As always, your feedback/thoughts are greatly appreciated. If the videos spur any other questions as well please post them and I will reply.

    more video will also be coming.
    The end plate and receiver extension should not remove from the rifle that way and the parts on it are non standard.

    The receiver extension end plate is an anti rotation feature for the receiver extension. It should be keyed to the receiver extension and therefore forced to turn with it.

    The disassembly instructions in the video at 1:14-1:40, you do not "hold the end plate in place and turn the receiver extension". The receiver end plate in this video is damaged and the stock had no anti rotation feature as installed. Because of this oversight the video gives improper disassembly procedure for any properly assembled rifle.

    I'll hold back on product opinions, but that video certainly needs to go back to the drawing board.

    TMS951:

    thanks for the comment, interesting insight. The assembly instructions as described in the video are accurate, but the narrator was using a pistol butt plate that didn't have the anti rotation knob. With some time constraints we were/are under relating to shot show we wanted to get an assembly/disassembly video out there for users. I think most users (clearly someone like you) would see the difference when assembling the part. If you like I will pm you updated video after shot show. If you are going to be at shot show come check us out.

    For that matter, ANYONE on this forum going to shot show come check us out, reference this thread and Viper5, will receive a discount.

    Gentlemen...on another note, bringing a niche product like this to market has been an amazing journey, but without the invaluable feedback from professionals/SME's like you I don't know how far we would have come. Might seem like an odd statement to some of you who stated that you would not want to purchase and listed your reasons why, but the questions and concerns brought up in forums like this have truly increased the quality of design and inspired slight modifications/enhancements. Again, this product fits a whole in the market by decreasing OAL for concealment and carry purposes while still allowing user to fire while rifle is folded. It is the first of its kind, now the reviewers (who most of us are familiar with) will be taking the next step in verifying quality/durability.

    Thank you all for the well wishes. Thanks also for keeping abreast of our progress.

    And again, we welcome in advance the continued dialogue...

    I have spoken with Viper a bit about doing a review, but hasn't happened yet. I hope it does, I'm interested to see what this is like.

    Hello Everyone,

    The product is also sold at a reduced price as a AR pistol buffer kit. PM me for details.

    Kevin Vick with Crucible arms is about to do a review. See below initial video taken at SHOT Show last week.

    https://youtu.be/joJQqWwghtk

    Gun Blast will also be doing a review likely next month.

    The remaining prototypes are already earmarked to other online reviewers and I will be posting all upcoming reviews when made available. First ship date is expected to be May 1.

    We have put 10k rounds thru it ourselves but understand completely the desire to see third party testers post their opinions on the product. Thank you for your patience.

    Shot Show was a huge success. Most of the purchases came from dealers doing their own custom AR Builds.

    As always, let me know of any other thoughts/questions.

    Thanks,

    Viper5
