So he says they are going to get around 20-30 of these lowers, and almost everyone starts trying to claim two.
I kinda hope the dealers limit the number of lowers per customer to at most two...otherwise we will have a small number of guys buy up all of them.
Greedy f' ers lol :D

Most likely what I will do is go down the list and give everyone one. Then I will go back down the list and see who wanted two. If there are enough, I will do my best to give extras to those that want them.

I'll take one. I only need one.
Just to throw my opinion out there- I think maybe 1/2 (hopefully no more) of the people who want two want to have their cake and eat it too. For those of you who don't catch my drift- it would be very nice to sell the lower when they quadruple in price one day but still have one...
Thanks for the opportunity Grant!! It's nice to know we can get a quick fix while we are waiting on those Masadas. :p

No coupon. I also have NOT stated the price yet. I gave a range and actually think we will see them go into the $500 range.
My price guestimate is based off the estimation that Magpul has given me on what my price would be.
Billet lowers made in VERY small batches are always going to be expensive. You have to pay for rarity.

The $500 number was posted on TOS and Magpul said that was pure speculation.
Maybe they just don't want to hold anyone to anything yet?

I've read where Magpul said that lowers have been sent out to people, but not anything about them being sent out to dealers. I could be reading too much into it, but I'll bet that it would be big news to whatever dealer got theirs first.
If Grant has you on his list, you will be well taken care of, it just might be a little longer before everyone starts to see dealer orders being filled.

True....but Magpul lowers shipping is still Magpul lowers shipping. That's progress in the right direction. I can wait...hell this has been going on for over a year at this point. What's a few more weeks? They really look nice too.

From what I've heard, it's sounding more and more costly for Magpul to produce these and they might be looking to release them as a "special" product and not something that will be flying off of the assembly line. Maybe not though.
Due to this, the prices are definitely going to be high and I've heard they may be near $500. You really want 4? Think you can get 4?

Actually Joe is probably correct, as even Magpul wants to sell 1 per person. Heck they even checked the UBR pre-production orders so people doesn't horde them, my .02
talking to magpul at shot leads me to believe that these lowers will actually never be available.
So, i wouldnt be holding my breath on these.

Thanks for the backup!
I was getting the feeling they weren't going to be available at all. When I first heard they sold the MASADA to BM, that's what entered my mind- perhaps they found out through the lower endeavors that that kind of crap really isn't their cup of tea. That was BEFORE word was spread here and once I posted that article here I wasn't too worried anymore (about the MASADA.)

Talked to Drake today. These are still a go, but have been put on a back burner as Magpul is trying to get some of the products they showed at shot out the door.
Remember folks that these lowers are basically a loss (money wise) and they are simply doing it for the fans of Magpul.

Talked to Drake today. These are still a go, but have been put on a back burner as Magpul is trying to get some of the products they showed at shot out the door.
Remember folks that these lowers are basically a loss (money wise) and they are simply doing it for the fans of Magpul.

Do you think then that that means that those of us who helped give Richard advice on his MIAD on the first page of his thread on ARF many moons ago will actually be offered one for purchase or will it only go to the new Magpul groupies?
What I meant to say is there a difference between new fan and long time supporter?

I don't think that Magpul is going to sell these direct so it does not matter if you washed and waxed Richards car, your ability to get one of these is tied to your position on a dealer pre-order list.

Damn I even put two costs of wax on it!
Seriously though, you spoke to him so you might now better know, without promising anything, is my spot within the first 30 a good spot to be in?

It might not and that's not just a guess. Nothing firm either way, including a date if it is coming out. That just means I can have more time to say the $400 they'll cost.
The reason I'm so anxious is that my N4 upper is coming back from LWRC and I want a lower (with a flared mag well)to put it on.
Oh, well. I think I'll just test it out on my 6920's lower in the mean time...

To date, Magpul has never released how many lowers each Magul Distr. will receive.

Any updates on when these may be available? Obviously StickMan already has one, and I figure being number 4 on the preorder I should be able to get one. I know that their priorities are elsewhere right now but It shouldnt take this long, unless perhaps they want bushmaster to release them.

Word on the street is this was to be a fun project.
Now they've got a lot of other more pressing issues and projects that need attention.
Some say this might not happen at all. I'm still hopeful and they can take their time because they will be expensive and u'm still saving for their masada.

quote from Magpul on 3/15 from "the other board"
Right now liability insurance concerns combined with other higher priority projects have put the lower on hold for the moment.
I would recommend LaRue/SMS lowers or POF for your immediate billet lower needs.

I got to finger one of these lowers today at my gunsmiths shop. I'm impressed with billet lowers. Id like to be able to feel one of the SMOS/ LARUE ones as well. If Magpul ever makes them for the general public, I'm sold.

+1 on the SMOS billet lowers!
Here's a pic of my Rogue-50 billet lower from SMOS; it's a work of art as far as the appearance, fit, and finish go:

I know it's always a dicey proposition to ask, but I'm starting to get my lines crossed here as MAGPUL, Noveske and Daniel Defense (among others) appear to be quietly branching out into side-branding and seemingly unaffiliated product lines.
SMOS, being from Grant's Pass, OR, seems to have a clear connection to Noveske (though for all I know, it is more akin to the Berryville, AR, connection between Wilson Combat and Nighthawk). In any event, the design cues suggest that SMOS is also the driving force behind the ever-elusive MAGPUL lower.
Is it a reach to presume that we're likely to find much the same component (albeit with a different branding) by dealing with SMOS, as opposed to waiting for this project to climb back up on to the list of priorities at MAGPUL?

No connection that I am aware of between SMOS and Noveske.
I do not know who will end up making the billet lower for Magpul. I personally hope though that it is not SMOS as we have been seen more and more issues with LPK's fitting with the SMOS built lowers.

Interesting. Didn't LaRue just contract with SMOS to build their lower receivers? I could swear that just happened and unless you bought a Stealth upper you can't get a billet lower... Oh well, I like my LMTs anyhow...

Yes they did. Some folks are also seeing issues with PMAG's not dropping free. IMHO, the problem with most of the billet lowers out there today is that they tend to build everything to the tight end of the spec. For some things this is great, but for others not so much.

On their website they say some of the earlier batches had some dimensional errors which may be responsible for the problems. If your mag malfunctions (or if it was from the earlier batch) you can send it back for a new, correct, replacement.
Here is the site:

P.s. If you haven't sent in that pre-order yet I would love to get on it.....;)
P.p.s. Any word on future availability?.... with all this interest are they still planning on making it a limited run? I would personally like to switch out the lowers on all my ar-15s with them :D

There are several companies that Noveske buys lowers froml. AP is one of them I believe.

They never will be sold seperately and there are only a small run of these lowers.
