I'll let you know what the final version looks like. If it's like the prototype I'll be sending it back. Mine arrives tomorrow (12/7/09). I’ll let you know what the final version looks like.

They keep on having production/accuracy problems. They are trying to remedy this, which is a very good thing to do and I commend them for it, but, when I placed my order in Dec 08 I thought they were in house ready to go for shipment. Why would a company "sell" something that doesn't exist yet?????? To the best of my knowledge, they have not shipped any to date (21 Mar 09). They keep on having production/accuracy problems.

It does bring up some legal issues if you planned on using it in your back yard, are using it at a airgun competition.

I wonder about the legal repercussions here. As the AR15 lower is the actual firearm, does this remain a firearm in use? Hrmm. I wonder about the legal repercussions here.

If you look closely at the picture you can see that he moved the barrel up off its normal axis and to accommodate it he had to cut open the handguard stock across the top. Also, note the pipe clamp at the end of the handguard stock, painted black... The machining of the front stock and the receiver looks to have been done with a hand tool... This has to be an early prototype at best, if not the dude is absolutely nuts. Maybe the $1000 version has a blued pipe clamp?
