    Umbrella Corporation Weapons Research Group

    Here's the deal, I enjoy collecting lowers with what I consider cool logos and using theme for builds. I've wanted an Umbrella Corporation upper and lower for several years and haven't been able to find them in stock.

    Does anyone know what their status is?

    I'm not a gamer, I really didn't know that whole aspect until I saw a guy wearing an Umbrella Corporation logo tee and tried to engage him in talk about his rifle, semi-hilarity ensued.

    Thanks,

    Dan

    You are likely best off buying one of those 'stealth' lowers and then sending it out to have it custom engraved.

    Example: the PSA 'stealth' lowers without all of their logo shit on them.

    If memory serves, Umbrella usually only does like one or two runs of lowers a year. Start watching their website, see if they have an in-stock notification; if memory serves the batch we got C.'s from was around August or September 2019.

    Can't hurt to reach out to their Customer Service email and ask if they know when they have another run planned.

    and they'll let you know when another batch drops; it was an immense help to us after two years of trying and missing. The things we endure and slog through for the ones we intend to grow old with...

    One other suggestion, get in touch with both them and your FFL and get the paperwork and license copies arranged on-file and waiting if they'll allow it.

    I had one way back when, cool lower but one of the worst finishes I’ve even seen. Literally felt like a chalkboard. I guess it was just that one run, but enough for me to steer clear from them again.

    I haven’t heard of them in years. I forgot they were still a thing.

    I have two somewhere. The finish felt weird, but everything seemed to be in spec. They are in a closet or a safe somewhere. I had to create a facebook account to get on the waitlist like 8 years ago. Lol.

    Thanks, I've reached out, twice, to be fair to them any reply could have hit my spam folder, as could the email on the notify me when in stock thingie. Emailed them again this afternoon after asked to be notified, again.

    If you don't need two PM me if you'd like and we can discuss.
