I was told by one of the mods here that we could come back to the topic once I finished building out a custom billet 80% lower I finished milling. As some of you may know, it is a radical design that is without a doubt an acquired taste. Some hated it and others purchased some because they liked the design.
Well, I have a new design that's a little bit more toned down and not as radical. I just finished it today and it will be getting Alodined and coated with a ceramic powder coat next week. It's still 7075 T7 with all of the same features such as a tension screw and a threaded bolt catch/release pin.

Here is the original design sporting a BCM upper. Everything went together perfect with not even the slightest bit of play between receivers. I've put about 500 rounds through her with no failures as of yet.
