I recently saw the new AXTS AR15 lower using the new A-DAC pin but this really ups the anti. It's 7.62 AND its truly ambi, bolt catch & release. Oh and its PMag compatible :)
Found this on WEVO.

There are many other threads showing this lower, but heres the latest anyway.

When will these be available for purchase ?
Does it take DPMS or SR25/AR10 pattern uppers?
it is an armalite lower, so I would guess it takes ar-10 mags.
Takes DPMS LR-308 uppers and SR25 pattern mags.Quote:

very nice. what is the price for the finished lower as shown?

The prototypes were all machined from solid tool steel which is quite expensive.
All that to say I cannot answer your question on price right now. I do have a pretty good ballpark but would not want to have any unhappy customers before even selling a product if I am off.
gotcha, no problem. until you get into production it is hard to figure costs.Quote:

Not familiar with the dpms /sr-25 pattern, will this lower fit the ma10 upper from mega?
Not exactly. The takedown pins will line up, but the cut at the rear of the MA-TEN upper is angular, whereas the cut at the rear of this lower is radiused. So, there will be a gap between the upper and lower.Quote:

You are correct in saying that the prototype would fit the MA TEN but leave a gap. The prototype was only made to fit a DPMS upper because that is all we had on hand just before SHOT show.Quote:

In theory the production AX762 lower should fit any SR25 pattern upper ( MA TEN included) although we cannot garuntee it will fit other makers uppers due to their varying tolerances. The AX762 upper lower set will match up perfectly in every way in terms of fit, form, and function.
So your upper will fit a LMT lower??
Also can you use a SR-25 URX on it???
I hope so, that way i can build a SR-25 style upper for my lower

I don't know if the SR25 URX rail handguard will fit it. Honestly I had not thought about it til you brought it up. I will do what I can to see if we cant make our upper design compatible with it.
Since we do not have access to the tolerances other manufacturers use when producing the SR25 pattern, it may be in the best interest of both our customers and ourselves to only offer the AX762 as a matched Upper/Lower set. The last thing that we and our customers need is to have an upper not fit another makers lower or vice versa. Not only would both parties lose time and money in having to deal with returns, we would undoubtedly end up with returned uppers that were dinged or scratched. This would cost us money in no longer having an upper that was suitable to sell in new condition.
You can kill two birds with one stone
Make the upper and lower so the are cross compatable with LMT/KAC/Larue uppers and lowers
Also make the upper so it will work with the SR-25 URX, that way all of us guys with LMT/Larue pattern guns can build light weight uppers to replace the LMT upper without the KAC price.
If you do this you will create a cheap yet great 308 upper/lower and fit the need of a low price/lighter receiver replacement for us LMT owners

Has the 7.62 lower been released ?
one year later and still vaporware... :angry:
I checked with AXTS and the release has been pushed back indefinitely due to their very busy production schedules on their current products.
Yup. Axts is having problems meeting demand right now....... As is everyone accosa the board Current lead times are running a bit long. I ordered 2 ax556 lowers and had to wait a few months longer than quoted. The small steel lower parts are really holding them up. It was taking long enough that my 2 lowers shipped without them. Still waiting on the steel parts. I suspect the 762 lowers are still a ways out.
I would say the 7.62 lower is not going to be out till 2014 at the earliest, if at all.
I agree. 2014 seems likely. But why would it not come out at all?Quote:

are they shipping ANY products??? I've had an ADAC-F lower on order since June...
:(
Their Raptor charging handle seems to be the only product that I've seen occasionally showing up in stock on Rainier. Though even that is now backordered. Everything else seems backordered months, or maybe even a year at this point.
Yes. I received a pair of the AX556 lowers this week that I ordered in Jan. Yah it is a wait, but they are beautiful....Quote:

The only compensation for all the delays ( and there were a Few of them) was free shipping and 10 bucks off a raptor Handel. Not bad but Not great either. Their products are great but I don't know if I could do it again. Very fustrating.
I believe they've discontinued production on the A-DAC-F lowers. Instead choosing to put all their resources into the AX556 and Raptor charging handles.Quote:

I canceled an order places in January in the middle of June (for a-dac-f lower). I got tired of waiting and every time I asked for an update it was "should be soon."
Yup..... Eventually you do get your order.... Or part of of it. But the waiting and "should be soon now" stuff is just too much for me.Quote:

Will your Rapter charging handle fit a S&W M&P 10?
