TGO Lowers Revisited

[MacGyver]

I am assuming there will be nothing special about the upper except the fact that it comes from CMT ; no serial number , no special engraving ? Or are we talking about a billet upper ?

We're not even sure we'll have anything but the lowers. CMT has talked about maybe putting together some upper options, but that'll be up to them.

Brian,

I am in for two with consecutive serial numbers


Awesome job you are doing getting this deal!

[TGO David]

Guys, temper your expectations about things like matched uppers, sequential serial numbers, etc.  Those things all add excessive overhead to the logistics and were never promised.  Let's be glad we're getting a shot at some special commemorative lowers.  If we can do anything beyond that it's purely up to CMT.

[Guest Travtastik]

I am in.

[Glenn]

I am in for one.

[analog_kidd]

One more for me, please

[pieslinger]

I'm still in for at least one, possibly multiple lowers/sets. Would also take at least one in .308 if it became an option.

[43springfield]

I would be interested pending price.

[Two Dogs]

Still in

I don't think you'd get a batch buy discount then considering the original design would be altered everytime and plug in a new program for the CNC but I dunno though.

 

It would depend on the software. I'd think it could push it up a little but, theoretically, it wouldn't need to be much.

The only way this works is with one set range of custom serial numbers that can be sequentially machined.  Anything else takes custom programming of each lower and any economy of scale goes out the window.

So I can't get one with my image engraved on the side? :whistle:

CMT will do anything you want if you're willing to write them a big enough check.

lol

I'd just be happy to see the lowers.

[Johnny Rotten]

Low or High shelf ?

We're still just talking about making lowers, right?

 

 

:D

It's not like each lower suddenly has to be hand-made from scratch. Like you say, it's an entry in the software. It could be as simple as typing an entry in a field and hitting "go" or it could be more complicated. With an operation of that scale, it's not like some manual attention won't be required anyway.

 

Either way, it wouldn't hurt to ask.

People can have anything they like engraved after they take delivery.  I can say with certainty that we're engraving a custom range of serial numbers and that's it on this round. 

 

CMT is doing us a huge favor by considering doing it at all.

[mikegideon]

Regarding matched uppers... none of my upper receivers have anything engraved on them. Seems like an off the rack CMT billet upper would match up just fine. That's what I'll wind up doing.

 

TMF... I'm buying you one of those $4 tools so you don't launch any more springs :) I just use a box cutter

[Fourtyfive]

I do not expect anything special. All I want is 2 lowers. Now a # 380 serial number would be great ! Just kidding .....

I won't be messing up the finish after if I get one of these but that's fine. :)

I am going to sit quietly , any billet lower with the TGO art that I can get will satisfy me. Lets just roll this out and pay and be done , and a big thank you to those doing the behind the scenes work. ( MacGyver ) Edited August 24, 2013 by Threeeighty

[Sniper23]

I'm in. I don't care about what serial number or anything else. I'll be happy to have it with anything that refers to TGO. Thank you to everyone working on making these available to us.

[piercedan]

I'm still in for at least one.

[Emperor_Po]

Subscribed. I could be in.
