhead :).

Well glad I didn't miss the news. Back on topic of the OP: I think I am going to do a standard 556 build on this BUT if what was said earlier about this maybe being marked with the TGO logo I have been considering once I get it in hand I am going to get all parts for it through TGO and make it a true TGO build.

Me too. Again, I wouldn't expect anything less from the guys that are putting this together.

Well... We've had a setback on this.

The company that originally approached us about doing it has backed out. I'm frankly pretty glad that the owner of the company showed his character now before we sent him a $25,000 check. We were literally about to open up the payment page for everyone to fulfill their orders when they backed out. So, better now than after we started collecting people's money.

This should just be a temporary setback. We've had a couple other manufacturers reach out to us after seeing the interest. We'll see if we can't line another one up.

I'll keep everyone apprised.

Should we know to keep an eye out for a certain company with questionable character?

Almost makes you think about going to somebody like LMT.

Not a bad option. How 'bout CMT, from right here in Tennessee? Then again, I don't even know if they make their own lowers.
