uscmCorps Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 When I first heard about this a few weeks back and saw the pics I thought to myself... sweet. Then I thought to myself, wait, Prime's making this? When it comes to Prime made WA M4 receivers that generally means they're hella expensive and probably not licensed. And from what I recall they have "issues". I wish they were just selling the lower, but with all the compatibility issues between different brands ... this kinda makes sense. Edit: Just spoke with Magpul PTS about this. Apparently this is indeed a licensed replica facilitated by Magpul PTS. Also, they indicated that we'll be seeing many more cross company collaborations in the coming months. Thumbs up in my book. Now to decide how badly I need this Magpul Receiver...

BigAl Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Are they doing an FDE Version and any chance of a WE one? Link to post Share on other sites
pforcerecon Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Oh you need it Corps..you definately need it. Especially since you can maybe re-do your Magpul FDE rifle that you "carbon build up" coated from awhile back. And finally add true realism to it. Link to post Share on other sites
ThaFlash Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'll wait for them to add the ambi bolt release. For $550+ they should offer something. Link to post Share on other sites

Sonny Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I love Magpul items...but I can't justify speading more on a body then the gun itself. I'm glad to see Magpul will be allowing others to produce products for them. It will open the spectrum of Magpul products. Link to post Share on other sites
pforcerecon Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Knowing how much this thing costs, hopefully someone like G&P will come out with one for a more affordable price. Licensed or not, its bound to probably happen. Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Thinking about it, i wonder if this is licensed or not. If it isn't, it's probably gonna be as hard to get our hands on this as it is to get an ACM Magpul UBR... If this is something you really want I would jump on it fast. EDIT: And knowing Prime products, this more then likely isn't Licensed. Ballsy... EDIT2: I believe prime lowers are compatible with RS uppers. a MUR-1 would look dope on this.

BaBaBooey Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 The price is a bit steep, but I was really impressed with the PRIME receiver. I also own a Lauer and I swear the finish on the PRIME kit is even better (I went with the standard M4A1). So far I've installed a Hobby Fix and G&P WA kits and the fit of all the parts is best among the three. It's definitely not perfect, but the flaws are very simple to correct. A few things I noted: The end plate that comes with the kit didn't fit. I had a Colt one sitting in my tool box and it fit perfectly. The firing block doesn't fit. Very lightly filed down the front face and dropped right in. The trigger guard roll pin is a bit tight. Tapped it down with a mallet. The dust cover is a bit too difficult to close (I had the opposite problem on my stock WA where it flew open with the slightest touch). That's pretty much it. I chose an Inokatsu front set and a Colt receiver extension and it is rock sold...even more solid than my Lauer. Hopefully they'll release different upper lower combinations like their PTW kits.

BaBaBooey Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 EDIT2: I believe prime lowers are compatible with RS uppers. a MUR-1 would look dope on this. Real uppers will not fit the PRIME kit. There are two modifications that are required for it to work - feel free to message me for the changes that you need to do. One of the changes is fairly significant and required a milling machine. Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I just want the real lower. *fruitcage* Noveske/Magpul rifles that are impossible to get. Link to post Share on other sites

BaBaBooey Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I just want the real lower. *fruitcage* Noveske/Magpul rifles that are impossible to get. POF makes an awesome billet aluminum lower. I highly highly recommend it. Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I hate the POF trigger guard. If i was gonna rock a billet I'd want a Larue, but I may just ask SMOS (made here in Oregon) who are the guys who MAKE those lowers for larue, to just buy one. I don't need to pay for the Larue markup. Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlesticks4220 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 hmm? 600 bucks (i could probably get my buddy to find me a real magpul lower at that price) hmm? this thing costs out the *albatross*! It should come with the ambi controls for that price! and maby an f.d.e version? Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan452 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 All of the prime bodies are 500 bucks so this is no different, since it is licensed by PTS i'm glad that there is no price increase due to the licensing fees, if there are any fees at all. I really hope they release just the lower reciever like they have for the PTW. Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I really hope they release just the lower reciever like they have for the PTW. I think there'd be compatibility issues with other manufacturers' receivers. Everyone seems to be doing things to their own spec. That's part of the reason why companies like RATech makes different bolt+carrier sets for brands like Inokatsu, WA, G&P, etc. Does anyone know how the Prime bodies are spec'ed compared to G&P bodies? As for price, it isn't horrible if you look at it from the fact that these are CNC'ed from billet aluminum (from what I understand). Material and machining costs can be very expensive. But if done right, you'd end up with a superior piece with tighter tolerances that's stronger than the cast alloy receivers G&P makes. Link to post Share on other sites
fiddlesticks4220 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Try 1500 for a real magpul lower. wow i just called my local FD and he told me it was 950.00(wholesale) and it would take 3-4 weeks to get in (damn i had no idea) (who actuality makes the real magpul lower?) as i believe the atf considers the lower the firearm and i do not believe magpul is licensed to make firearms?

BaBaBooey Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Does anyone know how the Prime bodies are spec'ed compared to G&P bodies? Sorry, what do you mean by "spec'ed"? You can't swap a G&P upper to a PRIME lower (but I think you knew that already?). The PRIME body is nearly identical in dimensions to a real lower. With some modifications you can fit a real upper over it. However, the modifications will render the upper useless and will no longer fit over a real lower. In other words, you'll make it into a permanent airsoft upper. It will also take any receiver extension or buffer tube. I hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites
smokenghosts Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I actually heard that the real Magpul lowers never began production, but did have a bunch of prototypes that were sold or given away. It actually had ambidextrous controls as I recall. I literally almost ###### my self when I saw this on redwolf. Link to post Share on other sites
