    From what I see, it's not hard to modify to work with A-DAC.
    EMR-A is the ambi mag release

    Ah yes, memory failed. Looking forward to it!

    Yes, I have the mil-spec profile ADAC components already from a forged Rainier lower, quite simple it seems, at least on the hobby scale, take a little off until it works, drawings not required like would be for production. Shoot, maybe even say a prayer, take shot, and drill the angled hole in a lower for a pin...

    Good to know you guys are still planning on making this. I've been waiting for it to come to market to use on a few of my rifles. As soon as you can post pics/specs, please do! Is there a time frame for the EMR-A?

    Sure, but only a heavily redacted/disguised pic, so nobody would copy us and beat us to the punch with our own design lol.



    One thing I can disclose is that I like the Norgon Ambi-Catch, but we can't infringe their patent. It does rock/pivot on the receiver (like Troy's and KAC's) so the EMR-A automatically loses a segment of the market of expensive receiver owners that don't wish to get a scratch on their ARs. None of our products were designed as boutique novelty items, all of them are designed to work as tools where reliability and utility come first, so the idea of it not finding a home on a $1000 receiver doesn't bother me.

    Those that use their ARs like the tools they're meant to be won't be bothered by it, they've ever been the folks we design and make things for.

    Santa did not forget! Ok he did, he's busy around this time of year and forgetful (mostly forgetful) but he did resolve this right away!

    I could not care less about pivoting on the receiver. If you can approximate the ease of use of the Troy with the location of the Norgon you will have created the best product on the market. Based on your past designs, I'm optimistic.

    The logic behind the new design makes sense, though personally I'm not a fan of it cosmetically. I do love all of my other FCD stuff. They ride on all of my ARs. And I do appreciate that you run the company based on quality not quantity.
